About the book

'Anyone who binge-watched Bridgerton needs this feminist regency romance on their radar' Cosmopolitan

'Pulls on every heartstring: perfection' Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author

'Excellent' Jodi Picoult, No.1 New York Times bestselling author

Going toe-to-toe with a brooding Scotsman is rather bold for a respectable suffragist, but when he happens to be one's unexpected husband, what else is an unwilling bride to do?

London banking heiress Hattie Greenfield wanted just three things in life:

1. Acclaim as an artist
2. A noble cause
3. Marriage to a young lord who puts the gentle in gentleman

Why then does this Oxford scholar find herself at the altar with the darkly attractive financier Lucian Blackstone? Trust Hattie to take an invigorating little adventure too far. Now she's stuck with a churlish Scot who just might be the end of her ambitions . . .

When the daughter of his business rival all but falls into his lap, Lucian sees opportunity. As a self-made man, he has vast wealth but holds little power, and Hattie might be the key to finally setting his political plans in motion. Driven by an old desire for revenge, he has no room for his new wife's apprehensions or romantic notions, bewitching as he finds her.

But a sudden journey to Scotland paints everything in a different light. Hattie slowly sees the real Lucian and realizes she could win everything - as long as she is prepared to lose her heart.

Unglaublich anstrengend zu lesen. Ich habe mich echt eine Woche gezwungen reinzukommen und habe es letztendlich abgebrochen. Die Charaktere waren sehr flach und ich habe überhaupt nicht geblickt was in den jeweiligen Szenen vor sich geht 🥲 vielleicht liegt es an mir.. 1,5/5 ⭐️🫖💐🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

The choice of love interest in this book took me by surprise again, which I'm not sure why it did, considering Ballentine had become the love interest in book #2 after his unflattering introduction in book #2. I did enjoy getting to know him though, despite some of his more questionable choices (especially towards Hattie in the beginning). The ending, too, took my by surprise, but it was very satisfying and please me much more than the expected ending would have, as the actual ending is very true to the theme of this book series, as well as Hattie's character. All in all as much of a lovely read as the two previous books. Every single one of this series has me falling equally deeply in love with it.
