You have the mysterious and mildly reclusive half-Arab Marquess of Brandon (Alexander Worthington) posing as a footman in the home of Roger and Rose Fleming. The Flemings run a surveying and map making enterprise in London, and Alex is on the hunt for proof that they purposely redrew the boundaries for his estate, which has deprived his tenants from longstanding access to a water source. A Palestinian man trying to get his land back from the scheming Brits - LOVE it. On top of that, society rumors abound regarding Brandon's supposed harem of women, when in reality...Roger Fleming is the one engaging in bigamy! (Kind of, but it's a BIG plot point.) Quincy is so great at taking these concepts and racial stereotypes and flipping them on their side. Rose and Alex develop chemistry through their close proximity as footman x lady of the house. Overall, it was a whole lot of fun just like the first two books in the series.
Tropes / narrative elements of note:
- deception / secret identity
- mystery subplot
- class difference
- humor (especially from side characters!)
- interconnected, but could standalone
- taking back what's yours

I enjoyed the plot of this romance, which includes external drama and social pressures in addition to the love story. The pacing was a bit mixed for me, sometimes shifting into warp speed and other times meandering. While the romance was perfectly fine, I was more taken with Rose's journey to live a happy life both professionally and personally. Many exciting moments kept me curious and attentive. This is a fun read that historical romance readers will devour. Thanks to Avon for my copy to read and review!

Since we first met the mysterious Marquess of Brandon in Her Night with the Duke, I’ve been dying to get his story and learn more about him! Diana Quincy delivered with The Marquess Makes His Move. It’s a bit of a wild ride, but it was a ride I enjoyed being on.
