If you are as fond of a scarred hero and a second chances love story as much as I am, this is an amazing book for you. The story is about Sophie and Shay, who find their way to happiness, despite inner and outer turmoil in their lives. The writing is fantastic and very engaging and there is just the right spiciness to the novel. It kept my attention from start to finish and was very original, with no tried and true or tired angles to it.

Sophie meets Shay the second son of a Duke when she was a child and her grandmother betrothed her to the next Duke.
She grows up dreading her marriage.but she continues to write to Shay in the Army and their friendship happens easily.
A tragic event on the eve of her wedding leads to guilt and recrimations.
As Shay later attempts to save her from a horrible engagement and wedding, the two of them must come to grips with their feelings and new circumstances.
Emotional and wonderful, absolutely loved it.
Series has been easy to read and become engrossed in the lives and loves of the Dukes.

This was a great book. Well written with lots of character depth. I went through a bunch of emotions reading this book, I was sad, I was excited, I was happy with the ending. The hero Shay is just so guilt ridden and I loved his valets spunk. The heroine deserved her happiness and boy did she fight for it. She was a terrific firebrand. Great read.

Sophie and Shay have always liked each other. Sophie is determined to honor the marriage contract that her grandmother made with the family to marry his older brother John. John dies on the night before the wedding in a fire that also scars Shay. Shay, feeling guilty over his brother's death, pushes Sophie away from him. When Shay hears she is about to marry a cruel fortune hunter, he steps back into her life to protect her. Always protective of her, but not feeling good enough for her, Shay must overcome these issues if he and Sophie are to be happy. I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for my honest review.

Amazing work the writer did an excellent work on this project I can’t wait for the next chapter and to the characters I love how they made it look so real I really wish they can make it into a movie for people to watch because this book is extraordinarily good and I really love it
