Synopsis

Treat yourself to a delightful Regency romance with a fairy-tale twist: "Grace Burrowes is terrific!" (Julia Quinn, author of the Bridgerton series).Duncan Wentworth once tried his hand at rescuing a damsel in distress long ago, and he's vowed he'll never make that mistake again. Yet when he comes across a stranger in the poacher-infested woods of his estate, decency compels him to offer the lady aid. Matilda is whip-smart, she can read Duncan's horrible penmanship, and when she wears his reading glasses all Duncan can think about is naughty Latin poetry.Widowed duchess Matilda Wakefield can't entrust her secrets to Duncan without embroiling him in the problems that sent her fleeing from London, but neither can she ignore a man who's honorable, a brilliant chess player, and maddeningly kissable. She needs to stay one step ahead of the enemies pursuing her, and falling into Duncan's arms is a distraction she can't afford—or they'll both pay the price."Grace Burrowes is terrific!" —Julia Quinn"Grace Burrowes is a romance treasure." —Tessa DareLibrary Journal Best of the YearPublishers Weekly BestsellerBookPage "2019 Most Anticipated Romances"Bookish "Spring 2019 Must-Read Romances"

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. The worst betrayals came from the closest ties. The series Rogues to Riches follows the Wentworth family and their sudden inheritance of a Dukedom. Duncan Wentwo......more

Goodreads review by Jacob

This is second in a series and I think it benefits if you've read the other one first. It's not really necessary as you get everything you need to understand the story here. But I think having the full back-story for the Wentworth family is informative and knowing both Stephen and Quinn from that st......more

Goodreads review by Jan

Not bad, but not my favourite from this author. I did like both Duncan and Matilda, but I found the plot a little too complicated. I enjoyed their romance - Duncan was a very quiet fellow who was not well-known for romancing the ladies. Very different from the cliched 'rake', and I liked that. He di......more
