The final installment in the “hilarious and steamy” (PopSugar) Regency Vows series follows the heir to a dukedom and a young widow, once very much in love, as they reunite years later to fake an engagement for the benefit of her sister.West, the Marquess of Weston, and Sophie, Lady Fitzwilliam Bridewell, have lately been spending a considerable amount of time together. But West and Sophie are not new acquaintances. In fact, years ago, they had once been nearly engaged until West’s almost fatal curricle accident and his meddling father threw them off course. Now recently widowed, Sophie has put aside all thoughts of romance. But when her widowed sister, Alexandra, mentions a fondness for an earl, Sophie realizes that she may be holding her sister back. Alexandra won’t move forward with an engagement until Sophie, too, settles down again, and so Sophie approaches West with a plan. They will announce their engagement and break things off once Alexandra is happily married. It’ll be simple. After all, it’s not like she is going to fall for West a second time, not when Sophie has sworn not to risk her heart again.

"I don’t normally review books, but I received this as an early release goodreads giveaway.<br/><br/>This is my second Martha Waters book. This is on par with her other books in the series. They are fun books that have moments that can drag a little. I liked this book more than the other one I read. I enjoyed the relationships and seeing how everyone’s stories tie together. This was a cute ending for the series."
"This was a good read and conclusion to this series. I love when historical romance gives me exactly what I need with banter, humor, and feels. This is a second chance romance between Sophie the fmc and West the mmc and is told in both present and past timelines. We see West and Sophie at the beginning of their relationship when they almost got engaged and why they didn't. Sophie ends up marrying a friend of Wes, becomes a widow, and comes into contact with Wes again. There is a fake engagement plot, a great friend group, good humor, and banter. The chapters in the past helped me to understand the heartbreak, grief, and tragedy that the main characters went through. The tension and chemistry were also well written, and two steamy scenes were steamier than I expected which was nice. I loved seeing all the friend groups and couples together it made for a good ending. Thank you, Atria for this arc. <br/><br/>Read if you like: <br/>- Historical romance<br/>- Second chance<br/>- Forced proximity <br/>- Fake engagement"
