Rival to Resist by Martha Keyes, Book Review
Book Summary:
He came for her votes. He stayed for her heart.
When Frederick Yorke arrives in the Cornish fishing village of Trelowen, he knows exactly what he wants: a seat in Parliament and the recognition that has always eluded him.
Unfortunately, that ambition runs straight through Lady Caroline Radcliffe—a young and intelligent widow who controls the votes he needs and has no patience for charming men with hidden agendas.
Caroline has already pledged her support elsewhere, to a trusted friend who also aspires to her hand. But no amount of frankness seems to rid her of Frederick. As political maneuvering gives way to sharp-witted debate, stolen moments, and an attraction neither of them intended, their carefully laid plans begin to unravel, forcing them to redefine victory—and decide what they are willing to sacrifice to achieve it.
A closed-door Regency romance filled with wit, warmth, and swoon.
My Review:
Such a sweet and interesting regency romance! This takes place in Cornwall and the people who live there are absolutely delightful. I loved Mrs. Tonkin, she was a delight! I loved that Frederick was willing to go above and beyond to get to know the people of Cornwall. The party at the beach was one of my favorite scenes of the book. Keyes did a great job making the reader question the intentions of both Oswald and at times, Freddie too. This is part of a series and reads fine as a standalone (I have not read the previous books). If you are a fan of sweet regency romance you will want to grab yourself a copy of Rival to Resist by Martha Keyes!
Happy Reading!!!
