Jacob Ashland is a successful barrister and amateur sleuth. He has unexpectedly inherited the title of Earl of Ashland. Before the Ton is aware he is an Earl, the guardian of Charlotte Morris begs him to find her missing niece.
Charlotte has run away from her cruel aunt's house in fear. When her maid disappeared, she started to suspect her cousin. Now, Charlotte is living in the Rookery fighting to survive. After Jacob saves her in the streets, Charlotte starts to realize that he may be the one person that can save her.
Jacob has been married before and lost his wife and newborn son in childbed fever. He has sworn not to marry again. Charlotte brings out his protective instincts and he offers her a marriage in name only. Before long, Charlotte finds herself falling in love with her husband and fearing her secret can destroy them.
This was such a well-written book! I loved the characters. Charlotte was such a strong young woman. Jacob was the tragic hero needing the perfect heroine to save him from the darkness in his life. I liked the murder-mystery subplot.

A Lady's Virtue by A.S. Fenichel
Sylvia Dowder is a strong woman. She was engaged to a man she thought she loved when he unexpectedly became a viscount and broke their engagement for a more "suitable" match to his new station. Sylvia became an employee of the Everton Domestic Society to maintain her independence and dignity. She vows never to fall for a titled man again.
Anthony Braighton was raised in America. After he unexpectedly inherited the title of Earl of Grafton, his mother and aunt are insisting that he needed to get married. Anthony is determined to remain single so he hires the Everton Domestic Society to provide a hostess and decorator for his upcoming parties.
Once Anthony meets Sylvia, he is captivated. She is smart and beautiful and determined to ignore the attraction between them. Anthony is determined that he has met his match in this Everton Lady.
Once I sat down to read this book, I did not stop. I liked Sylvia. She was a strong, wonderful heroine. Anthony was the perfect hero. I liked that he was an American and attempting to figure out the details of London society. The supporting characters were great. I felt bad for Syliva's twin living with their almost neglectful parents.

The Duke of Distraction by Darcy Burke
Felix Havers, Earl of Ware, never wanted to get married or fall in love because of what he went through with his uncle. He is only interested in fun and lighthearted entertainment. His best friend's father suggests Felix marry his daughter. Both Felix and Sarah are shocked and announce they do not want to marry.
Sarah Colton is a wallflower, firmly on the shelf. She wants to open a millinery shop and live her own life. Her parents discover her plans and tell her if she doesn't find a husband on her own, they will find one for her. When tragedy strikes, will they be able to heal each other?
This was such a well-written book. I really liked Sarah's determination to live her life the way she wanted it. She was a strong-willed character. Felix was much more than the shallow person he let the public see. He was afraid of falling in love due to what he saw in his youth. I liked how Sarah helped him heal.

Lady Notorious by Theresa Romain
I liked reading a book where the heroine is a smart woman that is independent in a time when women were dependent on the men in their lives. Cassandra had to struggle to make something of herself. She is working with George, Lord Northbrook. As they work together to stop a plot to kill his father, they become friends and slowly evolve into lovers. I liked George and how he looked beyond class to see the woman.
This was a great HEA.

Escaping His Grace by Kristin Vayden
This is the second book in the series. I enjoyed reading this book. Miranda does not want a loveless marriage so, with her sister's help, she becomes the governess for Heathcliff Marston.
I liked the characters and felt bad that Miranda had to go to such lengths to escape her own father's tyranny. Heathcliff was a great hero. He is a strong character that deserved a second chance at a HEA.
