This series continues to get better with “Betrayal and Lies” that drew me in immediately and quickly became a page-turner of ups and downs in this emotional historical romance. I loved the undeniable chemistry between Lady Cristina and Viscount Harlow. Ms. Pearson writes with so much love and emotion, I just can’t put her books down and am always sad to come to the end. This is the fourth book in her Convenient Arrangements series and I look forward to more from this gifted author. I received an advance reader copy of this book from Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review.

This was another great clean Regency romance by Rose Pearson. I enjoyed the storyline very much. Even though it’s part of a series, it is a standalone story with no cliffhangers.

What a great book! Another delightful story from Rose Pearson. The book is very well written, full of adventure, hope and a sweet story of love. It grabs your attention and holds on to it from cover to cover. The story line is terrific, and the characters are wonderful. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen for Christina and Lord Harlowe. Christina endures a lot, and there are some bumps in the road for their relationship, but the story has a very sweet happily ever after ending. I absolutely loved this book. A definite must-read!!
Interesting and entertaining characters that makes the story a page turner. Following the journey of the characters makes for entertaining reading. Love a good historical book. Good read!

Another great story from Ms. Pearson! This is a series I’ve really come to love and am always looking forward to the next book, and they keep getting better each time. There is just the right amount of romance intertwined with mystery and intrigue that I just could not put the book down. I was hooked right from the very start. The plot was intriguing and exciting with many twists along the way that really keep you guessing. The characters were so wonderful and endearing you can’t help but fall in love with them. Christina and Richard are a lovely couple. Their future together is in jeopardy due to a forced marriage, and they must find their way back to each other. This is a very well-written story that just comes to life as you read it. Ms. Pearson did a great job of crafting a beautiful tale with twists and turns and weaving it all together for a beautiful end. If you have not read this series yet, you are missing out. This is a series you do not want to miss!

Another wonderful and entertaining clean Regency romance!
I just finished reading Betrayal and Lies which is the 4th book in the Convenient Arrangements series by Rose Pearson. Betrayal and Lies is another delightful and clean regency romance. In a new twist in an arranged marriage our heroine, Lady Christina, loves someone else when an unwanted engagement is forced upon her. I will not spoil the story but will say that this is a quick read and highly enjoyable.
I have enjoyed all the books my Ms. Pearson so far and look forward to more.

I enjoyed reading this story.
Christina and Richard are our main characters. Christina is a strong, intelligent woman cowered by responsibility. Richard is ambiguous…until he isn’t.
Together, along with a some interesting sidekicks, they must fight for the future.
I recommend this delightful Regency romance.

How two couples found themselves separated and betrothed to the wrong person. An interesting story. It kept my attention from page one to the end. It reminded a little bit like the movie “The Sting”. Such an elaborate plan to right two wrongs and to stop one person from their unruly, frittering away of money they did not have. A very good read.
As always, there is the sweet heroine and her dashing hero. Add several, possible bad guys and you have a great mix for an interesting and complex story. The book has it all: mystery, sweet romance and a happy ending – after many twists and turns. I think this is Rose Pearson’s best novel yet.
I was given an advanced copy to read.

A story that is a little different than others, but just as good. This time the father did not force an attempt for marriage, but a person that he had owed a debt to from cards. Lady Christina loves Lord Harlow. Will they be able to work out the problems and find happiness? Could not put it down as I wanted to see if there would be a HEA.

Lord Harlow has been watching Lady Christina for a while. He just wasn’t sure that he was ready to commit. When he is finally ready to, he finds out she is betrothed to another! She is not herself but she has been forbidden to speak of it. Can Lord Harlow discover the truth before it is too late? Another wonderful story in this series! A must read!

Lady Christina has been in love with Lord Harlow for a while. When they meet again in Season 2 he is drawn to her. Just as he’s about to ask to court her he discovers she is unhappily betrothed to another.
I love that Lady Newfield is in this book as well. Christina is another character who gains confidence, strength and courage from Lady Newfield! Lord Harlow is no push over either. I loved his determination and desire to right all the wrongs being done. Lord Durham is the ultimate antagonist and evil character destroying as many lives as he can while inwardly being a coward. I loved this original regency story. Rose Pearson is the Queen of Regency novels! I look forward to reading the next book in this series!

Championed and Saved
There is always more than one side to every story and no one is truly as they seem. Such is the case with Betrayal & Lies by Rose Pearson. This clean Regency romance is not only about love, but it is also about honesty, trust and a willingness to do whatever it takes to achieve what one’s heart desires more than anything else in life.
Since every reader perceives a read differently, the following are my own thoughts about this work.
Although Rose Pearson is a good writer, this is not one of my favorites from among her books. The characters in this read, though likable and understandable, came across dignified by also stale and flat, as did their dialogue. The story was okay, but again it seemed to lack something. That spark, that twist which makes me think ‘I did not see that coming’. I feel that even during the most rigid of circumstances, a bit of humor is a good way to release the tension. This book needed more humor. Finally, even with an epilogue, the ending was not as satisfying as it could have been.
Content 411: This is a clean standalone book. It is suitable for any age reader.
