DNF at 70%. I tried. It’s just So. Damn. Tedious. This book is molasses. Everything is written with so much extra detail that the reader didn’t need.
She poured him tea and gave him the cup:
“Her fingers just brushed his in the exchange, and he could not help but notice that her skin was soft, the nail beds of her fingers were a healthy pink, and her nails were short and well-tended.”
That’s quite a lot for a man to notice in a 0.5 second tea cup grab. I’m all for a well built world if it’s fantasy, but no one needs to know how healthy her nails are in regency England.
The whole book is like this. Conversations that read for many pages, how thrifty she is until you’re sick of it, an entire chapter from the guy who ruined her dress on purpose in the beginning. Enough already!

How a young lady was wronged by one man but found love with another.
Hanna, you just amaze me with another of your fabulous story that you so well create. I love this story. The storyline is intriguing with well placed twists and turns. The characters were bold , vulnerable and very impressive whether they were the heroes or villains.

Pretty good read
I liked the Earl (Chase) and Roslyn the best! Also, the sweet cook and butler. I was surprised how many people the Earl shared private info with, on what an ogre his father was. I thought gentlemen had more discretion back then.
I'm so glad it ended on a happy note

A little slow
The story developed slowly and it didn't have much of a middle before you are thrown into an unbelievable, whirlwind ending. Rosalyn was so worried about her future throughout the book. The father should have at least hinted at a possible change in their circumstances, especially since Rosalyn mentioned her worries often throughout the story.

Great read!
A very well written love story. I have no idea why Chase's friend, Anthony, was so wicked destroying lives for his amusement. I'm so glad love finally found a way.

It offered an extended epilogue I could not get it no matter how hard I tried. So I am not giving a review.

Lovely Story
I loved how Rosalyn and Chase met and how their story unfolded.
I hope he met up with Mr. Powell and knocked his out, what a stinker. A very enjoyable story.
