Looks can be deceiving, the same is true for reputations As the head of his family, Robert Beckford, the Earl of Masten, was accustomed to dealing with various problems his siblings had caused of one sort or another. However he wasn’t prepared when his cad of brother ruined and then abandoned a young lady. To right the wrong, Robert married the girl himself; but his chivalry only went so far. He … He didn’t want a wife, and most certainly not a scandalous one. So after repeating his vows, he sent her packing, off to a secluded estate and expected her to stay put. After years of mistreatment at the hands of her family, Lydia was prepared to be an accommodating wife; but her rigid and unforgiving husband asked too much of her. After languishing for years in her opulent prison, Lydia leaves her country estate for the glamour and excitement of London—and unfortunately her husband’s path.

This was a good read. The author does hit on some touchy topics. But did so in a tasteful manner that it didnt take away from the romance between the main characters. Each hiccup in the relationship made the storyline more intriguing and I didnt want to put the book down. I will be looking into Luke’s story and hopefully will get a glimpse of how these 2 characters are doing 🙂
A wonderful romantic tale. Loved the characters and enjoyed the way the author wove the story. Couldn’t wait to read the next story in the series.
It kept my interest, I’d pick it back up every chance I got.
This book was entirely predictable and pretty cheesy. I can’t recommend it
Surprise ending!!! Great plot!
Wonderful reading
A good read. Moves nicely.
Not your typical romance.
I enjoyed it very much.
Loved it.
I really enjoyed this book, with all the twists and turns in the storyline, I look forward to reading the next book in the series
Well written and an enjoyable book to read at the beach
I thought the premise of the story matched the known social values of the time. The characters were well written and it was easy to become invested in them. I intend to read the rest of the books in this series
I loved this book…….I did not put this book down till I finished……..
I enjoyed this book. It was not a typical regency romance. I liked the characters and the lessons along the way.
I enjoyed this book, but felt it was a little unrealistic in how fast the characters fall for each other. After I read the book, I purchased 5 more in the series and am enjoying reading about other characters introduced in this book.
Great plot with a surprising twist
A good Regency Romance
I enjoy these historical romances with their characters. They are quite entertaining. I’m always glad for the happily ever after endings.
Repeated chapters.words missing.
