Third Husband's the Charm
Alternate cover edition can be found here
An irreverent gentleman, an abandoned wife, and a secret marriage. But is anything really what it seems?
Fun-loving Percy, the Captain Lord Granston, is everyone’s favorite cad. But his easy charm hides a dark secret. He’s plagued by nightmares and fears he’s losing his grip on reality. Then his wife arrives in London. The only problem is, he doesn’t remember marrying the woman.
Twice-widowed Finola Tenney Simmons has lost her hard-earned fortune. But she’s devised a scheme to reclaim it from her greedy stepson. All she needs is a pretend husband, with her old acquaintance Captain Granston playing the part. There’s just one complication. The captain inexplicably believes they’re actually married.
When Percy learns Finola isn’t his wife, he agrees to keep up the lie to secure her fortune, if she helps him settle his family affairs before he loses his mental faculties. But living as husband and wife leads them into temptation, and they devise a new plan. They’ll keep each other’s secrets, embark on a brief affair, and both get what they want before their fake marriage ends. It will work like a charm, as long as neither of them falls in love.

Nancy Yeager
12 books71 followersI spent my early years longing to be an English countryside vet thanks to James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small series, and an adventurist archaeologist like George Lucas's Indiana Jones character. After studying veterinary pre-med and earning an anthropology degree, I realized my true passion is story in all its forms.
When I'm not writing, reading, or binge-watching stories, I'm often pursuing a physical challenge like studying Krav Maga or aspiring to achieve the perfect crow pose. I also spends her time drinking too much coffee, not enough red wine, and just the right amount of bourbon.
I live in Maryland with my fabulous family, which includes some very spoiled rescue cats.

Captain Lord Percival Carlyle, the Earl of Granston, is known to be fun loving and happy go lucky, but his charming facade hides his fear that he is slowly losing his mind as his father did before him. So when a wife he doesn't remember marrying arrives in London, Percy is appalled but not disbelieving.
Finola Tenney Simmons has spent nine years in a marriage to a volatile man only to find herself now twice widowed and deprived of her share of the fortune she earned in an Argentinian silver mine with her late husband. Now her stepson has claimed her hard won assets for his own. Finola devises a plan to get back her fortune: she just needs a fake husband to do so and Captain Granston, who she met on a drunken night in Argentina, is perfect for the job. Only, Percy truly believes they're married, though Finola can't fathom why. Even stranger, while she insists on a divorce, he wishes to remain married.
When Percy learns the truth, he's furious at Finola's deception, but he comes to understand the position she was in and agrees to keep the charade if she helps him with his family, most especially his sister, Zinny, who has bonded with Finola. But with the physical attraction and genuine connection blooming between them, their marriage is likely to become more real than ever.
I was very unsure about this book at first because lying is such a huge issue for me. But poor Finola's situation was truly awful and when one removes 21st century glasses and sees how few options she truly had, her desperation becomes palpable and somewhat understandable. She grew on me the more time she spent with Percy and the more she stood by him and defended him. I loved Percy as a hero. Having seen my own grandfather deteriorate with Alzheimer's, Percy's description of his father's decline and his own fears hit home for me. Mental health is so important and this was such an ambitious topic to tackle and I think it was handled well. The love story between Percy and Finola wound up being beautiful despite its inauspicious beginning and I loved it.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Third Husband’s The Charm is book four in Harrow’s Finest Five series by Nancy Yeager. I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down. Captain Percival Carlyle, Earl of Granston is my favorite Yeager hero so far. He is witty and clever, handsome and debonair and yet so vulnerable and real. In all the other books Granston is at times the comedic relief, but in this book, we get to see his heart and the very real struggles that he faces and hides from his friends. Some twists and turns kept me glued to the page. I loved his attraction to the heroine Finola. “...he held out his hand to her. And when she glanced at his face, it was full of hope and kindness. And something more. His hooded eyes, his parted lips, his pulse jumping in his throat. The captain desired her after all. She stretched out her hand and twined her fingers in his. He moved slowly, languidly, to close the distance between them. He traced her cheekbone with his free hand, then ran a finger over her lips, watching her face with the intensity she remembered so well from the night they had met, the same heated gaze she had seen so often from him these past few days. It told her he noticed her, he saw her, and he didn’t want to stop looking at her. She didn’t know why she had doubted his desire for even a second. ‘Are you aware,’ he whispered in her ear, ‘that I’ve sailed two oceans and three seas and visited four continents, and you are the most exquisite woman I’ve ever seen?”
There are several very steamy scenes in this story. I can’t wait to read the next in the series.

