After reading another book by Heather Boyd, I bought this book in The Distinguished Rogues Bundle by Heather Boyd. This book is the first in a series of three books about 3 English Lord friends who all find love. I think this book is an excellent read, it is very well written and kept me interested the entire time, making it hard to put down sometimes. It is not as ‘Steamy’ as the other book I had read by this author, and the book that comes after this one in the series, “Broken”, is definitely hotter, so this book makes for a great Regency Romance.I loved the plot and story line, it was a great concept and she made it believable so it works. Jack, the Marquess of Ettington, is unsure of how to continue dealing with his twin sister, Virginia, Lady Orkney, four years after her husband, who was unusually cruel to her, has died. Virginia has lots of issues she needs to work through, so Jack invites their childhood friend, Constance Grange, aka Pixie, to stay with them in London. Virginia & Pixie are best friends but haven’t seen each other in years, and Jack was Pixie’s guardian after her father died, but she reached her majority and is no longer in charge of her as of a year ago. Pixie’s mother is still alive and has managed to spend all their money so they are broke. The story goes from there. There are a few friends in the book who add to the story and make great minor characters (some of which you can read their stories in the next two books). I also really enjoyed the secondary romance between the sister Virginia, as she heals throughout the book, and another long time friend.The only things I didn’t like about it was 1) the title, not really sure where it fits? And 2) there is a lot of sexual tension between Jack & Pixie and it takes forever for them to finally kiss, they should have kissed earlier on, they almost do, you think they will than, nothing. But otherwise a great read and I would highly recommend.
