(Rogues to Riches #5)
Robert is the current Duke of Rothhaven. However, his rise to dukedom was by far, not normal. Plagued with epilepsy, Robert leads a quite life, peculiar to that of a duke. He patiently waits for his secret to come out, and his competency challenged. What he doesn’t expect is running into Lady Constance Wentworth, a friend from his past, and a woman who he hopes will be an ally. Constance has her own buried secrets and works hard to stay in the shadows, but when she meets up with an old friend, she can’t help but dream of a happier life. Will these two be able to help one another, or will their pasts destroy them and their families?
Grace Burrowes worked magic with the story. Each of the characters were incredibly real and the scenes unfolded like a movie. The is the first time I have read her work, but it won’t be the last. I did not feel like I missed anything by not reading the previous books. The author gives insight into the medical treatments of epilepsy, as well as the courtroom legalities of mental competence. Readers will want to add this title to their must-read list.
I absolutely loved this book. Historical romance is not one of my go-to genres, however Grace Burrowes has thoroughly surprised me. I learned so much, while reading this book. I enjoyed how real Robert’s character is, and the struggles he has to maintain daily routines. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, which will include a character with a leg injury,
