Wetherby Brides, Book 5...

Setting: Regency England
Sensuality: Warm (7)

Grace Clarke is no longer willing to accept the position of "poor relations." Her sister has married well and taken her under her wing, so with her new connections, it ought to be a breeze to find a wealthy, titled gentleman to help elevate her station in life. Of course, she never expects for him to find her. Especially not in such a compromising position. But once she gets over her humiliation, she discovers that the duke next door is far more than just a duke. He's a man that sets her heart--and other parts of her--aflame.

Evan Gilford, Duke of Somerset, has spent the last fifteen years trying to avoid his destiny: marriage. But he can't ignore his duty anymore, not with his guilty conscience nagging at him all the bloody time and a betrothed waiting to become his duchess. So he returns to London, only to discover that he has a new and rather enchanting neighbor who soon makes him question where his loyalties lie: with his family or his heart.

About the Author

USA Today Best Selling Author, Jerrica Knight-Catania, knew from an early age that she was destined for romance. She would spend hours as a young girl sitting in a chair by an open window, listening to the rain, and dreaming of the day Prince Charming would burst in and declare his undying love for her. But it wasn't until she was 28-years-old, tired of her life in the theater, that she turned her focus toward writing Regency Romance novels. All her dreaming paid off, and she now gets to relive those romantic scenes she'd dreamt up as a child as she commits them to paper. She lives in sunny Palm Beach with her real life Prince Charming, their Princess-in-training and their fur-baby, Pumpkin!

I started reading this series in the middle with a free copy of book 3. I have since purchased the rest in the series and am now going to hunt down other books by this Author. This series was an easy read and a quick one at that. Each book is a story on it's own, with a start, middle and ending, but also connects to the other stories by it's characters. Nothing annoys me more than reading a story that has been chopped up into multiple books in order to call it a series. THIS is how a series is done!

First time with this auther! The book was good..I loved the chemistry they had..at first I didn't care for the duke because he felt he had to do the right thing and stick to his betrothed contract, wich he left for 15 years and didn't care..but circumstances brought him back to england and he feels he needs to go through with the marriage (even though he doesn't love her) let's just say he can take a women's virginity but that doesn't bother him to do the"right" thing and Mary her because he has to stick with this marriage contract....at first to me he was not your typical duke.. most dukes are womanizer's , gamblers and bark orders... let's just say he let his mamma tell him what to do...but the book was really good and it had Witty banter and lol moments....with a couple love scenes, good but they were a little to mellow for me, descriptive to some others ....I like my love scene's more erotic type ..but other than that this book I would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Roller Coaster That I Would Ride Again
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2014

Growing up the daughter of a pig farmer, Grace Clark is very much aware of her rank among the ton. That, however, does not stop her dreaming about capturing the heart of a Duke. After two Seasons in London, she desires nothing more than to prove that she is so much more than a Wetherby "poor relation". She longs for love and adventure, and perhaps the returned affection of a certain high-born neighbor.

Fifteen years in Paris has given Evan Gillford, Duke of Somerset, plenty of worldly experience, and a great big dose of guilt. Guilt for abandoning his sister to the marriage machinations of their mother. Guilt for not being there when his father died. Guilt for leaving his betrothed to grow past the age of marriageability while he avoided marriage all together. Now he has returned home to assume all of his cast-off responsibilities. Unfortunately, one glimpse over a garden wall has his heart calling for a full retreat. Can he still do the right thing and marry the woman he is promised to when he can't stop thinking about the eavesdropper next door?

This story caught me off guard in many ways. Every time Grace had a chance to react in a way a high-born lady would react the reader is reminded that she is NOT a high-born lady. She reacts how we free-thinking, "common" women would react in a similar situation. I found myself second guessing her as I would second guess myself because I am not used to a heroine not doing the "civilized" thing. All of this made me want to be her friend more than any other heroine I have come across recently.

After you read this story you will feel the same way about Evan that I do, I am positive. Evan is a spineless, clueless tool! He lets himself be used by the people around him and doesn't consider that ,because of his rank, his attitude of compliance is dangerous. While, in most cases, having an unlikable hero can be literary suicide, the author pulls off a miracle by actually allowing the character to grow up and become likable.

I think the biggest element that really shook this book up was resolving the love story three-quarters of the way through the book, and then resolving another, very important, story line with the rest of the book. This was such a gutsy move, and I believe it was pulled off with flair.

Overall, this story took me on a roller coaster ride with the perfect number of loops, spins, and dips, and then threw a last minute twist in that ensured I would come back for more.

It was okay. I don't plan to read the next one. Lots of sex, not sure I was crazy about the duke. Didn't really LOVE the leading lady.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bride series
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2015

I loved reading the entire bride series. I am sad it's over. The entire series is a delightful look at a world that no longer exists.

The characters are well written, funny,enchanting and at times colourful. You can't help cheering, jeering, laughing and crying with them,as they weave their way through the series.

Only thing left to say in parody of Charles Dickens character Oliver Twist is : "Please Miss , can we have some more" ( Tales about the Wetherby family , that is )

This is a very good end to the Wetherby series. The marriage of Grace, Chloe's younger sister, is a tale of suspense. She has planned to marry a Duke, so, when their neighbor returns,she falls for him. Only he is engaged. How can she make him see what he really wants?

The Dukes personality was so contradictory & frustrating, I couldn't stand being around him...so HAD TO close the book!! Pity, because the story line had potential, it was just the "hero" of the story that let it down...way down!!!
