What is this book about?

Lady Charlotte Featherington is destined for great things on the marriage market. After all, as the beautiful daughter of a marquess, she should have her pick of the eligible nobility when she debuts. She, however, has love at the top of her list of marriageable attributes. And her romantic heart falls hard for one particularly dashing, attentive suitor. Sadly for Charlotte, her noble father intends her betrothed to be someone far more dull.

William Hartwell may be a duke, but he knows he was Charlotte’s father’s pick, not the young lady’s own choice. And the captivating Lady Charlotte does not strike him as a woman who will be wooed by his wealth or title. While she has captured his heart, he has no idea how to win hers in return–and the betrayal and scandal his first wife put him through makes it difficult for him to believe that love can ever be trusted. His only hope is that Charlotte’s sense of responsibility will win out over her romantic notions.

Can a widowed duke and a romantically inclined lady negotiate a future and discover love beyond duty? Will they be able to find healing and hope from the legacy of grace?

My review:

This was a slow burning sweet romance. I had mixed emotions about Charlotte at first as she seemed very flighty, however once she started maturing, I warmed up to her. William had my support from the very start with his caring nature. Even though Charlotte thought he was old and dull, I was glad when she realized her misjudgment of him. The story was slow at the beginning and some secondary characters were a little over the top, but I did like Charlotte’s faith journey and the happily ever after.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Sweet romance

What I didn’t like about this book:

Slow beginning

Would I recommend this book to others? Yes. Sweet romance, some interesting characters, and a nice faith journey. This is the second book in the series. It can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the first book in order to fully appreciate the secondary characters.
