From the Back Cover:
Responsibility, romanticism, and true love…
As the daughter of the Marquess of Exeter, Lady Charlotte Featherington always knew she was destined for great things on the marriage mart. Little did she imagine falling in love with a man on the eve of her parents announcing her betrothal – to someone else.
William Hartwell might be a Duke, but he suspects neither his title nor wealth will prove enough to hold the heart of the young lady who has captured his. The scandal surrounding his first wife’s death makes trusting again difficult, while the mysterious happenings at his ancestral home, Hartwell Abbey, seek to separate before they are wed.
How can a young Lady negotiate her future when her heart demands the opposite of duty? Can they both learn to truly love from the legacy of Grace?
Amanda’s Review:
I never got around to reviewing Carolyn Miller’s first novel, The Ellusive Miss Ellison, which I loved, so I was determined to set that right after reading the next and equally delightful book in her Regency Brides: Legacy of Grace series. In fact, I would even go so far as to say I liked it even more.
The characters–both Charlotte and William–are drawn with depth and colour; Charlotte, the social beauty who loves flattery and attention, and William, the introverted and intense man of integrity. The challenges those two character types bring out when faced against each other, makes much room for growth and development. Both have to change enough to make a marriage work.
But along with the characters and their journey, there is a bit of mystery afoot with some strange and menacing occurences at William’s home. And I do love a good dash of mystery and intrigue.
So, now I am looking forward to reading the third book in this wonderful series, and then onto Carolyn’s next series, Regency Brides: A Promise of Hope.
