Unknowingly pursuing her destiny, Margaret graduated with distinction from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature.

By god this story is dull. Barely anything happens, we are stuck in one boring farm house for ages, there are subplots that go nowhere and there is literally NO SPICE!!!
It might be good if you like a SUPER basic romance stories.

O último livro da trilogia Most Unsuitable Men traz a história de redenção de Elliot.
Após sofrer um acidente, Elliot tem sua crueldade posta em cheque ao pensar que ia morrer. Mas, ao ser resgatado por Grace, ele termina rodeado por uma família que nunca ouviu falar dele, e portanto, não tem quaisquer expectativas de comportamento... ocasião para tentar mudar e melhorar.
Obviamente, as melhores partes são aquelas em que Elliot esquece de tentar ser alguém melhor.

A different twist to the usual historical romance. That kept me interested. A clean romance book. No descriptive sex scenes.
This isn't about the book, but my 12 year old son asked what a Rogue was, lol.

England 1868; Being the second son of the fifth Duke of Barroughby, Lord Elliot Fitzwalter was a known rogue (Oxford American Dictionary: rogue; a dishonest or unprincipled person), especially after his half brother stopped covering for him. Running from his problems had been his way all along, a gamble gone wrong was no exception. When a tree got the better of him, Grace Barton found him passed out drunk and now horseless on the side of the road in the rain. Risking her and her sisters reputation, they allowed this stranger to stay, and recover all the while trying to figure out how to deal with problems of their own. Grace was amazing to watch, like his own brother, she was protective and controlling and for the first time in Elliots life, her realized that those traits could also mean love. Had his brother Adrian done all out of care and concern? The realization struck him, as did the fact that in front of him may be a way to make up for some of the horrible things he had done in the past. Could he ever make up for enough to be equal to this farm girl who single handedly saved him from more than just death in that muddy road?
A typical bad boy turn good by the care of the right women. Most of the story is told as what they are each thinking and feeling, but not saying and doing. An emotional look at the contrast of siblings and they way that actions and words can be interpreted. Emotional twists Margaret Moore does so well, a very enjoyable series, best if read in order because of the connection to brother Adrian and Hester from ’The Dark Duke’, this is an older Harlequin Historical (1997) that I dug out to re-read.

the most unlikely hero, too good looking, womanizing, gambling, who falls in love with a virtuous woman and is overcome by desire to change for the better to become worthy of her
