see this review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/223217428?book_show_action=true&page=1. I couldn't sum it up any better.
Thank you NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for the chance to read and review this book.
It's been a while since I've read a regency romance that actually covers topics on the heavier side, without dismissing them altogether by the end. Henry has a gambling problem and that doesn't magically go away; he is gambler and that stays until the end. Katie has a birthmark that scares people, and that doesn't just disappear with her revealed to be a conventional beauty. Her father doesn't become gentle with them at the end, and they really will struggle for money in the future.
This made it a good solid read. And the spice was just **chefs kiss**!… (mehr)

Would have rated it higher if there were more hilarious conversations between Lorrie and her Viking. Good story but some plot points were resolved without enough exposition and her parents were a messy confusion.

Emory (Rory) Lumley, is the younger son of a Duke, and probably lost the most from the curse. While the other two lost material things, Rory lost his wife and newborn son – on his thirtieth birthday. So, Rory and I were tracking along pretty well together – because I believe we share several personality traits – and then we get toward the end of the book when the three men have to make a choice that will end the curse. I empathized with Rory, I really did – but – when the words ‘impossible choice’ were uttered, he lost me and my empathy. That is really sad too because he had been my favorite from the first book, and I just couldn’t wait for his book. Even the lovely epilogue didn’t make up for, nor redeem Rory in my eyes.
Genevieve Brooking is a very caring no-nonsense governess who was quickly hired to care for Rory’s daughter Frances after she was abruptly and unceremoniously given back into his care. I loved Genevieve from the moment she first graced the page and at the end, I thought she deserved someone better than Rory. Genevieve had been a governess for fourteen years and always handled the children in her care with compassion, love, concern, care, and a no-nonsense attitude. That combination was just exactly what Frances Lumley needed and she blossomed under Genevieve’s care. That combination was exactly what Rory needed also, and he too blossomed.
This was an excellently written story with vivid descriptions of the peaceful settings around Rory’s home and delightful tales of Frances’s shenanigans. I loved Genevieve and her mother – both were strong, relatable ladies any of us would love to meet. I also loved seeing King, Violet, Henry, and Kate again. What I didn’t like and could not get past, even with the lovely epilogue, was Rory’s ‘impossible’ decision. I absolutely did not like the way he handled that whole thing and would love to tell you why, but I don't want to include a spoiler. So, I’m glad to have read this book and finished the series, but I wouldn’t read this one a second time.
