Too many Dukes.
Note to historical romance authors: not everyone needs to be a Duke or a Duke's daughter. I don't think there are as many Dukes in England as there are in this book. Like some spices, to be used sparingly.
Anachronisms everywhere.
The anachronisms flew right and left. I doubt many debutantes in Regency England called the Duke with a bad rep with the ladies, "bad news". It sounded like something out of Goodfellas.
He would be called something more like catch of the year. Then there is our weepy heroine's fiancee excusing his bad behavior in the garden with another woman because his fiancee wouldn't put out. This is the same girl he grew up with as fast family friends, but now treats like dirt? I could have bought it if it was an arranged marriage but not someone you've been friends with all your life. She, of course, takes the brunt of the broken engagement where everyone assumes she did something wrong. She's too busy moping to correct the mistaken assumption.
If you are going to write a historical romance or novel, you have to do more than just say it's written in whatever year. On top of that, the heroine is dressed in what looks like a Victorian dress on the cover.
Heroine
The heroine. She's the biggest wet blanket ever. She cries about her fiancee cheating on her more because he broke off the engagement then because he is a gross, underhanded, taunting cheater. Hey, what's not to love.
When the Hero, another Duke - the Duke of York no less, offers to be a pretend suitor to help her get back the cheater she jumps on it so she can get nasty Nicholas back.
Hero is a rake?
The hero has a bad rep and is supposed to be a soulless evil and devious creature according to the blurb, his mother, the Ton, the cryer's best friend, etc but all I saw was a soon to be ex-rake lose some brain cells as he falls for the cryer. He's not even mischievous.
The cryer gets the cheater back, but then changes her mind and ugh.

Disjointed
8% in and I gave up. It's all in bits and pieces. The language is also all over the place..to such an extent I assumed English was not the authors first language. Needs a rewrite and an editor

Wow, not in a good way
From malapropisms (debutante and debut are not the same) to anachronistic dialog to a heroine who comes across as an utter milquetoast, this story has nothing to recommend it. The author needs an editor familiar with Recency historical as well as good storytelling and grammar.

Needs a copy editor badly
The word is debut not debutante. A young lady has her debut. You hope to marry not hope on marrying. Your characters were interesting but the bad grammar detracts from the story.

DNF early on.
Badly formatted, clunky writing and no sense of the era. Do some research! Learn to format!

Annoying at best
To many grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, weird segues. Spent more time being annoyed at author and editor than trying to follow plot

Lady Esther is an upstanding member of society who was grievously disappointed by her betrothed. Duke Stefan is a scoundrel, womanizer, scandalous, devious, and unmindful of any hurts he leaves in his carefree wake. When Stefan rescues Esther they begin to learn a bit about each other and Stefan commits to helping Esther win back the man that abandoned her through a scheme to generate jealousy in the once betrothed.
Their scheme is not straightforward nor is it guaranteed to succeed. In fact, it is guaranteed to raise multiple difficulties. As Esther and Stefan work together they each develop feelings toward each other. But neither of them understands themselves well enough to immediately recognize the mutual attraction. It's a journey in character development and self-realization that will be necessary if they are ever to get together.
As the walls between our two main characters crumble and they begin to move closer, society will not gleefully accept them.
It's the ups and downs and the characters' changes, sometimes helped and sometimes hindered by the supporting cast that kept me turning pages past my bedtime.
I believe that never have I ever read a better Regency Romance novel.

Lady Esther was at a ball with her friends Katherine and Anne. It was a wedding ball, an extravagant affair with many guests. It was time for a waltz and her beau, Nicholas, was somewhere around. She went to seek him, wanting him to waltz with her. However, when she found him, he was with another lady who was in a state of partial undress. They were trysting in a hidden spot in the garden. Feeling angry, she ran away from him and he went into the gathering and told her quite definitely that the engagement was off. That event set in motion a series of events leading to true love. It is a marvelous tale of misunderstandings, twists and turns, love and fear, understanding and confusion. A real page turner. It is a wonderful story that will make you feel happy, sad, hopeful, disappointed in people, and relief. I guarantee you will cry at one point or maybe two. The tale begins with an accidental fall into a river by the Lady Esther. She is saved by the Duke of York who happened to see her fall except that he thought it may have been done on purpose. There was a little bit of attraction between the two of them and the Duke kissed her. From that point on you just have to read this wonderful story. I loved every moment of it. I am sure you will too!

Mischief to love
Esther is shocked that her beloved is screwing someone else. Normally all polite, kind, and shy, Rather is now sad and withdrawn. She does not understand why it would happen. So chiding now to focus on the orphanage for comfort.
Stefan, Duke of York, is a notorious Rake. He lives all women. All he wants us to not have only One. Until he meets Esther. Seeing her so sad reminds him of his sister Agnes. If there was anything he could have done for Agnes he would gave, but since he can't, he will for Esther.
Stefan proposes a way for Esther to get her ex back if that is TRULY what she wants. So the games courting begins. Starting off slow and building to more makes for complications and deeper feelings to arise.
As things start to work one way or become a apparent that you want the opposite. When these two finally talk and deal with what is happening is when you get your first "about time" cheer.
Lord Milford needs a kick in the pants but is a needed villain for this story.
I will say the extended epilogue will leave you going...HUH???? I would not recommend reading it.

