Member Review

Miss Evelyn Graves works as personal secretary to the Countess of Waverly. She is sent in her employer's stead to Ballymore Castle in Connemara, Ireland, believing that she would be assisting with planning a fundraiser for an equestrian society. But little did Evie know that the aunt of her host - Alexander Pierpont, Duke of Rennick - was scheming to marry Alex to the countess!

This is the third book in the A Love on Holiday series. It stands alone and is only connected to the others by theme. Just like the previous stories, this book was low angst with warm-fuzzy feels. These characters met by chance once before, so there is already an attraction between them. The previous Duke's will states that Alex must marry in a certain time period, otherwise his mother's unentailed family property will pass to his uncle. His pushy (but not mean-spirited) aunt is not happy to receive Evie instead of her employer, but Alex's siblings join in the family mix and can see Evie and Alex's connection. I've found this entire series to be so enjoyable...perfect for beach reading or curling up on a lazy day.
