4.0

Much Ado about a Widow is the fourth book in The Widows’ Club series, but it was fine as a standalone. The book had a good plot, lots of drama, and twists. Lady Georgina “Georgie” Kirkpatrick had escaped marriage to Lord Travers but now that she is widowed, she agrees to marry him in order to be reunited with her father. On the way to her home her carriage is highjacked and when she escapes, she runs into Lord Robin St. Just. Robin decides the only way to keep Georgie safe is to take her to his home in Cornwall. But with Lord Blackham and Lord Travers following them they must act upon their newly discovered love and get married before she is forced to marry Lord Travers. I thought the book dragged a little in some parts, but it was interesting. I would have preferred reading more about the main characters courtship rather than all the side characters, but overall it was a fun book full of adventure and drama.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book seemed to have all the elements of good story...kidnapping, pirates, and duels. However, the book at times seemed a bit dragged out and over the top. I liked the characters but found some story elements unbelievable.
I received an ARC for my honest review.
