Wishes Can Come True:
What an amazing short story that is packed to the brim with emotions and wonderful characters; but one not so good.
Mrs. Dove Lyon plays a hefty role in the story of second chances.
The plot was interesting, and the ending was Oh My Goodness and Intense before it reached a very happy ending.
Favorite Character: Melody, the charming little daughter.
I truly enjoyed this episode of the Lyons Den Connected World.

Ten years ago Adaline’s world fell apart when her half sister managed to break her betrothal but she pulled herself together. Unexpectedly they meet again at a houseparty, can they have a second chance or are the fates against them still?

Adaline Beverley is a widow who supports herself and her daughter as an investigator. She has decided it is time to find a husband and turns to Mrs. Dove Lyon for help.

Felix Seward, Duke of Kempbury has decided he wants to marry someone who will not only be his duchess but also be his wife. He wants to be loved for himself and not just his title.

Felix has asked Mrs. Dove Lyon for help in finding him a wife. She sends him to a house party telling him that he will meet his future wife there. He doesn’t realized until he arrives that the person Mrs. Dove Lyon has in mind is Adaline Beverly. He was once betrothed to her but it ended badly. Will Adaline and Felix finally put the past behind them and realize that their future is together?

I truly enjoyed this book!! The book is a quick read that was really fun and entertaining to read!! I liked how both Adaline and Felix were able to resolve their misunderstanding they had about their past and were able to move forward together. The secondary characters really added to the story and were just delightful. I highly recommend this book!!

Lyon’s Dilemma is a fantastic short easy read. Felix and Adaline are both mature, sensible likeable leads and it’s a very sweet second chance romance, featuring an evil twin, a secret child and some fierce feminine energy! This is a clean romance and the tension is very well built, so even if you generally prefer explicit scenes, you will not find yourself missing them. I very much enjoyed this read and also please check out author’s notes in the end, which were amazing!

Thanks to NetGalley and Dragonblade Publishing for this easy sweet read!

Jude Knight is a master. How absolutely breathtakingly romantic and original, even in a series. So cute.

This addition to the series had familiar characters from another story. It was a short novella that was about second chances, an evil doppelgänger half sister, a belligerent viscount, spying and espionage, and rekindled love. This story was about reuniting a family. Their declarations of love were believable. The characters were well developed and some were even likable. It had a funny witty child that was entertaining. Mrs Dove Lyon didn’t seem as shrewd and helpful as in other stories. The past separation between the main couple didn’t linger forever. The story quickly cleared things up and allowed for a happy future. This was a clean story with mentions of intimacy. The ending felt abrupt and unfinished. I wanted to know more and get a peek into their future with more children. This is a quick read.

This is a short story that was well written and entertaining. It’s a second chance for Felix and Adaline and an unexpected surprise awaits him. There is another surprise that is fortunately realized before it is too late. I especially loved the addition of Melody to the story and it’s a story worth reading.
