Lucas Berkeley has a secret—one he cannot risk anyone discovering. After all, a future marquess belongs in drawing rooms, not underground boxing circles. Yet with a painful past and a need to control every aspect of his life, it is his only outlet. And when his brother begins to court the one woman who could ruin everything, Lucas needs the secret diversion more than ever.
Lydia Faraday is exhausted from living a life in which she has no say. When her taciturn guardian drags her to London intent on marrying her off, she determines to thwart his plans. If she is to have freedom in any aspect of her existence, it ought to be with whom she marries. And when a solicitor turns up with new information, she thinks that just might be possible. Or it may complicate her future further.
When Lucas and Lydia become entangled in a dangerous scheme, they cannot help but become closer, even as the obstacles between them grow. The last thing either is looking for is love. But their hearts have different plans.
I received a free copy of No Match for Love through Austenprose PR for a book tour. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
This was such a sweet tender romance! While I didn’t find this to be particularly unpredictable, I still found this to be so enjoyable!
From the very start, I knew we were in for a sweet treat. Right away the moment our two main characters met, I could tell there was a spark. And I loved watching them fall for one another. Lucas was such a gentleman, I adored how much he cared for the wellbeing of others and despite how much he was against the idea of falling in love, it was such a joy to see him care for Lydia and want to be near her. I found it so heartwarming how much both Lucas and Lydia cared for others, I loved seeing their interactions with those less fortunate.
This flowed so well, I loved all the high-society events and outings. I just adore reading these types of historical romances and this sincerely did not disappoint!
If you enjoy historical romances with forced proximity and characters against the idea of falling in love, you’ll definitely enjoy this one!
