A Regency Holiday Romance #6
His Michaelmas Mistress
A lost son…and a desperate bride….
Frederick ‘Mouse’ Merriweather, Baron Axbridge was raised in the slums of London, England. Seeking to better himself, he enlisted in the Army as a callow youth, and saw action in the Napoleonic Wars. Recruited to be a member of Colonel Elliot’s specialized group, The Angels of Death, he forged friendships with those men that would never die, and was ennobled as a reward for completing a daring rescue mission. When he fell in love with Lady Julia Lovett, he thought he finally had everything he wanted in life—until the man she’d loved so many years before walked into the church and objected to their wedding.
Lady Julia Lovett’s heart belongs to Freddie. But no matter how much she tries to convince Freddie that the man she once loved, Lord Charles Tempest means nothing to her now, he won’t believe her, as he doesn’t think a gutter rat like him is good enough for a noblewoman like her. So, there’s only one thing left for Julia to do…she will risk all to prove her love to Freddie—even if it means ruining her reputation.
Secrets are about to be exposed concerning Freddie’s past—and Julia and Freddie will find that as long as they are together, they can face anything.

It was good
I can't really say this was my favorite Marley Mathews book. Overall, it seemed rushed and lacking the romance we have read in the other books. The plot and characters were engaging, which made the reading easy. The plot twist came in early in the book, which made the book seem longer then it actually was. I give this book a four star rating...even though, it's more like a 3.5.

did-not-finish
November 17, 2015Not a fan of this author's writing style. Characters give long-winded speeches at each other instead of talking back and forth in a more natural way. This book also needed a good proof-reading! Example: "H wanted to draw his cork..." I think you mean HE wanted to draw his cork? Did no one even run a basic spell-check?
I'm a sucker for a holiday-themed romance. Glad I only spent 99c on this.

Nice!!!
Loved the twists and plots with the story of mouses lecturing out to be such a good thing. Love the way she has ended this book leading up to the next as all her previously ones I have read

This book was "slog"
I finally finished this book but it was painful!!! There was so much unnecessary dialog and unnecessary people. Three stars was a gift.
