“This series has been one of my favorites and each story has tugged at my heart, making me want to wrap my arms around these wounded Lords. Sydney Jane Baily is one of my favorite authors and even though I feel the last book she wrote was the best, she manages to surprise me with the next one!
The wounded hero, Lord Jameson Turner is a widower and after the loss of his wife, which affected him tremendously, he literally just laid in her bed to smell her scent and mourn. He hardly ate, truly looked like a hermit and really did not care.
Maisie Darrow on the other hand, is full of life and while visiting her relatives who lived nearby, she went to see Lord Turner and offer her condolences. Having met him before, she wanted to see if she could help him with his grief. But when he finally came downstairs, she was shocked. ‘This man looked as though he’d come “hot from hell” as Shakespeare wrote of Caesar. Or, at the very least, he’d forgotten all manner of good grooming!’ Well that meeting was shortlived but Maisie was determined to come back and help him.
Emotional, witty dialogue and banter, a slow journey toward a budding romance and the best of all, a Shakespeare quoting heroine! Could it get any better? I loved every second and hope there is another story soon!”
“This series has been and continues to be very enthralling. Lord Misery is yet a wonderful addition.
Jameson Turner, Viscount, is drowning in grief over the death of his wife. He is very handsome and at one time had been very amusing and full of life, until his wife’s death.
Maisie Darrow is young, beautiful, vibrant and compassionate young woman, She does not like to see anyone suffering and is determined to help Jameson Turner rise up out of his misery. She is very bold and loves Shakespeare, whom she quotes every chance she gets.
Will Maisie bring “Lord Misery” out of his grief and isoLation?
This story is filled with every facet of a good romance. You will not be disappointed.”
