Didn't enjoy the conflict in this but the characters were great and the love story excellent overall even if the drama and resolution were a bit of a head scratcher.

A nice romance audiobook from Grace Burrowes. This is book 4 of the series. I haven't read books 2 and 3, but that's okay. The characters from book 3 do play a role in this story, but it's a not a big deal. I'll just go back and read that book.
Lucas Sherbourne is a wealthy businessman who had been bullied by aristocratic kids when he was in school. This made him resent, and also in a weird way, envy the nobility. He offered marriage to Charlotte Windham, last of the Windham sisters to be unmarried. He likes her spunk and intelligence. He also likes her family connections. Lucas has a new business venture, a coal mine, that he knows will bring jobs to his town. I like the partnership between Lucas and Charlotte. They married without knowing much about each other. So, they are still getting to know each other.
Overall it's a good romance. I like this more than book #1. It's a nice, light audiobook to listen to while doing some holiday baking.

Absolute favorite trope: characters get married early in the story and spend the rest of the book figuring each other out. Love Grace Burrowes!
