Mary Balogh
New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh presents the first historical romance in the Westcott series, where the death of an earl reveals a most scandalous secret. Humphrey Westcott, Earl of Riverdale, has died, leaving behind a fortune and a scandalous secret that will forever alter the lives of everyone in his family—including the daughter no one knew he had... Anna Snow grew up in an orphanage in Bath knowing nothing of the family she came from. Now she discovers that the late Earl of Riverdale was her father and that she has inherited his fortune. She is also overjoyed to learn she has siblings. However, they want nothing to do with her or her attempts to share her new wealth. But the new earl’s guardian is interested in Anna… Avery Archer, Duke of Netherby, keeps others at a distance. Yet something prompts him to aid Anna in her transition from orphan to lady. As London society and her newfound relatives threaten to overwhelm Anna, Avery steps in to rescue her and finds himself vulnerable to feelings and desires he has hidden so well and for so long.

"Perfectly fine. I didn’t care for the hero and his very vague backstory. I didn’t really buy their connection, especially when the last 10 % of the book, there was the whole drama with them not really knowing if they were in love with each other or not. Their relationship was extremely slow burn, to the point where I just didn’t care if they ended up together or not, which is definitely not the aim when reading a romance novel. Also there was that random ass plot line with the Chinese karate master and the Duke. I won’t call it racist like some people have, but it was just absolutely misplaced apart from when he duels Uxbury. I’m hoping later in the series that I will actually be rooting for the one of the couples and see the chemistry and relationship build up during, not by the end of the book."
