A Rogue of Her Own by Grace Burrowes
4.0
4 stars
I received an e-ARC copy of A Rouge of Her Own from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Lucas Sherbourne and Charlotte Windham met at a house party in [b:No Other Duke Will Do|34523598|No Other Duke Will Do (Windham Brides, #3)|Grace Burrowes|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1492217247s/34523598.jpg|55658023]. Lucas was actually cast the villain for most the book but he and Charlotte had sparks. It has been some months and Charlotte and Lucas meet again at a garden party where he saves her from an awful marriage proposal. After contemplating the business of marriage between the two of them, a merger is formed and completed.
I actually really enjoyed this book. Charlotte is very interesting when she is not motherhenning her sisters. She just really wants to be useful and doesn't feel that way in her family. Especially because the ways she feels most useful, with numbers and management, isn't very often needed. Lucas is very straight forward, which I liked. If he has a question he asks it. No ranging around making foolish assumptions. So most of this story focuses Lucas and Charlotte's efforts to make this sudden marriage work. They don't know each other very well so it is a pleasure to watch them fall in love.
I really did love that most of this story took place in Wales, away from all the Windhams and with just a couple repeat characters from Elizabeth's book. I liked Charlotte figure things out. I adored seeing the friendship blossom between Haverford, Randor and Sherbourne. Turnbull was back as well.
This is Grace Burrows at her best with lovely complex characters, romance with just the right amount of heat, the best kind of well meaning, everybody involved family relationships, and drama that never becomes too much. So overall is was great.
