Synopsis

Will Dorning, as an earl's spare, has accepted the thankless duty of managing his rambunctious younger siblings, though Will's only true companions are the dogs he's treasured since boyhood. When aristocratic London is plagued with a series of dognappings, Will's brothers are convinced that he's the only person who can save the stolen canines from an awful fate.

Shy, bookish Lady Susannah Haddonfield has no patience with loud, smelly beasts of any species, but must appear to like dogs so as not to offend her sister's only marital prospect. Susannah turns to Will, an acquaintance from her most awkward adolescent years, to teach her how to impersonate a dog fancier. Will has long admired Susannah, though he lacks the means to offer for her, and yet as they work together to rescue the purloined pets, it's loyal, dashing Will who steals Susannah's heart.

Contains mature themes.

Goodreads review by Lady Wesley on February 15, 2021

A charming story a man's love for his dog by Grace Burrowes. Oh, and there's a heroine too. I love Grace Burrowes’ historical romances and have read almost all of them. Over the years I have noticed that her heroes – besides being handsome, charming, and lovable – are decidedly devoted to their horse......more

Goodreads review by Wollstonecrafthomegirl on February 24, 2016

Somewhere between 3.5 and 4 stars. Only Grace Burrowes could possibly get away with a hero called Willow. But here we have one, and his brothers, also named after various types of tree. And dogs. A lot of dogs. A lot of dog chat and dog intrigue. And a somewhat confusing mystery plot centered around......more

Goodreads review by Pamela on June 22, 2018

I'm always so strangely ambivalent about Grace Burrowes' books. The prose is so elegant, there's a lot of emotional depth and insight, the majority of the dialogue is very well written and subtly witty, and her heroes are such decent, animal-loving, kind and honorable souls who offer a refreshing br......more

At first she was too naive to see what was really happening, but Will Dor......more
