Ratings and reviews

3.5 Stars Frederica Burghley wants to be married by Yuletide or risks her father marrying her to one of his friends, however the illegitimate daughter of the duke wants to choose her own husband. Advertising in the newspaper seems like the way to go. But a sinister response, with threats against her life, leads her to enlist the help of her very handsome, dear friend Jasper Fitzwilliam, Lord Hartwell. A father and widower, Jasper is not only tasked with keeping Frederica safe but also with helping his vibrant friend choose a suitable husband. The more he tries to keep the ever-surprising woman alive and find her a good match, the more Jasper realizes he cares for her. This is the third book in the series but is easily read ob its own. It’s another well written, well paced story. The characters have plenty of depth but whilst I enjoyed the book I didn't love it. I liked Jasper & Frederica & liked how they came to care for each other, the path from friends to lovers was well handled. There was intrigue as well as romance, it had everything which I love in a book but for some reason that I can't put my finger on it didn't keep me enthralled from cover to cover. My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

this book is interestingly plotted. i would have liked more character developent and detail. sometimes the action jumped around too quickly without enough explanation and background creation. it took me too much concentration to keep up. i read primarily to escape and if i have to try too hard to follow the action it is very distracting.

A story of the difficulties life came bring and the way to happiness. Frederica Burghley is in search of a husband before her father finds one for her. Advertising in the paper seemed the logical place to start. Unfortunately it brought out a scary response with threats to her life. She goes to her friend, Jasper who has two children and is a widower. But he ends up doing more than just protecting her, she wants him to help her find a suitable husband! Whats a man to do? Keeping her safe from a dangerous man and caring for her more than he wants, he tries to hold back his affections. After all, he has not gotten over the dead of his wife. This was really a very sweet romance that is part of the Advertisements for Love series. Amusing and heartwarming you will be swept up into the Victoria era and will not want to turn the last page. Although this is part of a series, it can be read as a standalone.
