This heartwarming romance touched my heart as widowed Patience Moore finds her place in society once again. With the help of her close friend and supporter, together with the Widow of Whitehall, Patience finds herself at the Lyon's Den. Coming face to face with Asher, Earl of Rowley, Patience is surprised to find herself responding to him in a way that is completely unlike her. Asher has sworn off marriage, and although he moves through society with lighthearted grace, he nevertheless has generated enemies he was not even aware of. With his brother still recovering from his dreadful wartime ordeal, Asher is prepared to buckle down and take responsibility for his family, that is until he discovers that the beauty he met at the Lyon's Den in the last place he expected to find her. With Mrs. Dove-Lyon working her magic, the novel comes to a happy conclusion. I received a copy of this book as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.

It always amazes me how an author can knit a story together so seamlessly and have it come out so beautifully! This author does that easily! Asher and Patience have a such a chemistry that sparks the minute they meet and never lets go. It was heartwrenching to watch Asher’s brother go through his trauma both from the war and in the hospital. (Truly hope he gets his own story) I adored the scene between Patience’s family and her and the villain is truly a very creepy! A wonderful addition to the Lyon’s Den! Can’t wait to see Cassandra’s story!

I received this story for free and these are my own opinions

Hades and Persephone; Not Quite.
I am torn about just how and what to say about this Lyons' Den story.
If you like sweet, intriguing characters with cute tantalizing banter and a few sweet kisses that leads to a happy ending then consider this is a good story.
This is not the typical matchmaking high stakes game Mrs. Dove Lyon plays on the unsuspecting rake that finds himself in a very passionate highly powered romantic marriage.
I for one thought it lacking and it could have been so, so much more with just a little bit more effort in the alluring desirous situations which should have brought on a sparkling sizzling romance.
This is a very short story with sweet characters, and I really enjoyed the story, but I did feel disappointed that it is not up to par with the Lyons Den series.

Widow Patience is convinced by her friend that she must remarry. When she is at the Lyon’s Den to talk to Mrs. Dove-Lyon, she bumps into Tyler. Though Tyler denies he is looking for a wife, he can’t help his attraction to the widow. Can Patience trust that Tyler is truly ready to settle down? I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.
