Sadly, I realized after I requested (and downloaded) that it was NOT the complete book. I would have held off until the full ARC was offered for review. I am too impatient with teasers like this. I “need” to read further but hate to wait.

I saw the author’s name and auto clicked. Sabrina Jeffries has always been a “go to” author for me in the historical romance genre.
The first two chapters introduce the characters involved, what the main male lead went through. A shame I will have a lengthy wait until I can finish.

Not realizing this was only the first two chapters of an upcoming release, I was disappointed upon downloading it. Cant wait for the book release as I am left wondering... Free ARC from NetGalley.

Just a hint not a full book. We see backstory and meet the three men featured in the trilogy. For me I want full book so will look when it comes out.

This is a promising teaser- I like the characters we've seen so far, and I'm interested in the dynamics at play with the families, the love interest and the duke. I would need to read more to get a sense of what the conflicts will be, though obviously there is survivor's guilt at play, as well as the duke's feelings about being thrown away by his parents. I will definitely be requesting the full ARC!
