A truly lovely Regency romance. A noble hero unexpectedly inherits a grand estate and finds it difficult to rise to the challenge. He happens upon our heroine in a charming ‘meet cute’ and things begin to look up. Our heroine, however, has struggled in society due to a mild speech impediment (dropped r’s) which causes everyone to assume a lack of intelligence. That is, until she meets our noble hero...

There’s a definite villain, an unintentional villain, a loving sister and mother, and more that nicely round out the cast. And while the story may have been rather predictable, I enjoyed it from start to finish.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
