Blame It on Bath by Caroline Linden
4.0
Blame it on Bath
4.5 Stars
Series note: There is an ongoing story arch involving the deceased Duke of Durham's secret and as such it is recommended that the books be read in order.
As a third son, Captain Gerrard de Lacey always knew he would have to marry an heiress, and this is only reinforced by the revelation of the Durham Dilemma. Thus, when he is approached by Lady Katherine Howe with the proposition of a marriage of convenience, he is only too eager to accept.
Kate and Gerrard's opposites attract romance is delightful. Honorable, courageous and daring, Gerrard is a bit of a hot head, who never encountered a challenge he could refuse. Kate is reserved and shy, but shows a great deal of strength when provoked. Their chemistry is intense and their love scenes sensual and scorching.
There are some minor developments in the ongoing blackmail plot, but obviously Linden is leaving the majority of the twists as well as the resolution for the final installment.
My one small nitpick is the, which goes on a tad too long for my tastes.
In sum, an excellent follow-up and I am looking forward to Charles meeting his match in the last book.
