Worth Lord Of Reckoning The Lonely Lords Book 11 edition by Grace Burrowes Romance eBooks

I could wax poetic over Worth for hours: he is intelligent, tenderhearted, responsible, patient, honorable, reliable, in short, he is everything dreams are made of. Case in point, as the story unfolded, I've lost count of the number of people, for whom he took responsibility in one way or another. Whether it was taking in his orphaned niece, whom he brought home after his sister died in Paris, or his half-sister, about whom he knew nothing until she was being sent down from school where their brother, the earl, had left her. Or, giving sanctuary and means to support a family for an opera dancer, who found herself in an interesting condition and the eldest of seven siblings, and a tired sailor, who'd brought news of Worth's missing ship, but looked like a beggar. So, if you love beta heroes as much as I do, you will adore him.

My only quibble? Along with Worth, I had trouble with the reason why the heroine repeatedly refused to marry him. As if returning to the life of unpaid chatelaine for her brother was a better alternative to having a family of her own, especially with Worth for a husband. For a fiercely capable and smart woman, she was remarkably slow on the uptake. But she worked it out eventually, and the final scene was everything I could have wished for.

One last thing that merits a mention is that this might very well be the only "standalone" book Ms. Burrowes has written so far. Even though chronologically, it happens sometime after Lady Maggie's Secret Scandal (Windham Series), if I were new to the world of Grace Burrowes, I would start with this one.

Worth Lord Of Reckoning The Lonely Lords Book 11 edition by Grace Burrowes Romance eBooks Reviews

Worth Kettering, heir to an earl, extremely successful solicitor, finds himself in charge of both a half sister he didn't know he had and an orphaned French niece. He decides to take them to the country estate that he has neglected to visit for five years while waiting for his brother the earl to take the girls off his hands. There he meets his housekeeper, Jacaranda Wyeth, a lovely managing woman with secrets.
While Jacaranda holds onto her secrets a little too long, the slow sweet romance between the two main characters allows for missteps and wooing on the way to love. I also enjoy the emphasis on family and in this book there are two broken families that are finally reconciled. In addition there are many interesting secondary characters introduced and needing their own stories. I recommend this book.
I got this on sale 2 years ago, and just discovered it in my library. I have heard good things from friends about G.B. books and couldn't wait to read it.

The beginning at me scratching my head because it was confusing with all the people being described, plus from different areas. It took me several chapter's to get the gist of the story line. So stay with it if you feel you are getting lost because it does improve.

I will say this is a stand alone book even though part of a series. There is very descriptive pre-lovemaking. They don't do the ACT until almost the end of the story and outside marriage.

The story could have been much shorter and did drag at times. I did enjoy the H all the way through the story, but the h was just ok to me. Our H was too patient with our h at times and she too stubborn.

We do get HEA, no cliffhanger and a very slow romance, some interesting secondary character's added to their story.

I am not going into the blurb because many have explained it just what you may discover reading it. (ljb)
While Worth was not as strong a story for me as the other Lonely Lords, it is still a satisfying read. Worth appears in several of the other LL stories in his role as a solicitor who is smart and ruthless to achieve the goals of his clients. Don't misunderstand me, he is ruthless in the way of any legal practitioner is and at times uses unsavory facts to overcome the threats to his clients. I would have liked to have read more of his machinations of his very high risk shipping venture as it had to have been nerve wracking. The heroine's reason for resisting marriage does not quite work for me but Ms. Burrowes' skill with storytelling gets me. She is one of my very favorite authors.

The author again intrigues me with her dialogues because they sound so ordinary compared to other romances. I have gone back to earlier Burrowes' stories lately and feel that Ms. Burrowes has honed this aspect of her writing very nicely in the LL series. She occasionally throws in some small detail that doesn't influence necessarily the story line but nonetheless adds a quirkiness that is so enjoyable for me. For example, in Worth, she introduces a group of brothers who have been named for trees "... Willow, Ash, Oak, Hawthorne, Valerian and a sapling by the name of Sycamore." Gotta love it. Ms. Burrowes scatters these little gems in the stories every so often and it just adds to the enjoyment of reading for me.
