♥ A swoon-worthy nobleman with a dark past♥ A debutante with a flawless reputation♥ A compromising embrace♥ A close-knit, meddling family♥ Sweet Regency romance!
From New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal and her daughter comes the first novel in their beloved Regency series featuring the “outrageously funny, loyal, and endearing” Chase family.
Lady Alexandra Chase has always liked family.
Lady Alexandra Chase has always liked being the perfect daughter, thank you very much. Why would she bother chafing against society’s restrictions when instead she could be basking in the warm glow of its approval? But when her brother’s best friend—and secret obsession—returns from a long spell abroad, she begins losing interest in the suitable young lord she’s expected to marry. Suddenly, family duty and a flawless reputation seem less important than the chance, however slight, that her girlhood crush might notice her now that she’s all grown up…
Tristan Nesbitt has done some growing up himself over the last few years, what with moving across oceans, inheriting a title, and facing a devastating scandal. But through it all, he’s never forgotten the Chases, the closest thing he had to a family back in his school days. When his old friend Griffin Chase requests a favor, he’s happy to oblige, as long as he can maintain enough distance from the family that his infamous past won’t tarnish their good name. Unfortunately, one Chase seems intent on getting much closer to him than she should…

Wonderful characters
These authors remind us how awful, devastating and hurtful gossips and judgments of others can be. I really enjoyed the mystery. I also saw love and compassion. A book to make you think.
A lovely wel written romantic story
Loved it! Very entertaining.
I loved the characters, and found myself interested in the twisting tale to the happily-ever-after I knew was coming. I LOVED that is was clean Romance–Thank You!!!
Enjoyed this well written Regency romance.
Interesting story but would have enjoyed it more without that one bedroom scene. No sex but in bed together
I truly enjoyed reading this Book.
Alexandria & Tristan’s Journey was Absolutely Wonderful.
Tristan’s sleep walking was an interesting characteristic was Great.
I Love how Alexandria knew without a doubt that Tristan was not Guilty of murder.
Lauren Royal created Spectacular Characters in “The Chase Family Series.
It’s a Wonderful Book with Spectacular Story & Characters.
I Love how the Young Ladies cooked their own sweets like biscuits or ratafia puffs.
I have a copy of the Recipe Book by Lauren Royal, it is so Wonderful to have the ability to create the treats the Chase Ladies used to aid with the men they choose for Husband’s.
I Loved reading each & every Book from The “Chase Family Series”.
I am pretty sure I read this before. I different plot.
I love the independent nature of the Chase women. I feel like this rewrite, while it may please those easily offended by sex scenes, removes not only the mildly explicit scenes,but part of the depth and realistic nature of the characters.
I loved this book. Good story, good characters.
This book is just a highly edited redo of a previous novel. The point was simply to remove the sex, but the novel lacked much else of interest.
fast and funny enjoyed it
Really like the clean and sweet version
I got a “tablet” for Christmas and this was the first book I read. It was a free “Happy Ending” book which is something I needed to get me back into my reading mode.
This author is wonderful! I could not put this book down!
I now have all the books in this series, the second book is every bit as exciting as the first, almost done and ready,to start the third.
I enjoyed it
A little tedious to read, for me. Didn’t finish
Loved it
Cute!
