I would like to thank Kate Archer, Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley for giving a small and new bookstagrammer and blogger the opportunity to read and review this book before its publication.
The Lord’s Desperate Pledge is a story of enemies-to-lovers, a secret identity, gambling, kidnapping, pistols and a desperate pledge. This historical romance is positively sweet, entertaining and a pleasure to read.
Lord Ashworth is condescending and provoking; however, he is also resilient and has perfected his skill of piquet in order to keep his family’s estate afloat. Miss Lily Farnsworth is headstrong, defiant and an incredibly skilled piquet player, who is determined to make Lord Ashworth regret his condescending language.
Lily and Lord Ashworth’s relationship starts off as prickled, defiant and infuriating, which really adds to the playfulness and excitement of this book, keeping the reader hooked. However, there is a turning point in their relationship when Lily and Lord Ashworth experience near-death together. They respect and admire each other’s courage, and their attraction for each other intensifies. The ending is perfectly written for Lily and Lord Ashworth.
This is a beautifully written book, amusing and a pleasure to read. Kate Archer has a real talent for writing, and each character is explored in a lovely way. Shocking twists are added in to the plot, making the book impossible to put down. I was sad when this book ended! I absolutely adored this sweet regency romance. I cannot wait to read more of Kate Archer’s work and I’m so happy that I’ve found this incredible author.
