Rogue Most Wanted (The Cavensham Heiresses #5) by Janna MacGregor. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


There’s one creed all Cavensham men subscribe to: they fall in love completely and decidedly. But what happens when the woman you fall in love with swears she'll only marry you as a last resort? Rogue Most Wanted is the next book in the sparkling, romantic Cavensham Heiress series by Janna MacGregor.

SHE NEEDS TO MARRY SOMEONE

Lady Theodora Worth needs to marry fast in order to keep her estate. It’s been her heart and home for years, and she’ll not lose it to anyone. There’s just one problem—as a woman who was raised in isolation by her grandfather, she’s completely incapable of pouring a cup of tea, never mind wooing a man. She’ll need a little matchmaking help from her sprightly next-door neighbor in order to find a convenient husband…

IT’S JUST NOT GOING TO BE HIM

Lord William Cavensham’s heart was broken years ago, and since that day he vowed to never love again. But his spirited Great Aunt Stella is determined he’ll marry or not inherit a single penny from her. And she’s got just the woman in mind—her beautiful and completely hapless next-door neighbor, Thea…


Thea and Will agree there’s no sense in marrying each other. Will wholeheartedly believes he’s incapable of love, and Thea refuses to marry the first man she’s practically met. But Will may be the rogue Thea wants the most after all…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


Lady Theodora Worth only had her grandfather as family and he had a terrible last few years. 
The staff helped her hide his health problems from the world. Now he's gone and she should inherit the Scottish title of Countess and the lands that go with it.  Unfortunately a distant cousin who inherits the English title and the rest of the lands is not satisfied with his share.  She needs to call on an elderly neighbour for help. 
Lord William Cavensham suffered heartbreak when he was young and has burried himself in his work for his large and loving family ever since.  When his darling aunt Stella calls for him urgently, he doesn't hesitate. 
This is a very emotional story and you will need a box of tissues.  Our strong,  intelligent but naive heroine needs to brave the big bad city of London and the rumours that are circulating about her.  Our hero is kind and helpful but is not going to make the sacrifice his aunt wants. 
There are lots of fabulous characters in this story,  some of which you might have met in previous books in the series.  Each book can be read on it's own .
I loved it and others the I've read.

The Good, the Bad, and the Duke (The Cavensham Heiresses #4) by Janna MacGregor. Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.

Add To


A lady with a noble mission. A duke looking for redemption. A forbidden love that cannot be denied… 

Lady Daphne Hallworth is ready to celebrate the holidays with her family. But when they accidentally leave her home alone, Daphne uses the time to work on her dream—opening a home for unwed mothers. But her quest isn’t problem-free: She’s in a battle to win the property for the home against her brother’s best friend-turned-enemy, Paul Barstowe, Duke of Southart. And that’s not all: someone has stolen her personal diary, which holds secrets that could devastate her family. Daphne has always harbored private feelings for the man her family scorns…though perhaps striking a bargain with the handsome Duke will solve both their problems?

Paul, long considered good for nothing, aims to open a hospital to honor his brother and restore his reputation. So when a conflict over the land brings him straight into Daphne’s life, they make a deal: He will help her find her diary if Daphne can change her family’s opinion of him. But before he can win her family’s affection, he has to win hers first. Maybe love was the answer to their family feud all along?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



Lady Daphne Hallworth is twenty-five years old and has resigned herself to being a spinster.  She has had offers but wanted none of them.  Because she is wealthy in her own right and has a loving family there is no need for a husband.  What Lady Daphne wants most is to open a home for unwed mothers, to protect them from what happened to her sister. 
Lord Paul Barstowe has recently become a Duke after the deaths of his brother then his father.  He loved his brother and wants to build a hospital in his name for people suffering from the same ailments.  Unfortunately he spent most of his life aggravating his father and proving he was the bad son.  Now he has to earn back his respectability.  Notes from his father delivered deliberately after his death do nothing to help his self-worth. 
An emotional and saucy historical romance with very lovable characters.  Our heroine has lost something very precious to her,  but potentially dangerous to her family and will risk anything to get it back.  Our hero is much too hard on himself for things that where beyond his control. 
You will laugh and cry while reading this. 
It is part of a series but easily read on it's own.  It will however tempt you to read the previous books in the series.  I hope there are at least two more coming.  (Maybe set in Northumberland)
I loved it.

Add To


Family secrets, mistaken identities…love and money make people do crazy things in The Luck of the Bride, the third Cavensham Heiresses novel.

March Lawson has never had much luck, and in a desperate move to save her family, she's been posing as the Marquess of McCalpin. But when she's summoned to a meeting with the Marquess himself, March expects jail time…not to be bewitched by dark hair and sapphire eyes.

