The latest problem for Heath Grenville to solve, is who is the author of the caricatures that is exposing the foibles of the ton to the rest of the world. Miss Eleanora Winfield, is the paid companion to her cousin Lady Roundtree, but she has a secret.
Another enjoyable well-written historical romance for this series.
A NetGalley Book ( )

First, thank you to the publisher for pre-approving me to receive this ARC via Netgalley.

This book was what I enjoy. It was full of passion and love but there was also drama and secrets.
Meet Nora, a sheep maiden who took a position as her wealthy cousin’s paid companion to keep her family farm afloat. Then meet, Heath, a handsome and very wealthy gentleman, in line to inherit a baronetcy.
When they first meet, they both know that any kind of interaction between them will be frowned upon and a relationship would be downright forbidden. However, after a numerous twists and turns, the couple find themselves very much smitten with each other but there are secrets that could keep them apart.

The characters are interesting which I find very delightful because sometimes in historical fiction, the story line and the characters can be quite boring. That is not the case in this novel. The characters are great and they make you feel compassion and dread for them and at least I wished them to have a happily ever after.

When it comes to the plot, it was easy, and interesting to follow. It was not boring and heavy. I did not feel the need to put book down once and like I said, it felt dreadful in the bits where the characters faced hardship and problems.

A delightful and a very happy read. I’m looking forward to reading more books from this series and I warmly recommend it to any fans of historical romance stories. ( )

Erica Ridley has done an amazing job of adding to the total Rogues to Riches series. In this case, a future baron falls in love with a lady's companion (who is just off the farm). The book spends a lot of time with the two of them fighting their feelings - is love stronger than duty and position? In addition to fighting their love, she has a secret that could explode the relationship. Is love enough to keep them together.
I addition to the two main characters, the secondary characters add to the story - some are characters we know from previous books so are brand new but they are all memorable. And of course you can't go wrong when there is an adorable puppy in the mix.
I received an advanced copy of this book. ( )
