I was looking for a cry-worthy HR book, cause you know, life's so boring nowadays that I missed crying. And this was one of the recs I've got.
A love story about a Duke and his knight in rusty armor, literally speaking. Alexandra is an innocent and naive country girl with skills that could burst a man's ego and with that very skills, tied her into a marriage of convenience to the notorious rake of London. The girl quickly got infatuated by his charms but they're budding romance had been interrupted by the death of the Duke. Of course he wasn't really dead, he came back alive like Taylor Swift in Speak Now, ending her wife's second marriage in convenience to his cousin and heir.
From the year he's been gone, she transformed into a beautiful woman who now knows he's not the idea of a person she fell in love with in the 4 days they've been married. Despite of all the misunderstandings and angst, they hit it off. There were only 50 pages left then, and I'm confused why I still haven't cried. But Alas, I'm enjoying it and that's all that matters, please just end it here.
But then the Duke got a lead that his cousin with his wife is the suspect of all his near death assassinations. He suddenly ignored her and treated her like a puppy he doesn't really want in the house anymore. And that didn't end there, during the birthday surprise they planned for him, coincidences happened that made him pull her hair, shout her that she's a murderous bitch and throw her like sack of waste. Then the villain finally had a line and you betcha, she protected him, yet again. I said, okay, if I'm Alexandra I can still forgive him, but HELL NU-UH to the question of mending the marriage. I was aghast when the doctor said he'd done all he could to save her but she's beyond hope and reach, and I was like WHAT! they're really killing her in the last 5 pages? But of course not, she's just in coma, the doctor was just capital DRAMATIC and probably just want to say those words.
Then I got pumped up cause a reader says this is the part that made them cry like a babe—The Duke beg his wife to wake up, whispers l-words and sweet nothings, and threatened to throw her family out and marry the girl she hates if she doesn't wake up- well that sure did the trick. From this point, which was 2 pages left, my expectation still did not ceased. I thought she'll finally go for the divorce she asked him in the past. But from now, we all know this book kept breaking my expectations, so what the hell... they all live HEA.

I clearly enjoyed this but not enough to remember what it was 4 months after reading it.
my least favourite among the Sequel trilogy but still one of the top period romance books!
Rating~ 3.5 - 4ish stars
This is my third trying something from Judith … last two times I tired … and I dnf’d it both times. I’m glad I gave this a shot though. While I’m uncertain if I’ll try other books by the author in the future, I did enjoy this and the couple.
Jordan and Alex are literal opposites from class to temperament but they both can’t help and fall in love with each other. Alex was lovely, truly and deserves an award for being with her crazy ass husband. Not to say he didn’t love her, he did, he loved her as the 17th year girl that saved his life (even though he didn’t realise it then) and the woman she now, the duchess of Hawthrone.
Quibble: Before the epilogue, I wanted him to grovel…I wanted Alex to make him suffer a bit, because seriously I understand the author wanted angst but maybe it should have been something that didn’t make me want to smack Jordan. It was annoying, I was annoyed and I’m annoyed again just thinking about it.
