This is a story a girl who is little bit shy and her family over protected her and a man who promised to look out for her while a big event was happening in her home. He does protect her but like what happens in the most of these stories he also falls for her and she falls for him. There are some things that get in the way like a jealous ex but it comes together at the end. In all I like the story. I think anybody who likes story setting this time would like it too.

3.5/5 stars.

I received this book from Netgalley and Montlake Publishers for an honest review. This does not in any way affect my opinion of the book and it's characters.

Overall I enjoyed this book; the writing is solid, the romance and chemistry between the characters palpable, the plot while cliche and somewhat tried and tested, doesn't really get on my nerves much. As we know, I do enjoy the plot's that involve a scheming ex-mistress/mother/someone but while this does have that, it didn't impact the enjoyement factor.

Emily has lived most of her life cooped up in her secluded country home, far away from prying eyes and opinions over her scarred face. Her brother has protected her to the point of suffocation her entire life, leaving nothing of her life to herself. And when he get's married in a grand fashion, he wants to ensure his sister is well looked after. For this critical task he asks his friend Viscount Morley to keep an eye on her.

You know where this is going. Morley has his own demons to combat, and helps bring Emily out of her shell and let's her make choices for herself. I like that a lot of the book had interactions with them and the sub-plots were neglibible. The ending seemed a bit streched in the mis-understandings and the interfering ex-mistresses. But I do like the writing style and wouldn't mind reading more from the author.

If a shy, scarred, highly protected heroine and a rake who's really a sweetheart are your thing then this book is definitely for you!

I read the first book in this series and really liked it but this book has something special about it that made me like it even more. The scars both emotional and physical make these characters more relatable. Their vulnerabilities are shown as part of who they are and that they are not weak but very powerful when they rely on each other. Malcolm and Emily’s beautiful love story will have you smiling in the end.

Lady Emily Masters and Malcolm Arborn, Viscount Morley, find love in book 2 of the Twice Shy Series; a HEA standalone love story filled with love, self-discovery, forgiveness and some heat.
This beautifully written tale grabbed me from beginning to end. The characters are believable, I felt engaged throughout with the slow building romance between Emily and Malcolm and their interactions, Emily’s growing confidence in herself and Malcolm learning to love again; I smiled and I cried with them. The supporting cast of characters added layers to the story and I look forward to more in this series.
I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for my honest opinion.

I wanted to love this book but the ebook format of it was so discombobulated and the sentences had random skips and errors, there were page numbers in the middle of paragraphs, and it was just incomprehensible.

I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.
I loved this one. I’m a sucker for romance with a scarred/disabled protagonist, and this one did not disappoint. It was a very slow build, but that kept me going and it was able to engage me all the way through a very long, drawn m-out house party of a wedding. Charming.

Caleb Masters, Marquess of Willbridge, is getting married. He is best friends with Malcolm Arborn, Viscount Morley. Caleb has a sister, Emily who is a bit of a wallflower as she has a noticeable scar on her face from an accident that killed her twin brother. Caleb asks Malcolm to watch over Emily during the wedding and festivities afterwards. He reluctantly agrees. Once he gets to know her, he realizes that she is important to him. She has become more outgoing and happier. He has decided he wants her for his wife and he believes that Emily loves him as well. Before he can talk to her about his feelings, an old love of his who broke his heart, walks back into his life causing problems with her repeated lies and interference. Emily goes back into her shell and refuses to have anything else to do with him. Will Malcolm be able to convince Emily that he truly loves her and wants her? I thought this was a really great book with characters that I cared about. I loved Emily and Malcolm together. I received this book from Net Galley for a honest review and no compensation otherwise.

I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I started reading the viscount's promise after being disappointed with another story that I couldn't get through. Initially I was only going to read a chapter in order to cleanse my palate after a disappointing story but I couldn't put this book down I couldn't wait to finish the entire story. I love how Malcolm brought out the confidence and Emily after she had grown up with the scar on her cheek due to an accident when she was a child. And I love how Emily is able to bring out the light in Malcolm after he's dealt with betrayal and loss throughout his life. I really enjoyed Malcolm and Emily finding their way to each other.
