The Marquess and the Runaway Lady by Samantha Hastings, Blog Tour & Giveaway!

By Books Are Sanity!!! -










Book Summary:

An entertaining Harlequin Historical debut

Will this disheveled runaway…

Become the diamond of the Season?

When the Marquess of Cheswick—Wick—takes in a mysterious woman, he’s shocked to discover she is Lady Louisa, an heiress who’s escaped her cruel aunt! Grieving the loss of two siblings, Wick avoids opening his heart to anyone else and stays away from the marriage mart. But when Louisa needs a husband in order to claim her inheritance, Wick’s determined to help—even if it means stepping back into his worst nightmare: the Season!

From Harlequin Historical: Your romantic escape to the past.


My Review:

I love fairy tale retellings and I love regency era novels so this book was the best of both worlds. The Marquess and the Runaway Lady is loosely based on Cinderella. I adored Louisa and how she grew throughout the book and became a stronger person. Wick was endearing and his sisters were my favorites!!! Rarely does a book have such wonderful characters that I love them all, but Hastings has managed to do it with this one (except for the villains of course!) I loved the entire Stringham family and how close and tight knit they were. They were loving, kind, and open with each other. It made me want to be a part of their family too! Hastings does a great job keeping the pace going throughout the book and I never lost interest for a moment. I adored the story and hope she writes more fairytale regency stories soon! I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Happy Reading!!!
