What is this book about?

A widow at just 30 years of age, Rose Finlay is determined to put all ideas of marriage and family behind her and pursue an independent life. But when she notices a young woman about to be led astray by a roguish aristocrat, bitter memories from her past arise, and she feels compelled to intervene. The unintended consequences of her efforts will ultimately force Rose to reexamine her life in a new light.

As the overseer of his two widowed sisters’ financial and domestic affairs, John Milburn carries heavy responsibilities for a single man. But he’s faced with his biggest challenge when his headstrong niece falls prey to the attentions of a powerful man who could ruin both her and her family.

When Rose and John join forces to protect his niece, they put everything they hold dear—including their growing attraction—in jeopardy.

My review:

I liked Rose from the moment I met her in book one of this series. Her sensible attitude along with her kind heart made me root for her to find love after suffering the wrong side of love in her previous marriage. John was such a great match for her not only in intellect but also in loyalty for the people they loved. With Rose’s reluctance to get involved romantically, I really enjoyed how John pursued her. This was my favorite book in the series.

What I enjoyed most about this book:

Character of Rose and John

What I didn’t like about this book:

Nothing

Would I recommend this book to others?  Yes. Sweet romance, genuine conflict, and wonderful characters. This is the third book in the series and it can be read as a standalone but we catch up with the previous book characters so there might be spoilers if read out of order.

Note: I received this book complimentary in a giveaway. I was not required to give a review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are honest and my own.