I truly cannot read enough of Nancy's books. Each one has been everything I love in historical romance and in this one, I could only feel for Percy, Captain Lord Granston. What everyone in today's society fears, he thinks he is losing his mind, knows it is inevitable due to having happened to his father. On the ouside he is a charmer and easy going, but the inner turmoil is deep.
When Finola Tenney Simmons, a widow twice over comes and claims she is his wife, he thinks it could be true, but just cannot remember.
Of course Finola has a reason for deceiving the Captain. She needs help gaining back her lost fortune from her last husband's son. Having met Percy in the past she thought he could help her.
A story of deception, fears, secrets, strong emotions and a romance that builds and had me only wishing happiness for these two,
Prepare to be enthralled and not be able to stop once you have turned the first page. Nancy Yeager is quickly becoming one of my go to authors and I look forward to her next story and cannot wait to see what her imagination brings forth!

It took me a while to get into this book and I think the main reason was that Finola was lying to Percy Carlyle, Earl of Granston. I know she was quite desperate and was very concerned about her father but she caused unknown worry by her lies. Percy was worried that he might have inherited his father’s illness. He also has the problem of his sister Zinnia. She may have formed a romantic connection with someone unsuitable. Finola did help with Zinnia. This was an interesting read, Percy was lucky to have his good friends to help him. I received a copy and have voluntarily reviewed it. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4.8 stars; needs better proofreading
This is a wonderful story. The protagonists are quite fun to “watch” together as they flirt, develop feelings for each other, and try to sort through their secrets so they can have their HEA. There are a lot of secondary characters that appear throughout the book, which are likely to appear in other books in the series. The ones who are friends of Percy seem rather interesting, and his family members are quite likable, too. Percy is also quite likable for his sense of responsibility and care for his family and friends. Finola knows she’s made a mess of things with her lies, and she is willing to accept responsibility for her actions. She has gumption, passion, a sense of humor, loyalty; and in spite of her flaws, she definitely redeems herself. The setting details convey a sense of mood, add vividness to the scenes, and provide context for the characters’ behaviors. The plot pacing is well done and keeps the reader engaged.
There are a few frustrations with the text: numerous random errors indicate a need for better proofreading (dogs don’t have udders, little words are missing, a verb will be in the wrong tense, a pronoun will be for the wrong gender, etc.). The end wraps up a little too quickly. It would be better for the reader to see the antagonist get his punishment than to hear about it happening “off page.” Finola clasps her hands way too often, and Percy seems to drink a lot for a man who rarely drinks. There is mention of domestic abuse, bipolar disorder, gambling, alcoholism and substance abuse. The sex details are typical for steamier romance novels but the scenes are short in duration and infrequent.
I recommend this book to readers who are married as they will appreciate the humor and nonverbal nuances more.

I really enjoyed this book.
It is a breath of fresh air. The author drew me in and kept me engaged. The story is well paced. I laughed and cried. (Always a good sign.) The characters were all intelligent, they didnt do stupid far-fetched stuff. I ended up ordering the rest of the series as it seems the friends are just as smart. This was the first book of the series I read when it's actually 3rd in line, but it didn't matter with the story, and it made me curious to discover their stories. I had read some duds lately and was happy to find a winner. I also hate reviews that give away the story. Enjoy!

