It's a clash of the classes in this beauty and the geek Regency romance that's "fun, flirty and just a little nerdy," and an instant USA Today bestseller. (BookPage)
Wrexham, Duke of Elsmore, is overrun by family obligations. With three sisters to escort about Town, a legion of cousins to look after, and aunties who insist he dance with every eligible young woman, he barely has time to manage his dukedom. When he finally carves out a moment to evaluate his family's finances, he learns that he -- and his sisters -- are on the verge of social catastrophe.
Eleanora Hatfield has an uncanny knack for numbers, but she knows from experience that dealing with the peerage can only lead to problems. Though she wants nothing to do with any titled gentleman, she reluctantly agrees to help when Rex seeks aid from her employer. What starts out as an unwanted assignment soon leads to forbidden kisses and impossible longings. But with scandal haunting Ellie's past and looming in Rex's future, how can true love lead to anything but heartbreak?
Includes the bonus story "The Lady in Red" by Kelly Bowen!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I started writing as an antidote to empty nest and soon found it an antidote to life in general. I am the sixth out of seven children, and was raised in the rural surrounds of central Pennsylvania. Early in life I spent a lot of time reading romance novels and practicing the piano. My first career was as a technical writer and editor in the Washington, DC, area, a busy profession that nonetheless left enough time to read a lot of romance novels.

It also left enough time to grab a law degree through an evening program, produce Beloved Offspring (only one, but she is a lion), and eventually move to the lovely Maryland countryside.

While reading yet still more romance novels (there is a trend here) I opened a law practice, acquired a master's degree in Conflict Transformation (I had a teenage daughter by then) and started thinking about writing.... romance novels. This aim was realized when Beloved Offspring struck out into the Big World. ("Mom, why doesn't anybody tell you being a grown-up is hard?")

I eventually got up the courage to start pitching manuscripts to agents and editors. The query letter that resulted in "the call" started out: "I am the buffoon in the bar at the writer's retreat who could not keep her heroines straight, could not look you in the eye, and could not stop blushing--and if that doesn't narrow down the possibilities, your job is even harder than I thought." (The dear lady bought the book anyway.)

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected….
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024

So many reviewers (you know who you are…😉) had issues with this GB book. Therefore, I went into reading it just to keep up with the series. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Not that it was perfect, but I rarely rate Ms. Burrowes less than 5 stars because her writing is supremely intelligent and liberally seasoned with dry humor. Bottom line: I enjoy reading her writing.
The major complaints I read were 1) the extra book at the end, also not my favorite thing. And 2) the rushed ending. The extra book I feel can be attributed to her publisher but the rushed ending is kind of a Grace Burrowes trademark. I think of Ms. Burrowes as “she of very few Epilogues…” and I am a reader who dearly loves an epilogue. She does give you updates on characters in subsequent books, though. So there is that… The third complaint: a few readers didn’t feel a spark between the main characters and I get that. But I did feel a spark of chemistry and emotional intimacy. Ms. Burrowes did what she does best-letting her main characters heal each other through honesty and love.
In this story the Duke has crooked relations and so does Ellie. They both have to deal with these issues and I really love how GB shows you each character’s true colors.
All in all, I’m really glad I took a chance on this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable Tale - Sick of Junk at the end!
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2022

I enjoyed the story of Elmsmore & Eleanor. They grew together, opened their eyes and minds and hearts in increments that made sense for their character and the story. The secondary characters were well done; no fiendish cartoon villains or dark arts in the sewers both of which have been done to death, thank you very much. The conflicts were reasonable, the violations of propriety skimmed over but not excessively so. The hand wave for the sake of romance was tolerable for the most part though it skated close to the edge for me, personally. The ending was so abrupt I had whiplash. GoodGawdAlmighty, the declarations and rest of their life [with a nod to Seven Children] was not even a full page if you read in default font on a computer screen. WHY?! O because the book was at 67% and we must be served a peek at the Next Book AND a Bonus Novella. Yes, that sound you heard was my casting up my accounts and seriously contemplating NOT reading the rest of the series after enduring this Twice in one series. Be warned the last chapter is not satisfying. The dithering was elongated, the resolution so abrupt and matter of fact it could've taken place half a dozen chapters before and Elmsmore and Eleanor could've carried on as a couple with endearing teasers for the rest of their happily ever after, just mentioning.

That Said....

Dear Overworked Admins of Publishing Companies that get stuck reading these reviews and compiling a spreadsheet of 'themes' and 'tones' of comments [if indeed there is still a live person or two that does so and it is not all AI and algorhythms now]: Novellas suit many readers. These readers look purposely for Novellas. Their time available while raising children, working or being in a season of life needing to squeeze a good read in before bedtime demands complete, couple hour read.

There are Other Readers that prefer a Complete Book of more than 300 pages that takes time to develop not only main characters, romance and plots without holes larger than the stack of books in the series, but also secondary characters, glimpses of future books [if you must insist on series instead of stand alone novels]. We, the Other Readers, do not need a 'teaser' at the expense of the story we've paid for. We sure as heck do not feel the need to scroll on to a novella that has nothing to do with the, hopefully, sigh of delight ending we just read. We do not care that your marketing department insists both of these ploys increase sales and reader's sensibilities be'dammd. It is little better than the phishers with their email scams promising a Great Fortune if only we send our bank info to them immediately. It is insulting and I'd slap someone's face with my lace glove if I knew who came up with this annoying trend! I have no statistics but I know I NEVER read the teaser for the 'next book' OR the novellas. Not Once have I been tempted to do so. I beg you to pass on this sentiment to your superiors, co-workers and authors. Thank you for your time.

Witty dialogue, steamy romance. Perfect escape read for those who enjoy Regency era novels. Description of era is well done. A bonus novella (about 150 pages) is included: Lady in Red by Kelly Bowen is equally delightful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wanted more Burrowes magic
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2019

Unfortunately publishers are pushing a trend of stuffing paperbacks with lengthy novellas. While I adore Kelly Bowen's writing, I end up with a Burrowes novel that feels like the ending is rushed + the abrupt end to make room for Bowen's novella left my reader's brain reeling. I would have happily enjoyed a more protracted ending to the Burrowes book to enjoy more time with characters I've been waiting for forever, then paid again to get a more fleshed out version of Bowen's story. It's not like either author is a minor light needing dragging along by the others. After the last spate of two too short stories crammed into one volume, I'm seriously considering giving up on buying books with more than one author crammed in. I invested hours of my time falling in love with the Burrowes characters only to have the door abruptly slammed in my face and someone else shoved at me as a "bonus" It does neither author any favors. It feels like having the lead marathon runner pulled from the race a mile short of the finish line and a famous sprinter shoved in their place as a "bonus" to finish things. This story was too darned good to be cut short and crammed into the page count allowed by the publisher. Call me frustrated. I want a book to go all the way to the last pages, darn it, not slam to a stop with 1/4 of the pages left to go!

My advice is to mark the page the Burrowes novel stops before you begin reading so you won't be disappointed. Again, both stories are excellent. It's just that they could have been absolutely breathtaking if not shoved in together cheek by jowl.

All the good things in terms of storyline , characters and humour that I have come to expect from this author are here; the “but”which stopped 5 stars is because whilst I have learned to live with American spellings the reference to American football characteristics in an English Regency period novel was a step too far!
