The Tenacious Lady Blackmore by Laura Rollins, Book Review

By Books Are Sanity!!! -

 


Book Summary:

There may be time for one last match this Season—
All it will take is a little tenacity.

Lady Charlotte Blackmore has spent her life helping the vulnerable find refuge at The Asylum for Orphaned Girls. But now her association with Seth threatens that—members on the committee refuse to trust a woman who they believe has set her cap at a man decidedly below her station.

While Charlotte declares otherwise, Sir Seth Mulgrave is even more adamant. He failed the woman he cared for once. Now, over two decades later, he’s not willing to take a chance on love again.

Knowing how important Charlotte’s work is to her, Seth proposes a plan—they will convince society they are only friends. Proving you’re only friends with someone you care deeply for is not as easy as it sounds, though. But, pursuing a relationship would mean no longer being able to help young girls at risk—how can either of them be at peace with that?

As the forth and final stand-alone novel in a new series by author Laura Rollins, The Tenacious Lady Blackmore ends the Daughters of Courage series with a romance readers are calling "marvelous" and "absolutely delightful". This charming story is a light-hearted, clean and wholesome romance set in the Regency era (think: a clean Bridgerton). All books in this series have their own Happily-Ever-After and can be read apart but are best enjoyed in proper order.

My Review:

This regency was a whirlwind of romance and mystery solving! I loved Lady Blackmore, she was poised, polished, and down to earth. Her love for her family shone through the pages. Sir Mulgrave was literally a knight sans the armor, and I adored his desire to run from polite society and just live a normal life. But despite his desire to do so, his desire to be around Lady Blackmore was stronger. Rollins really kept me page turning with the mystery regarding Emma, I could not peg down what it was until she revealed it. A great mystery always holds my interest and it was the perfect combination with this friends to lovers trope. Rollins makes reading easy as she beautifully entwines romance, every day life, and navigating polite society all in one story. Regency fans will adore this book. It reads just fine as a standalone if you have not read any others in the series. I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