I haven’t seen writing this childish since peer reviewing papers in eighth grade. But don’t take my word for it—here are some excerpts from the 5% of the book I made it through.
“Theirs was a true love! Even someone who stood miles away could see it. Esther sighed again at their bliss. Not in a jealous way, but in a romantic way.”
“They were going to get married, and they were going to look into each other’s eyes, just the way her friend and her new husband were doing at this moment.”
“Being of an unassuming character, Esther kept her steps light to avert an echo on the polished stone footpath and, of course, she would never have thought to have called out Nicholas’ name. That would have been too assertive for someone of her timid nature.”
“And her debutante is a year away, not days away.”
[I don’t think that word means what you think it does.]
“‘I suggest you stop sleeping around and settle for one. I will have no more word of you spending the night with any random woman[sic]. If word gets to me, you won’t like what I will do.’”

I was okay with this novel, but not great. I liked the hero, Stefan Hamilton, the Duke of York. At least he was honest with himself about how he was perceived "by the ton," and what he knew himself to be and what he wanted. Whereas our heroine, Lady Esther Bowen, was somewhat dishonest with how she interacted with the Duke. Although she was very caring with the children of the orphanage that she helped and with her family, she seemed to always be playing a game when it came to the Duke. I didn't like this characteristic about her. And dear heavens, she and her parents took what "the ton" thought of her to such an exaggerated point, that it got a bit tedious. Also, the fact that she was "still in love" with the man that jilted her and was ready to do whatever needed doing to get him back was not to my liking either. But, all's well that ends well and at least Stefan had the good sense to see what he "finally" wanted and to go after it. Gave this 4 stars and probably should have only given it 3.5 if I could have. Story was fine, but pretty redundant.

It never ceases to amaze me the different ways a romance can be written. Ella Edon has accomplished just that, an amazing story about the complications, tribulations, heartache, internal warring, mixed emotions, confused feelings and the one desire, to be happy. This is a deep look at a three-way relationship. What I loved about it was how each character was psychologically and emotionally detailed from the outward facade to the inner person. This is a page turner and so realistic. It was so easy to relate to each of the characters. It is a beautiful story brilliantly written and filled with angst, fear and true love. This is a must read. I highly recommend it.

Hidden love
Truly a story of twisted love, that everyone doesn’t accept. Esther was hurt when her betrothed is caught in a compromising situation by her and her friends. When she leaves the ball in tears he tells everyone he broke their engagement. While volunteering at an orphanage she meets Stefan, the Duke of York and they start spending time together there. He says he will court her in order to make Nicholas jealous and come back to her. Of course things don’t necessarily work out like planned! Very good read, always like a happy ever after!!

I tried several times to finish this book but it was impossible. The writing is terrible. There is no flow to the book. It barely makes sense. For instance she breaks her engagement after catching her fiancé having sex with another. But after he announces that he broke the engagement she suddenly wants him back. Now a Duke is trying to help her get him back, but she won’t associate with the Duke because he has a rakes lifestyle. All I could think was this was someone’s first book published without an editor.

Overall I had fun with the story. I liked the 2 main characters and how their love story progressed. it was a little slow at times and sometimes things are mentioned in the book which made me confused and unsure what time period this was set in but it didn't stop me from enjoying the book.
The cons: there were times where phrases and words were used that didn't fit the time period and took me out of the story.
There was a lot of grammatical errors also that seemed to get worse toward the end where it meant i had to read passages again to decipher what was missing.

Nice try
I was sorely disappointed in this book. I don't like to give bad reviews but I feel that others should be apprised of the lack of sentence structure, misspelled words, and the improper use of modern day words as opposed to the words that would be used in the time frame that the author would have you believe it was occurring. Where was the editor or at the very least a proofreader?
The story had promise but it truly failed to deliver.

Very sweet story
I really enjoyed this book, I could barely put it down. I really liked Esther, although sometimes I felt that she was stubborn regarding Nicolas. And I loved the Duke! How he comes to realise that he loves her made this a nice read.
There are some space-time mistakes but if you overlook them you can really enjoy this story, if you prefer more accurate historical romances perhaps this will bother you.

The book had potential, but I considered not finishing it more than once. The author needs an editor and a better grasp of how things were done in the regency period.
But the worst was in fact the writing. Not the style but the actual grammar. It was cringe worthy. Distracting, embarrassing, and the actual reason I didn’t want to keep going

Long and boring
This book was long and boring. Was filled with unnecessary words and scenes that added no real value to the story. The sex scenes at the end were tacked on to create "romance" I guess. Plus, the writing style and spacing in the book leaves much to be desired. I forced myself to finish.

A Wonderful Story
This was truly a wonder love story about Esther and Stefan and how following your heart you can find true love. I loved the characters and the story itself. I loved epilogue and the extended epilogue because I did want to know what happened. The author did a very good job and I recommend this book.

Very descriptive and detailed storyline, easy enough to follow though. I was disappointed in some cases of the wrong word tense used in some instances throughout the novel; somewhat of a distraction for me. The storyline was excellent, so I gave four stars. Thank you.

Too long for not much
I really wanted to enjoy this tale. It took to long to develop and then it felt rushed; the happy ever after part. The love scene felt weird and uncomfortable. It was painful to read.
