Regency Belles of Bath, Book 3

About the book...
From shopkeeper… To Duke’s wife
When Beatrix, Duchess of Howden, writes to her estranged husband offering a divorce, she’s stunned when he arrives on her doorstep with a different proposition: a six-week marriage trial! Quinton Roxbury seems cold and inscrutable, but Beatrix gradually realizes his rough exterior hides a heavy burden. As their connection deepens, dare she trust him with her own scandalous past and risk the marriage she never knew she wanted?

All that I said about this one in the opening?
SO TRUE...and THEN some!
Seriously, when I found out it was the THIRD in the Regency Belles of Bath series, all I could think was....WHY haven't I heard of it before, WHERE was someone to recommend it to me, and GIVE ME MORE! Bea was a doll...though she was treated as anything but! She took her chance when she saw it (SO don't blame her!), made her way in the world (you go girl!), and yet wasn't so headstrong that she couldn't allow herself the chance to follow her heart when...or rather IF, the moment presented. Quin was a rather gallant gentleman, despite his family history, and I think his handling of his new bride's departure was MORE than elegant. Still...it took a hard conversation he didn't want to have to shake him out of his total emotional self control...and to what end? Ahh...wouldn't YOU like to know! Let's just say it's VERY hard to put a stopper back in a bottle, no matter what it may have contained.
In the end, I loved the premise, adored the story, cherished the characters (well, most of them...that Dowager though...ugh!)...and if pressed for a favorite, I wouldn't hesitate to say...HELEN! I know, you're wondering WHO in the world is that?! Well, she's Quin's darling little sister, and the moment she makes herself known, you'll be hard pressed to forget her. Do yourself a favor and make your acquaintance with Belles...because I know as far as I'm concerned, this may have been my first of the series, but it won't be my last! (No, seriously...like I just went over to the Harlequin site and ordered this book in print and the others! *yay me*)
