Lady Beauchamp's Proposal

by Amy Rose Bennett

[Cocktails and Books]

I couldn’t put this book down. There were several plot twists and two in particular that had my jaw dropping open. I was immediately vested in Lady Elizabeth Beauchamps’ character. Any woman that has ever dated, let alone married, a loser knows what it’s like to realize that you must get out. I admired her tenacity and courage. She was able to go on and grab at a chance at happiness with the reclusive Lord Rothsburg aka James Huntly.

I think James’ character was the sweetest alpha male hero I’ve ever read. He’s the guy done wrong but determined to be honorable and live up to his commitment. He went through a lot of pain and disappointment prior to meeting Beth, but he opened his heart to her and nothing was off limits…sigh.

I rode all the highs and lows. I lived vicariously through Beth and James. I practically bit my nails wondering if and when Beth would be found out. I hoped their love would last, and they would find their happily ever after. They had a very active and white hot attraction between them. Beth was no shrinking wallflower when it came to pleasing her man. I think that’s one of the things that I loved is how they went all out to please each other. The author writes very well and the romantic scenes stay well away from being tacky or overly detailed.

I loved the ending of the book. Justice was served and Beth and James got their happy ending. I will definitely be reading more books by this author. I loved her writing style.
