“His Grace looks to be the type of gentleman who
would appreciate a very delicate cup and saucer,” she continued. “One with
plenty of colorful flowers painted on it.”
Bray was impressed at how, when Miss Prim issued
the orders, the girls went scurrying to their duties without question or
complaint.
He had a thought that he might have won a
battle, but he wasn’t sure he could win the war.
This historical romance was a great start to
what I am sure will be a series worth following. One of my New Year’s
resolutions this year was to read more historical romance because it was one of
the genres in which I was severely lacking last year. I was very intrigued with
this story because I love to read about sisters. Our heroine, Louisa Prim, has
been handed sole guardianship of her four younger sisters and part of that commitment
means that she must make a suitable marriage match so that her sisters have a
chance of someday doing the same. Unfortunately for Louisa, the man who has his
sights set on her is someone that she cannot stand, Bray the Duke of
Drakestone. The chase all over London is on!
The chaos of the household that is the Prim
women was one of the most thrilling things about this book, especially watching
Bray interact with them and meet them all for the first time. I was so pleased
with Louisa’s character because she is so feisty and fiercely passionate and it
only has me thinking how much I cannot wait to meet her other sisters. Louisa
has the well-being of her sisters constantly on her mind, and this fact only
drew me to her character that much more. She was a great sister and I loved
watching her interact with her younger sisters just as much I like watching her
and Bray go round and round about matters of love or lack of! If you love
romance stories where the hero and heroine are not an immediate match, then
this will be a perfect series starter for you!
