I received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review
Pretty steamy, the romance is pretty basic, but I’m assuming you don’t read these for the plot. Solid three

This was an easy enough read in the way one loves a historical romance and the chase. The story moved right along and I loved the chemistry between these two. It was fun and a little frustrating but I really liked the romance.
I was a little confused about the very beginning but it all worked out.
This was a Netgalley read and all opinions are my own.
I have voluntarily read this ARC and this is my review, in my own words. Well, isn't this a delightfully different read. What characters, a surprise at every turn. Unfortunately, sometimes men are so blind and....well silly! Age doesn't matter and those who know it must convince those who don't that this is just the way it should be when a heart is engaged.
his was my first book by this author, but I will definitely read more of her books.
It is the second book in the Lost Lords series, but it can be read a standalone without any problems.
What I enjoyed about this book where the characters and the fact that this book was a bit different then your typical regency romance. I loved how sure Lydia was about her feelings and how she stood up for herself and her happiness and took the steps needed to ensure that. She was sassy, but not annoying
Oliver was a bit different hero. More insecure about himself and not happy with his life, without really knowing what is missing. He is not perfect and also carries scars from his past.
Loved how it was Lydia who took charge and rescued Lord Roxwaithe.
There is so much to love about ‘Rescuing Lord Roxwaithe’ and I am so pleased to have a new author to add to my list. From the very beginning Oliver, the Earl of Roxwaithe, has held a very special bond with Lady Lydia Torrence. However, Oliver has always felt that the fourteen-year age gap, and his great respect for her father, the Marquis of Demartine, has meant that he should only see her as a younger sister. Lydia has never felt that way and has always known that she would marry Oliver, until her eighteenth birthday when she kissed him, and he told her to leave. Two years later, they find themselves together again, with feelings even more intense. But if only Oliver could realise that age makes no difference to when you love someone.
I can’t reveal too much and spoil that absolute delight that this story held. From the very first chapter, I was captivated. Cassandra Dean’s writing is impeccable and flows with such ease. I loved every conversation between Lydia and Oliver, but also found the secondary characters, added such a great dimension to this story. Both Lord and Lady Demartine, and their children, were fascinating in how they observed the ever-transparent feelings of Lydia and Oliver, for each other. It was also interesting to see such a mature young woman as Lydia, hold onto her feelings, allowing Oliver, the older man, time to mature and realise that theirs was a love that went beyond their age difference.
A must read and definitely one to treasure. I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
