An Earl, the Girl, and a Toddler

Rogues and Remarkable Women Series, Book 2

By: Vanessa Riley

Narrated by: Bahni Turpin

Masterminded by the ton's most clever countess, the secret society The Widow's Grace helps ill-treated widows regain their reputations, their families, and even find true love again - or perhaps for the very first time....

Surviving a shipwreck en route to London from Jamaica was just the start of Jemina St. Maur's nightmare. Suffering from amnesia, she was separated from anyone who might know her, and imprisoned in Bedlam. She was freed only because barrister Daniel Thackery, Lord Ashbrook, was convinced to betray the one thing he holds dear: the law. Desperate to unearth her true identity, Jemina's only chance is to purloin dangerous secrets with help from The Widow's Grace - which means staying steps ahead of the formidable Daniel, no matter how strongly she is drawn to him....

Married only by proxy, now widowed by shipwreck, Daniel is determined to protect his little stepdaughter, Hope, from his family's scandalous reputation. That's why he has dedicated himself not just to the law, but to remaining as proper, upstanding - and boring - as can be. But the closer he becomes to the mysterious, alluring Jemina, the more Daniel is tempted to break the very rule of law to which he's deevoted his life. And as ruthless adversaries close in, will the truth require him, and Jemina, to sacrifice their one chance at happiness?

Enjoyable

A delicious hero and a strong, funny heroine made this a very enjoyable read.

an amazing sequel!

The story was amazing you will absolutely fall in love with the two main characters and adorable little Hope ! The narration is also absolutely wonderful!! I would highly recommend !!

Awful

I usually have redeeming words for any, if not most books but with this one I cannot. The main female character is stupid, confusing and accusatory. She is unloving and unforgiving no matter how much The Earl gives in. She makes him into a Simp while she touts Her Truth that she knows NOTHING about. At a time when she should be able to see and understand what would happen to her mixed race disabled female child or a Black man she is still miserly in Her feelings and actions being emotionally abusive. This author and character are creating issues and hardships where there should be none therfore creating the very problems that should have been avoided. Normally, I do not mind this Narrator but along with these characters it is difficult at best tragically vomitous at worst. Yes, I do want my money back. And I will be taking the rest of said author's books OFF my Wish List.
