A Lady's Prerogative by Annabelle Anders
5.0
This was the first book of Annabelle Anders' that I have read, but it most definitely will not be the last! How much did I love it? I highlighted probably half the book! For real, I was laughing, crying, and swooning the entire time I read, refusing to even put the book down to eat. I loved this book so much I plan to read book one this weekend and then read this book all over again!
A Lady's Prerogative has so many of my favorite things. First, a determined young woman that doesn't want to be forced into a loveless marriage. She broke off her engagement in book one, accepting that there would be consequences, because she believed them to be worth the price of her happiness! When a handsome rake, (a friend of her brother's and business acquaintance to her father) attends an extended gathering at her family's home, sparks fly. Is he really a rake, or just a man who's been hurt so badly he's hardened his heart to love?
The push and pull between these two was exquisite. Their banter was lively, often times humorous, and always heart-felt. Beyond the fantastic chemistry between this couple, I particularly loved the attention paid to the plot surrounding Lord Hawthorne's heritage, especially given that his father had been quite mad towards the end of his life.
Five bright, shiny stars from this reader! If I could give it more, I would! Lady Spencer and Lord Hawthorne offered each other the freedom to make choices, which is the most perfect kind of love in my book!
I think the perfect quote to sum up this book is the following:
"It's just the irony of the situation is, in truth, rather magnificent. You have what I want, and I have what you want. In order for either of us to obtain what we want, we must sacrifice some of what we already have."
