Product Description
For fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Sabrina Jeffries: the seductively charming second historical romance in Isabella Bradford’s Breconridge Brothers trilogy.
Lord Geoffrey Fitzroy leads a charmed existence. As the second son of the Duke of Breconridge, he has none of the responsibilities of his older brother and all of the advantages, leaving handsome Geoffrey free to enjoy his rakish pursuits. And pursue them he does, leaving hearts fluttering all over London. But one night, at a ball teeming with high society’s most sought-after beauties, only one truly intrigues him: the regal, aloof, and mysterious Miss Serena Palmer.
Magnificently dressed and wearing jewels befitting a queen, the lady is considered the prize of the season, a noble-born heiress raised in India. But even as Geoffrey’s fascination grows, Serena deftly deflects his curiosity—and with good reason: Serena’s exotic past contains a perilous secret that could destroy her. Yet her plan to live in safe solitude is thwarted by her hungry heart, and soon Geoffrey’s passionate seduction finds her blissfully bed—and wed. Will her deception destroy her chance at happiness as Geoffrey’s wife? Or will the devotion of her new husband reveal the only truth worth embracing: her undying love?

Though I usually won't read books out of sequence, it did not diminish my enjoyment of this book one bit. I will go back and read book one as Gus and Harry's romance obviously had it's ups and down too and I enjoyed their addition to the story.
Serena grew up in India and the flashbacks of her life there were an awesome addition to the story-line. I do wish that we hadn't learned Serena's secret quite so early in the book. I think it would have added to the suspense to have it come out later in the book. I love seeing if I can figure it out before the author reveals it.
The fact that Geoffrey and Serena both had no intentions of marrying
added to the sexual tension as fate intervened to push these two together. It was obvious that they loved one another and I loved how supportive of Serena that Geoffrey was.
The descriptions of the elaborate clothing, parties, food, and homes were fabulous. I so love to "see" these while enjoying a good read. I don't think I've read as many historicals romances from the 1770's as I have from the 1800's and this was a welcome change. I'll definitely pick up book three when it comes out in June.
