The Reluctant Duchess (Ladies of the Manor Book #2) | Roseanna M. White
6 posts | 9 read | 2 to read
A Riveting Edwardian Series Set among Britain's High Society Lady Rowena Kinnaird may be the heiress to a Highland earldom, but she has never felt good enough--not for her father, not for the man she thought she'd marry, not for God. But after a shocking attack, she's willing to be forever an outcast if it means escaping Loch Morar. Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for. While Brice has never been one to shy away from manor-born ladies, the last thing he needs is the distraction of Lady Rowena, who finds herself in a desperate situation. But when Rowena's father tries to trap Brice into marrying his daughter, Brice makes a surprising decision. Rowena wanted to escape the Highlands, but she's reluctant to marry a notorious flirt. And when she learns that Brice is mixed up in questionable business with a stolen treasure, she fears she's about to end up directly in the path of everything she was trying to avoid.

The Reluctant Duchess is not only a brilliant fresh story, it's interlaced with many of our favorite and not so favorite characters from the first book. Rowena is the perfect addition to the already vibrant area personalities. Rowena has an Irish burr that takes a few chapters to get used to, but soon becomes an added layer to her, and not a hindrance to the story.

I'm really enjoying this series. In book 2 you follow the story of Brice, Duke of Nottingham, who meets Rowena in the Scottish highlands. Difficult circumstances throw them together. Now married Rowena must learn to trust Brice when the men in her life have treated very cruelly. And Brice must learn to trust that marrying Rowena was the right choice. Brice must also deal with the red diamonds that he took charge of in book 1. Ready for book 3!

Dying to get back to my book! The heroine just found out that her friend is actually the horrible person her husband said she was. But I was super productive at work today. Put together a cube unit for my office that my Friends of the Library purchased for me. #librarian

Book 2 in the series. One thing I like about these books is that the author puts a cast of characters in the front so you can keep track of everyone.
