The Marquis She's Been Waiting For by Ella Quinn

Alexander Endicott is on his Grand Tour in Italy when he learns his father has died.  When he returns to London, he is in for a bigger shock.  His mother married the estate steward shortly after he inherited his uncle's title and they went to Scotland, abandoning his younger sisters.  Luckily, Lady Dorcus Calthorp, daughter of the Marquis of Huntington, stepped in and helped run the household.

Lady Dorie had loved and lost during her first Season.  She is holding out for a gentleman that she can love.  Alex has decided that Dorie is perfect for him.  Dorie is doing her best to keep helping Alex while finding him the perfect wife.

While Dorie starts to tutor him in his duties, he longs to make a match with her.  Will Alex get his HEA?

I enjoyed the slower pace of this book.  Dorie was a strong character.  I really liked her.  Alex was just trying to figure out what end was up.  He needed a strong woman backing him.  I really liked the characters and how characters from the previous books made "guest appearances".

How to Cross a Marquess by Jane Ashford

Roger Berwick, Marquess of Chatton, has known his neighbor Fenella Fairclough all of their lives.  Ten years ago, their parents attempted to arrange a marriage between them and they refused to get married.  Now, they are thrown together and the sparks start to fly.

I liked this Regency novel.  Roger was a spoiled and bratty heir until he had to mature.  Fenella was belittled by her father and escaped to her grandmother's estate.  Her grandmother helped her grow a backbone.  The story was engaging and the characters were fun.

How To Love A Duke in Ten Days by Kerrigan Byrne

I have loved Kerrigan Byrne's books since her first book.  This book is no different.  I will admit that the opening could be a huge trigger for some people, but it is a necessary part of the novel because it defines who Alex is. 

This book is a powerful romance.  I loved Alex and Piers and how they found their true love.  I can't wait for the next books in this series!!