Well researched and set in South America and London, this was a different and emotional story. Percy, Captain Lord Granston, fears he has inherited the madness that took his father's life. Indeed, he cannot recall marrying Finola in South America and then abandoning her, but that is apparently what he did.
From this unusual beginning, we share the emotional journey as these two characters sort out nefarious schemes to rob Finola of her husband's estate and as Percy learns a great deal more about his past, and works to secure a real future with Finola.
Highly recommended.

A good story
I've only read this one book from the series but that certainly didn't detract from the story. There are mentions here and there to previous incidents from the other stories, but only in passing. Finola and Percy were very interesting characters, they come from very different backgrounds but have a lot in common. She grew up the daughter of a merchant who somehow makes her way to Argentina with husband #1. Percy is an Earl who captains ships. They meet the first time in Argentina and when Finola needs him to help she finds him in London.

Captivating
I found this book highly entertaining. The storyline was original and the characters were realistically imperfect but appealing. The dialogue was engaging. And especially, the plots and sub-plots were creative and clever. The only negative would be the numerous typos and grammatical errors, which were abundant. And there wasn’t TOO much graphic sex. Apart from that, it was a compelling and suspenseful read.

A faked marriage certificate leads to trouble
She convinced him they had married and he believed her because of his blackouts. Her 2nd husband's son is stealing her fortune and she needs the captains help. Good characters and interesting story.

Third Husband’s the Charm. By Nancy Yeager
This is the forth book in the series and it was so good! I got home from work tonight and got my comfortable clothes on and was ready to snuggle up with my book and then I remembered I finished this book last night! I was so disappointed! I just couldn’t help it! I flew through this book! I just loved all of the wonderful characters in this book. Finola and Percy make such an adorable couple.
Finola was married to a beast of a man who cheated on her and abused. When he died her life did not get any better! As a young widowed woman all alone in the 1800’s she had no rights to the wealth her and her husband accumulated before he died. She was erroneously jailed and accused of murdering her husband. She lost her money and her property. She had to think fast how can she turn this terrible life around. She remembered the night under the stars with the handsome Captain Perceval Carlyle, Earl of Granston. She decided to convince her friends that she and the captain were married. Her friends had partaken at the festivities and didn’t know what really happened.
Percy son of the former Earl of Granston. His father had lost his mind and Percy was afraid it was happening to him too. So when Finola came to London to find her missing husband he thought he really had married her.
This book has twists and turns and is really very exciting. I laughed and I cried. I cheered at the end. This was a great book and totally worth the read! I highly recommend this book to anyone!

Book #3 in the Harrow's Finest Five series, Third Husband's the Charm can be read without knowledge of the previous books.
Percy, the Captain Lord Granston, is nice and charming, despite the secret that threatens his health and future. He has no plans to get married, let alone having children, as a way to avoid passing on his secret disease. He's planning a new trip to South America when he's taken to the police station to meet his wife - a wife he had no idea existed!
Finola Simmons, twice a widow, is in big trouble. And the only person who could help her is the nice captain she'd met in Buenos Aires during Carnival. In order to be sure the captain would go along with her plan, Finola forges a marriage certificate and faces the man in London, expecting to tell him the truth asap. However, Captain Lord Granston ends up accepting their marriage, due to his disease, and Finola gets tangled in a web of lies.
I enjoyed reading this book, but it took me some time to warm to Finola, because of her lies. However, as the story develops, we can see she's a nice person - a little naive, but lucky for having met another good soul in Percy.
This was my first book by Ms. Yeager and I can't wait to catch up with this series.
I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Oh, What a Tangled Web We Weave
What a very different historical romance! It's quite a complicated tale, so I can't really do it justice in the short space of a review. Suffice to say that the heroine is very strong-willed and has devised a rather creative plan to help get her due in a system that is definitely set up against women. She needs a man to make it work, and the man she chooses, poor Percy, believes that he is losing his mind like his father before him. In fact, he believes her when she tells him that they married, even though he has no memory of it. These are both fascinating and complex characters, and what begins as a sham marriage instigated by the heroine to help her dire circumstances becomes a true one of good-hearted, deserving people. I quite enjoyed the interactions between the family members and the couple as well. The heroine didn't know what she was getting involved in when she set up her plan! A very good historical romance read.

