Max married Giselle thinking he was sheltering her from the pain of society, since he wasn’t able to save his sister. Little did he know that the woman he married didn’t need saving from society, but she did need his protection. Covered with the marks of her kidnapping in India, returning to England gave Giselle no choice but to face her fears. When small accidents start to happen, she starts to think maybe her sister-in-law didn’t kill herself. If only Max would understand he wasn’t always right. Some interesting secondary characters, a captivating who done it and a good love story.
A great read!
Different and a rather refreshing piece.
Lady Giselle Braveton story was so good I felt for both her and Lord Maxwell (Max) Sutton the challenges these two had to face were written so well. This one had some elements I did not expect and that made this a rather refreshing read. There was danger, intrigue, and grand evil within the pages of this tale. This is excellent book that I hope you pickup. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
Marked for Love is the third book in the Improper Wives for Proper Lords series. I loved this historical romance and found it to be a captivating read. The characters are well developed and the storyline is well written and engaging, with a marriage of convenience, danger, evil, and a possible love match.
This is the first book I have read by this author and I am looking forward to reading more.
I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.
Book three in the Improper Wives for Proper Lords series a well written book that kept me turning pages. Lady Giselle Braveton had so much to go through, I do not think she would have made it if Jarrid had not been close. Lord Maxwell (Max) Sutton marries her and they have a hard time because of someone who is very evil. I enjoyed reading this book. I want to read more in this series.

Don’t Miss This One!
Giselle is ‘Marked for Love’ but I never would of guessed how!
Max is tortured by his sister’s suicide.
This is the most unusual and fascinating story which I have read in … oh, forever. It is absolutely brilliant and just when one thinks, “well, that was a good story”, something else happens and off we go again.
It just has to be read! Most definitely!
I was gifted a copy of this story and my voluntary review is recorded above.
This author was a first for me. I enjoy a book with a different or unique twist. Something that makes a character stand out. For this one, was the fact that our heroine was tattooed, albeit unwillingly, but here was the ‘thing’ that caught my attention. The book started off great and strong but as it went on, fell a little flat and I felt I was left hanging at the end. There were a few occasions where an ‘A’ name character was mixed up with another ‘A’ name character, that drove me nuts and then the names of some of the characters were a little too modern for the time period the book was set in and that made it seem off to me. I did enjoy how the author used the tattoos were a symbol of something else to the Hero and would have like to see this part be explored a little more as I felt I was given half a painting by the end of the book. Overall, it was enjoyable but an epilogue would have been nice.
