This is just an excerpt/taste of the newest Sabrina Jeffries book coming in 2020.
There is just enough to make you want more.
I hope to get to read an ARC of this book in it's entirety.
I was unaware of this when I requested it initially.

I would love to say this book was a gem to read, but seeing as its just one chapter I’m reviewing it’s a bit hard to say that. In all honesty, I cannot do this book full justice from reading just one chapter. Although I would say, the one chapter was captivating and interesting. Which I guess should give an indication of how the book would be.

I want to know what happens between Gwyn and Joshiua and what happened between Gwyn and Lionel. Love Sabrina Jeffries. Definitely need to get this book.

This was only a one chapter preview of the book. However, that one chapter was enough to hook me in. I can not wait to read the whole book!
I love the opening. The feeling that you are reading the gossip column of a newspaper is an intriguing twist that had me giddy to know more. Lady Gwyn's advanced age (30) is also a perspective that I am dying to read more about. This feels like a refreshing story line to break the monotony of the young, naive maiden in distress.

***Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review***

Typical historical romance, but good enough to keep my interest.

Arc
I am so disappointed that this was just one chapter.  
I will leave a rating here but don’t feel right leaving a full review on one chapter of a book. 
The book starts well but I have no idea whether or not I’ll enjoy it.

Only Chapter one was given for review as a teaser.  I was so enjoying reading it and then found out it was only Chapter 1.  I was upset for the tease, but I am looking forward to reading the full book when it comes out in 2020. This is going to be a great story as Sabrina Jeffries never disappoints.  Based on what I have read so far, I will be waiting for this one to be released.

Can't wait for the whole book! This was just an excerpt. The Bachelor has a war hero protecting an heiress. She has a blackmailer and she's in London to navigate the ton and have her debut. They are the perfect pair. Just because someone has a title doesn't make them a good person.

I really enjoyed a great many things about this book. Characters were fleshed out and the plot was well spaced. Some of the secondary storylines could've used a bit more page space but all in all an enjoyable read!

<<< First chapter review - not whole book >>>

After reading the first book in the Duke Dynasty (Project Duchess) I was stoked to continue reading about this fascinating family!

I received a first chapter teaser and it definitely did that! I had forgotten it wasn’t the whole book and got myself quite engrossed in the story by the end of the first chapter! If I had had the whole book,, I could have read late into the night… oh well! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and I will eagerly be awaiting The Bachalor’s February 2020 release!

Chapter synopsis: Heiress Lady Gwyn Drake is keeping a secret from her family, one that has left her unmarried at the ripe age of 30. All is going well until her family decides to give her a. London season… Just when she thinks that is enough of to contend with at the moment, her former suiters and her secret come out of the woodwork with an eye to blackmail Lady Gwen! Thankfully the handsome and illusive gamekeeper is nearby to come to her rescue when Lady Gwen’s blackmailer gets mad at her… she is safe, but now gamekeeper Joshua Wolfe insists on tell her brother about the encounter… this will only make it harder for Gwen to appease her blackmailer when she arrives in London … 

Wow! That was an exciting chapter… I can’t wait to see hoe Lady Gwen fairs and how things evolve his the hansom gamekeeper, Mr. Wolfe.

The Bachelor by Sabrina Jeffries is scheduled to release February 25, 2020.

I received a complimentary copy of this first chapter from Kensington Books through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Cant wait to read this. the one chapter I read has me pinning for more. I just finished project duchess so I got A insight in Wolfe and Gwen.

Had I known this was only an excerpt, I would have read it right away!

Length aside, I’m really intrigued by the story. I liked the idea of beginning with blackmail, and the chemistry between Gwyn and Joshua seems strong.

Only got the first chapter.  Was interesting and would love to read the rest.  Everything was set up in the first chapter, the problem and the solution with the help of a interesting character.

This is only the first chapter, so I can't critique the story, but it sounds like it's going to be great!!

I absolutely adore historical romance and this was such a fun ride of a book! Great chemistry, great pacing and sizzling romance. Love it!

This is an excerpt so it is hard to know.  The first chapter sounds interesting.  Heroine is being blackmailed over an affair she had and hid from everyone.

I can't wait for the entire book to be released.  Wont give a five star without reading the whole thing - but what I read has whet my appetite for more!

I loved this book!! This is the second book I read from this author and loved! Historical Fiction is my favorite genre and this book is one reason why!!

14 Nov 2019:  Thoughts on single chapter preview of THE BACHELOR by Sabrina Jeffries

I've been languishing—seemingly for *months*—in hold limbo for PROJECT DUCHESS, book #1 in Duke Dynasty series. To maintain interest, I decided to take peek at preview ARC of book #2, THE BACHELOR.

I thought that the newspaper article & opening chapter were really well-written, both technically & creatively.  In just a few pages, lots of background info conveyed to the reader, refreshing memories of those who read #1 & establishing basic foundation for those who haven't.

And story opens w/ h being blackmailed!  Immediate interest caught as to who, how & why.  From bits revealed, easy enough to guess at basis for blackmail, but will have to wait for actual book for confirmation.  Felt pistol use encroached upon TSTL territory, but that's just me & weapons :)

After reading the preview, I'm left w/ 2 basic Qs (due to h being 30yo) & itch to read rest of THE BACHELOR.  Pls excuse me as I check *again* on hold status for PROJECT DUCHESS.

Oh, right—in case I forget or email goes astray, would love to get actual ARC for THE BACHELOR.  Thx again!

The excerpt is long enough to give an idea to the reader as to how the rest of the book will be. Personally I ended up thinking that the book would be for me, even though I love Sabrina Jeffries books. For the begging of a story, I found it good enough.
