I have loved all of the stories in the Whickerton series and this was no exception. Beatrice, pregnant and abandoned by the man she loved, is being forced into an arranged marriage to stave off the scandal of being pregnant and unmarried. Charles, even knowing she's pregnant by another, falls hard and fast for Beatrice. Not caring about her situation, he does everything he can to be the one who will take care of them both. I highly recommend this book as well as the previous in the series.
Once Upon a Not at All Innocent Kiss (A Whickertons in Love Novella). This is the story of how the parents of the Whickerton's came to be married. This definitely gave some insight into Troy their oldest son's story that was in Once Upon an Accidentally Bewitching Kiss. Beatrice Hartley found herself pregnant by a horrible rake who had no intention of marrying her. Her parents planned to protect all of their reputations by marrying her to one of her father's friends. When she met the gentleman, she could sense his disapproval of her and she knew the marriage would be somewhat difficult. When she is crying in despair- a gentleman Charles Beaumont, Viscount Hawthorne steps in with an offer of marriage. Will she decide to follow her parents plans or allow Lady Whickerton (Grandma Edie and the mother of Charles) to arrange an elopement with her son?
I loved finding out how the parents of all the Whickerton children came to be together.
This was a sweet story.
I received a copy of this book form the author and this is my honest unbiased review.
Another lovely story by the talented Charlie Lane! The novella is filled with charm and romance and kept me captivated all the way through. Georgiana is an heiress and loves her independence and the thing she hates most is fortune hunters. In an effort to keep them at bay, she forms an unlikely partnership with her friend's brother-in-law, Josiah. Josiah is rarely in London and a fake courtship with him is the perfect solution to keep the fortune hunters away and also keep her independence. Josiah has no time to marry and is too busy managing his father's estates. He has no problem lending a helping hand to the lovely Georgiana when he finds himself back in London. Both are set on their own paths in life, however, they begin to realize it's a very lonely journey. What started out as a unique friendship and an effort to help each other turned into something so much more.
I absolutely loved the story of Josiah and Georgiana. They had such wonderful chemistry which was evident in the witty banter between them which was an absolute delight to read. A truly lovely addition to the Dare series!
I received a complimentary copy from Wolf Publishing and am voluntarily leaving my review.
The Whickertons fall fast and hard. Charles knows when he meets Beatrice he knows she's the one. Even though she is pregnant by someone else he steps right up to take care of them. She can't help but fallmin love with him.
When Charles Beaument, Lord Hawthorne, eldest son of Lord and Lady Whickerton, sees that Beatrice Hartley is upset at a ball, he steps into rescue Beatrice from a scandalous situation, falls in love with her, and puts the scoundrel who hurt her in his place. Beatrice is reluctant at first, but Lady Whickerton (Grandma Edith) helps move things along. Lovely story in the Whickerton family.
