Yet another great book in this series! I enjoyed the growth off Broderick & Reggie. I wish to have seen more punishment to the evil person in Reggie’s past. Guess that makes me bloodthirsty!! Also, an interaction between Broderick’s Duke of his early years, and if he was ever forgiven, or still held responsible for the sins of others.

Look forward to Gertrude’s book and challenges she might may face!!

I am quite familiar with this author and have read several of her novels. Some have been hit or miss. This one was pleasantly good. I admired Regina's strength and determination to forge her own destiny outside of the hero's club. She has good reasons to leave and I was hoping the hero would understand sooner than he did. His determination to force Regina to comply with his demands forced a rift in their sweet friendship but I also think it forced him to truly see Regina for who she truly was. And that fire that burned between them grew and spread to real love. Both are good people at heart in spite of their circumstances. Too often these novels are written where the heroine is of lower class and anxious to make a match with a Duke. But here we have a couple of lower class making a difference within their communities.
Very well done and moving scenes. I'm glad the hero finally opened his eyes.
Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
