Review
I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher, via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
After a horrific riding accident left her injured, Lady Harriet Fitzroy isn't about to let anything stop her. She was told she would never walk again, but though she has a limp, she proved everyone wrong, and has become a spirited young woman, always ready to help others. Jasper, the Earl of Beaufort, hasn't seen his friend's younger sister since before the accident, but is shocked to see what a beautiful woman she has become. Her family doesn't agree with his reputation, but she won't let that stop her, and risks her own reputation to help him find a wife. Little does she know, though, that he's already found the woman he wants to be with.
I really liked this book. Harriet was such a feisty character, who didn't care for the Season, or finding a husband, but would rather spend her time at the hospital helping others in situations like she had been in. She was lucky that she had a caring and loving family to support her through her recovery, but many in London do not. A self proclaimed wallflower, Harriet spends her time on the sides of ballrooms, though when Jasper arrives home, he puts an end to it. I loved their growth as friends, and then partners. Jasper unexpectedly finds himself the father of a young child, and though he knows that it will cause scandal, he is ready for the world to know his daughter, and doesn't want to hide her away. I really found this to be a great romance, and I hope to read the others in the series soon!
