I loved this book! I loved the whole series but this book really captured my interest and I love the way the story flowed. This is book #4 in the Beacons of Hope series but the books do not have to be read in order to be enjoyed.
Victoria is spoiled. That is a fact. She has no concept of how to live without being waited on hand and foot. Tom, on the other hand, has never enjoyed being in the midst of the super rich but because of his job he has no other choice. When he crosses paths with Victoria he knows he is in trouble. Can we say instant attraction? The author does a wonderful job of expressing the frustration and sexual tension between these two as the book goes on. Coming from two different directions will they ever be able to find a common ground? Just that thought alone kept me turning pages into the wee hours of the morning.
You will love this book! It is well worth your money and time! In fact, if you have not read any of the series please do. Ms. Hedlund did an outstanding job with these books and I learned a lot about lighthouses in the process which was very interesting.

The Reluctant Duchess by Roseanna M. White
This is the second book in the Ladies Of The Manor series. While I have not read the first book this one was easy to follow and the reader does not get lost because they didn't read the first book. Each book stands on it's own and can either be read in order or not.
Lady Rowena has a problem. A big one. Her father wants her to marry a man who will take over his passion for preserving their Highland heritage. After an attack by said man Rowena wants nothing to do with him. What is she to do?
What happens next and throughout the rest of the book kept me turning pages late into the night. Every time I thought I was at a stopping place something else happened to keep me reading.
I loved the authors attention to detail and she brought the history to life in a way that enhanced the story but did not feel like a history lesson. As for the Duke - oh my! Ladies, you will swoon!
I cannot wait to read the next book in this series and see what happens next. While I am waiting I will go back and read the first book. If you love historical fiction you will love this book. I highly recommend it!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
