I loved reading this because the time line coincides with the previous book “One Wild Dawn”. There is a continuation of the same characters and the focus is on one of the nine sisters. This book focused on Bernadette/Bernie Marsden and Tiberius James Evander, Earl of Chester aka Chester. Bernie and Chester experience true love together. The story covers the prejudice and self-righteousness of Chester’s parents and the poor humble beginnings of Bernie’s family. There are so many problems to overcome before they can be together. At first Chester is torn between his love for Bernie and his love and devotion to his parents. His parents refuse to accept Bernie and do the unthinkable to keep them apart. When Bernie’s and Chester’s lives are threatened, as the saying goes cream rises to the top or trial by fire. The result is bound to be more rewarding than the circumstance that brought it about. A lovely story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This was a fun Regency romance with great characters, romance and intrigue. Bernie is the second of nine sisters who are impoverished but are protected by a neighbor friend. They are all invited to a house party to find husbands for the sisters. However, Chester, the friend, is in love with Bernie and they both finally realized it. His parents are against her since she isn’t rich and try to marry her off to someone else or ruin her sisters. There is a lot of intrigue, but a HEA.

The Earl of Chester and Bernadette Marsden are neighbors and best friends, but he doesn’t see her anything more until she has suitors a house party. Chester has to deal with scandals in her family, his parents who don’t want them to marry and will stop at nothing to make that happen including trying to force a betrothal between Bernie and a money grubbing scoundrel, and an attempted kidnapping by that scoundrel. Bernie was tough defending her family and herself from the scoundrel Rupert. There was a lot of humor, suspense, and romance in this best friends to lovers novel. I can’t wait to read the rest of Bernie’s sisters’ romances.
Bernadette Marsden was learning from her friend, Lord Chester, how to make a blade of grass whistle! They looked down on Selbourne Castle, where Bernie would spend two weeks at a House Party to see if she could meet a gentleman in the hopes of a proposal. Bernie was one of nine sisters and, without a brother to inherit her father’s estate, she needs to marry for the protection of her sisters, even if she does not find actual love.
Lord Tiberius Evander, Earl of Chester, was a neighbor and acted as the Marsden sisters’ brother since they didn’t have done. He has been feeling things for Bernie lately, and she seems to also get a fluttery feeling if he even touches her chin with his finger. Yet neither has acted on this. His family, however, becomes suspicious that they are too close and they set Bernie up for a scandal so she has to marry another man. Will Lord Chester allow this to happen? Is he willing to lose Bernie to someone else?
Lord Chester is an honorable man put in the awkward position of choosing between his family and the woman he loves. How can he make such a choice? This was such an enjoyable story! The characters were absolutely delightful. Bernie is headstrong and completely “unfiltered”. Lord Chester is the proper gentleman. Their dialog is fun and makes the story line flow smoothly. The reader will feel that despite their differences, these two were always meant to be together. Grab your copy of this wonderful book and share in the dilemma they are facing and the solution they find to their HEA.
ng one of nine sisters was not always easy, but Bernadette Marsden was determined to protect them as best she could! She wants to find love herself but it seems not to be. What she does not know is that it might be right in front of her!
Lord Tiberius, Earl of Chester has been friends with the Marsdens and a brother figure, but he had one specific sister he had feelings for and that was Bernie. She had also started to notice Chester more and more herself and they were not brotherly thoughts!
But Chester is heir to a strong and powerful family who are not thrilled with his attachment to the Marsdens and it seems he and Bernie are getting too close. What could they possibly do to pull them apart? Oh yes, devise a plan to compromise her with another man!!! They set in motion something does not quite turn out the way they wish!
What happens next? You will have to read to find out and trust me, you will not be able to put this one down until you turn the last page! I have just discovered this author with her first book in this series and I have to say, I cannot get enough of her writing! Cannot wait until more in this series publishes and see how all the sisters find their happy ever after!!

This is a delightful love story as childhood friends Bernie and Chester discover that their friendship goes so much deeper than either of them ever realized.

This is the 2nd book in The Northumberland Nine series and this time, the story is about Bernadette and Chester. We met them in book 1 and I was so anxious to read their story!! They have known each other since childhood and Chester has always assumed the role of “protector” to the 9 sisters. As adults, he soon realizes he’s jealous of anyone paying attention to Bernadette and in return, she gets tired of his “hovering” over her all the time, although she’s more aware of him as well. When they finally declare their love for each other, Chester is in a quandary because his parents will never agree to their marriage since they consider Bernadette below his station….he doesn’t want to lose his parents by going against their wishes but he doesn’t want to lose Bernie either. It doesn’t help that his parents were willing to pay a scoundrel to compromise her and insist on marrying her. Lots of excitement occurs and I couldn’t put the book down until I’d finished reading it!! Now I look forward to book 3 in the series!!!

One of nine untitled sisters with no brother to serve as heir and no fortune, known as the Northumberland Nine, Bernadette Marsden has determined she must marry to protect her younger sisters. She longs for real love but knows that is no longer an option for her.
Lord Tiberius Evander, Earl of Chester, has always been a friend and brother figure for the Marsden sisters, but lately he’s been having thoughts about Bernie that are far from brotherly. Bernie also happens to be noticing him more and more, although she tries to deny it.
Chester is heir to a marquesate and his powerful and very classist family, though loving towards him, disapproves of him earning his own money with investments and of his fondness for the Marsdens. But maintaining only friendship with Bernie is becoming more and more difficult for both of them.
When Chester’s family contrives a compromising situation for Bernie, Chester finds himself torn between his love and loyalty to his family, despite the shame he feels of them, and the woman he loves. Chester no longer recognizes he family he grew up with when his mother continues to force Bernie into a marriage, holding the threat of the ruination of her sisters over Bernie’s head. With help from friends, Bernie comes up with a plan to ensure Chester admits his true feelings, but it may not be enough to foil his meddlesome and snobbish parents.
It seems this book, or at least some of it, occurs in conjunction with the events of the first book in the series so now I want to read that one as well as the upcoming installments. Chester is one of those rare heroes who is truly a good man and Bernie is a strong and determined heroine without coming off as idiotic. Honorable Chester is torn between Bernie and his family but he knows he must fight for his love rather than settle for the cold relationship his parents have even if it means disappointing and disobeying them for the first time in his life.
I tore straight through this book and am now looking forward to reading about the other sisters. It was great to get a quick story with a couple so determined to be together and it was a very enjoyable read.

Bernadette “Bernie” has eight sisters. In a hurry to marry off, they are all attending a house party at the castle.
Chester, Tiberius James (props to the Star Trek nod) Evander is the Earl of Chester. He’s grown up with all nine sisters and he views them as family but sees Bernie as the flirt he must protect the most, though he does offer for her pregnant sister, Anne.
Smart, sassy, fun. Frank intimate communication is perfect.
Touch of spice.
Highly recommend.
Let’s hope that Bernie and Chester enjoy more than just two wicked nights.
