Charity (Distinguished Rogues #3) by Heather Boyd – There was a lot more drama that I had guessed, but this was a fun historical romance! Happy Reading!

I am reading the whole serie in a row.
This one was slightly less enjoyable than the others. There was a lot of sex and lust, which deterred from actually feeling the love. The H also took a very long time to even consider marriage with the h.

Definitely not my favourite. A good way to past the time though. Agatha Birkenstock has a big heart and she is in love with the boy next door. The boy next door being Oscar Ryall, Lord Carrington. So, not much of a boy really. Except, he really hurt her. Broke her heart is a better term for it. He was caught in a compromising position with another lady, but it was all a misunderstanding. However, he can’t say the real reason why his clothes are all rumpled, he’d ruin Agatha’s reputation. So, he finds himself engaged. Agatha is of course heart broken. Oscar feels duty bound to marry this girl. His heart is obviously not in it but he can’t figure a way out without causing a scandal. He does however, have the audacity to ask Agatha to be his mistress, which she refuses. When reading his view point we find out that was his plan all along because she is only a merchants daughter. So, he’s a bit of a dick really. Okay. A massive dick. Agatha was always under the impression that they would be married, he heavily pursued her and never gave any other inclination.
He does love her. But he didn’t want to marry her, and now he cannot because he is betrothed to someone else. He really did annoy me in this whole situation. He can’t expect to have his cake and eat it too. Obviously it’s a story but he just really frustrated me. He still wants to try and have a tumble with her whilst betrothed to someone else. Honestly. Men. He does redeem himself later on though.
Agatha has a very good distraction, she has the orphanage. I enjoyed this part. It’s lovely how she dedicated her time to these little children. You could feel her care for them and, their love for her. It definitely brought the storyline together for me. She also realised that she couldn’t have a scandal because it might interfere with the orphanage and the people that run it would probably refuse her access.
Was drawn in by Boyd’s writing yet again, even though I personally did not get on with the hero, her writing skills cannot be denied. She just always writes in such vivid detail, her stories are fantastic on that front.