Michael Cavensham, the Marquess of McCalpin and heir to the Duke of Langham, finds himself drawn to March despite the judgments from his peers. He isn't sure he can trust March, especially since Michael has a secret that could ruin him and his family.

But society conspires to keep March and Michael apart, and when March is accused of not being who she says she is, will Michael toss her aside or fight for the woman he's come to love?

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Miss March Lawson had to grow up very quickly.  Her parents died suddenly and left her with three young children to protect.  Years later when she is struggling to make ends meet,  there is one last thing she can try. 
Michael Cavensham,  the Marquess of McCalpin has a terrible secret that he has kept hidden from everyone except his brother.  That secret makes him feel vulnerable and at times unworthy of his birthright. 
Theft is theft,  even if it's a small amount,  but if the money should be yours anyway does that count??? 
This is an emotional romance with both our characters dealing with uncomfortable issues.  When someone sets out to profit from the troubles our poor heroine faces,  it could destroy a whole family.  Our hero needs to dace up to his difficulties before they ruin everything. 
A fascinating story that will have you crying and laughing. 
I loved it.

The Bride Who Got Lucky (The Cavensham Heiresses #2) by Janna MacGregor Historical Romance Release & ARC Review.


Add To


He would do anything to protect her. Even marry her… 

The son of a cold-hearted duke, Nicholas St. Mauer isn’t one to involve himself in society…or open his own heart to anyone. But driven by honor, the reclusive Earl of Somerton feels obliged to keep a watchful eye on Lady Emma Cavensham. She possesses a penchant for passions unbecoming a woman that finds Nick in constant peril of losing his well-structured solitude. She even dared kiss Nick once―an utterly unladylike, and delightful, lapse…

Emma can’t deny the appeal of the earl’s attention, and occasional affection, but she has no need for a man. There are worse fates than spinsterhood, as Emma knows too well. She still mourns the loss of her dear friend Lena, and is determined to prove Lena’s husband responsible for her death before he lures another innocent woman into a brutal marriage. But as Emma pursues her prey, a compromising moment upends all her plans. Now, with gossip swirling and her reputation in tatters, Nick may be the only man brave enough to join in Emma’s cause. . .and fight for her heart.
 

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟



Nicholas St. Mauer,  the Earl of Somerton has worked very hard to make his own fortune.  The ton might look down on him for going into trade,  but it means everything to him to succeed.
Lady Emma Cavensham is desperately sad over the death of her best friend.  She blames herself for not protecting her.  She is determined never to marry and lose control over her life. 
Both our hero and heroine have very strong ideas on what they expect from themselves and their lives.  Unfortunately for our heroine women of her time don't always get a choice. 
This is quite an emotional story where you will be totally drawn in to the characters lives.  I expect there will be other stories to follow because the secondary characters we met are well worth hearing more from. 
A thoroughly entertaining read.

The Bad Luck Bride (The Cavensham Heiresses) by Janna MacGregor. Release & ARC Review.



Jacket Copy:
All were shocked at the announcement of the “cursed” Lady Claire Cavensham to Lord Alexander Hallworth, the Marquess of Pembrooke, especially since she is already engaged to another unfortunate Lord. Perhaps she will make it to the altar this time with one of these fine gentlemen! —Midnight Cryer

No one is left breathless at the imperious pronouncement of her engagement to Lord Pembrooke more than Claire. She hardly knows the dangerously outrageous man! But after three engagements gone awry and a fourth going up in glorious flames, she isn’t in a position to refuse...

Alexander requires the hand of his enemy’s fiancée in marriage in order to complete his plans for revenge. It’s his good fortune that the “cursed” woman is desperate. However, what begins as a sham turns into something scandalously deeper...

“Full-bodied romance...with intelligence and heart."—Cathy Maxwell

"Captivating characters and a romance that sizzles."—Eloisa James 
"Will leave you swooning."—Sabrina Jeffries

The Bad Luck Bride is the first in a new Regency romance series from Janna MacGregor!


🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟


Alexander Hallworth the Marquess of Pembrooke is determined to have vengeance against the man who caused his sister to commit suicide.  He will take everything from him,  including the heiress he is planing to marry.
Lady Claire Cavensham, and most of polite society believe she is under a curse.  She has been betrothed three times.  It always ends in disaster. If she wants a family of her own,  it must work out this time.
Our characters have all got to learn to leave the past behind or it may destroy the future.

This is a wonderful story full of emotion and unexpected twists.  Our author certainly knows how to keep our attention throughout.  Lovely strong characters and a fascinating tale.  This is the start of a series that I will definitely be reading more of.
