Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Blog Tour, Inkslinger PR, NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.
Marie Force is a go to author for me, so when I found out she was trying a new genre, I was excited to see the spin she would put on it. Add in the fact that I also enjoy historical reads, this was something I had to try.
Her debut foray into a historical romance is fun and fresh. I wouldn’t call this a full-fledged historical romance, but a nice hybrid between historical and classic Ms Force. Derek and Catherine are slightly unconventional by post Victorian era standards. The story telling is also sexier than I would expect for a historical read of this time period (not that I consider that a bad thing!)
Catherine and Derek are entertaining characters and I very much enjoyed their instant connection and evolving love story. The secondary story line for Simon and Madeline was a nice bonus and I appreciated the way a support network was created for our fledgling couples. Add in elements of intrigue, illness, and forgiveness and you have a well-rounded, unique read.

Book Blurb:
In New York Times bestselling author Marie Force’s dazzling historical romance debut, the clock is ticking for a wealthy Duke who must marry by his thirtieth birthday—or lose his title…
Derek Eagan, the dashing Duke of Westwood, is well aware of his looming deadline. But weary of tiresome debutantes, he seeks a respite at his country home in Essex—and encounters a man digging on his property. Except he’s not a man. He’s a very lovely woman. Who suddenly faints at his feet.
Catherine McCabe’s disdain for the aristocracy has already led her to flee an arranged marriage with a boorish Viscount. The last thing she wants is to be waylaid in a Duke’s home. Yet, she is compelled to stay by the handsome, thoughtful man who introduces himself as the Duke’s estate manager.
Derek realizes two things immediately: he is captivated by her delicate beauty, and to figure out what she was up to, Catherine must not know he is the Duke. But as they fall passionately in love, Derek’s lie spins out of control. Will their bond survive his deception, not to mention the scorned Viscount’s pursuit? Most important, can Catherine fall in love all over again—this time with the Duke?
“…Force has crafted a masterpiece with the perfect amount of romance.” —Starred Review from Publisher’s Weekly
