A beautiful, romantic story of two wounded hearts that become mended as their love blooms. Loved how the author handled the elements of how war affects the lives of soldiers with unseen wounds. It really gives the reader a peak into what soldiers give up in the name of peace.

Absolutely love Michael, Duke, after his father, and brother are killed in a wreck. While he was fighting at Waterloo, which left him with what we now know as, PTSD. He is left in charge of Henry, Earl, because his father died saving Michael. Henry is a young man in need of guidance, how to manage his estates, and everything that goes with the Earldom, this is what the Duke had promised Henry's father. Then Henry meets beautiful Chole, the youngest of the three Summerton sisters. Their father became an art forger after their Mother died. Just as he was about to be caught, he flees, leaving his teenage daughters, all alone to take care of themselves. Chole, at that age, was desperately ill, in dire need of expensive medicine, they were all desperate for each other. 
Now, the oldest two sisters are married, Chole is determined to marry young Henry, she will never be left alone, desperate for money, and food again. However, the Duke doesn't think she is good enough for Henry! Who is she good enough for? I highly recommend! Thanks! Enjoy!

This beautiful story is one of redemption and love. You couldn't help but feel for Michael, Chloe, and Emily. Michael is a hero worthy of being your next fictional boyfriend.

I promised an honest and fair review in exchange for this ARC.  Nice story about the things that we think define us and hold us back and how love and sharing can set us free from our nightmares.  Shorter story but worth your time.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I was really excited to receive this book and read the next book in this series. I love Chloe's story. I am hoping we are shown a glimpse of the three sisters in the future. This addition to the series was well done and hope there will be more.

This is the first book I've read by Ms. Gabrielle and it was such an enjoyable read. Michael Keswick, Duke of Cameron, is a war hero, but he's brought back horrifying nightmares from the battle of Waterloo. When his path crosses with Miss Chloe Somerton, he recognizes her as the young thief picking pockets of rich dandys years before. With Michael threatening to reveal her secret, Chloe's ire is raised and she doesn't back down from the intimidating duke as explains her reason for thieving in her youth. 

The sparks are flying between these two even though Chloe originally is trying to land the titled Lord, Henry, who Michael has taken under his wing since his father died at Waterloo. Henry is besotted with Chloe and Michael works hard to keep them apart, all the while, falling for Chloe himself. He has vowed never to marry because of his "episodes." Ms. Gabrielle does an excellent job of handling the sensitive PTSD aspect of Michael's character. War is hell and many men were scared by it although many in the period believed the condition showed weakness. I loved Chloe's compassionate nature not only for Michael, but also for little Emily. That added a nice touch to the story. My interest held until the end wondering if Michael come overcome his reluctance to subject Chloe to his episodes and dark moods. Fans of Regency romance will definitely enjoy this book.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review. Part of the story relates to PTSD from the battle at Waterloo and the lingering effects it has on Michael.  Events can trigger an episode and during one of these Chloe assists in getting him safely home.  The book is well written and keeps your attention.  There is a lot more to the story but you need to read it for yourself.  I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.

Can you say "stalker", Henry? 

Poor guy, what a bad time for an episode. 

Was she also a prostitute or something? 

Eliza sounds hypocritical. 

He's that sure that he can control the timing of his PTSD episodes? 

If that girl wanted to keep her pin, maybe she shouldn't have thrown it on the table. 

Thank goodness we know more about asthma now. 

What are you, a Merry Widow, Lady Willoughby? 

How is the ferryman dealing with the fireworks? 

And that's why you shouldn't make assumptions, bub. 

How old is he, that he should grow up with Henry's father? 

For Pete's sake, how hard is it to tell the boy you won't marry him? 

Henry is the one without honor. He deliberately provoked him. 

The orphanage doctor is a quack. 

Why can't they adopt Emily?

The Duke Meets His Match 
by Tina Gabrielle 
it was amazing

I can only write, that I believe, this book is wonderful. It has the elements of compassion, passion, life, romance, love, sacrifice, betrayal. It has logic and wonderful characters. A story that makes you think some of it is real for you are certain such things happened. At the same time, it makes your heart feel for all the sacrifices that our service people give for us. I loved this book. I totally became a captivated party to its plot and its characters. It is not a book that you will find fast paced. It is steady and the ground work is wonderful as it unfolds. So buy and enjoy! I was given this book in return for an honest review. Anna Swedenmom
