I loved that this story did not follow the typical, historical romance ‘formula’. It was a very unique tale that immediately drew me in. The characters were vivid and complex and made the story seem so realistic, that I often felt like I was actually there watching the story unfold.
*I received a complimentary ARC of this book in order to read and provide a voluntary, unbiased and honest review, should I choose to do so.
This is a sad tale of a remote cousin inheriting the Marquess title. Sometimes after the death of a noble, it takes months to find the next in line. This is the case in the instance of Arthur. The late Marquess’s wife has other ideas of allowing Arthur access to the estate. The problem is that both desire the other, and Katherine realizes that she can’t keep Arthur from taking possession. Arthur doesn’t want to throw the Dowager Marchioness from his home, but make her his Marchioness. I like this story, because as Katherine became more reasonable, she became the Marchioness that she truly was all along.

A deeply emotional story of loss and grief, and the actions brought about by them. A woman running scared, full of fear and hurt, has chosen to react in anger, allowing her pain to touch everything around her, including her daughter. This is a wonderful story of healing and growth, and the joy that comes from being truly loved. I hope you enjoy it.
On a personal note, I’m sad that the author has opted to join others in the practice of manipulating readers into giving their email address to read the entire story. It’s not right. I didn’t read the extended epilogue.
I read a pre-release copy, and assume that the typos, grammatical errors, and other editing issues were corrected before the book’s final release.
An emotionally fraught romance filled with anger, frustration, uncertainty, hostility and some hope. I found the author’s portrayal of the h’s character brilliant. The h’s character went from a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde conversion. The range of emotions the h went through the author brought to life. It was easy to identify with her emotions. The H was a kind man very understanding and determined. He was also emotionally intuitive to the needs of the h and her daughter. Even when the h was horrible to him, he was forgiving. The romance between them began from the beginning and had a gentle build up over a few months. They had a rocky road to their romance. There were also negative components affecting them adversely. A good story.
ONE MAGNIFICENT JOURNEY!!!

This is the second book I have read by Ella Edon. Regency Romance has not been my pick in romance books in the past. I wanted to try and read something just a little different. So I gave Ella Edon’s books a try.So happy I did. They hold my hold my interest. I find I do not want to stop till finished and hate when I have to stop and come back to read. So needless to say I hurry with whatever to get done, so I can come back to finish it. I find myself falling asleep with my book in my hand or at least in my bed in the morning while not wanting to stop. Very well written and I promise you, it will hold your interest. While reading “Healing The Broken Marchioness,” Arthur made me fall in love with him! If you have never read any of Ella Edon’s, why not try this one now. I do not think you will be disappointed at all…..