Twice-widowed Finola Tenney Simmons has lost her hard-earned fortune. But she’s devised a scheme to reclaim it from her greedy stepson.All Finola needs is a pretend husband. Unfortunately or possibly fortunately she chooses a man she met briefly, fun-loving Percy, the Captain Lord Granston.
Percy only remembers bits and pieces of his supposed wedding night and truly believes they are married. Although he learns the truth he still agrees to help her.
Can this ruse and pretend marriage lead to true love for this pair?
I can't seem to get enough of Nancy Yeager's books. This series has sucked me in and just will not let go.
I gave this latest of the Harrow's Finest Series 4.8 of 5.0 stars for story line and characterization. These books just keep getting better.

Captain Lord Percival Carlyle, the Earl of Granston thinks he is losing his mind like his father before him when a wife that he does not remember shows up asking for his help. Fiona needs help after her first husband dies and his partners in a mine in Argentina take over and leaves her with nothing. This is a wonderful book with a unique plot and characters that were interesting and very likable.

An entertaining read.
Now, this little gem was such an entertaining read. The book opens with Percy having a bit of a problem not that he is the only one no so does Finola. Guess what Percy problem is Finola. This book is full of deception, drama, high emotions all mixed into a story of a man who is fearing he will have the same problem his father has and falling in love with a person who was forced to lie. The author took on some serious issues and did a grand job. I have high praise for this one how you check it out. I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.

Hilarious and outstanding! I remembered this book long after the last page was turned! A gentleman who thinks he is loosing his mind! A desperate widow interfering family and relatives! Finola has a greedy stepson and not a penny to her name she previously struck up flirtation with Percy how hard can it be to convince him they got married? Percy is plagued by nightmares and is convinced this might save him when he has to leave the family as the nightmares consume him! Finola realizes that there is so much more to Percy then meets the eye! Can these 2 make a match of it? They just might put aside their shenanigans and fall deeply in love!

Nancy has excelled in this book.
Whilst I had a few laughs, I also had tears.
Nancy has approached the subject with sensitivity.
Each of the main characters have secrets they do not wish to share.
Each needs to support and help each other,
Eventually they find true happiness. .
PLEASE read the authors blurb.
I really enjoyed this book.
It was so well written.
THANK.YOU, NANCY.
Thank you for your review.

Finola’s second husband was dastardly tricking her into marry him for money and his son was even worse with his selfish evil ways. I could understand why she would try to use a man she formed a connection with to try to save some of her inheritance. Percy had moments he couldn’t remember and at times thought he was going crazy, so he accepted that he married Finola without question and beat himself for leaving her vulnerable to the dastardly Lord Pembroke. I loved his sisters especially Zinnia and her rescue dog Howard. I can’t wait to see if they find men worth of them too.

Lies, deception, treachery, heartache and madness run rampant through this story in a most intriguing way. It is so well written and easily imaginable, that the reader slips seamlessly into Finola and Percy’s world. It is an easy read, but not a short one, so carve out some time and enjoy!

Third Husbands’ the Charm by Nancy Yeager. This is a new author to me, and I thought she did a great job keeping you vested in the story and outcomes. This book was filled with plenty drama, personal conflicts and charming characters. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Great characters. A wonderful addition to the series.
Both have secrets they are hiding, but both find their burdens are more easily carried when the two share them.
Their partnership grew steadily, making the romance believable.
It was great to see the friends all rally around their newest member with no thought to station or past. "You're one of us now."

Book three in the Harrow’s Finest Five Series a well written story that kept me turning pages. Captain Lord Granston Percy and twice widowed Finola Tenney Simmons's story has secrets they hid from each other. I enjoyed watching their story come together.

If you like something different from the usual regency romances this is definitely the book for you..A complicated story which took a little while to get my head round but when I did I was hooked. The plot and the twists and turns in the story were riveting. Definitely not to be missed.
