Praise for the Cavensham Heiresses series

“Sparkling.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Full-bodied romance...with intelligence and heart.” (New York Times best-selling author Cathy Maxwell)

A lady with a noble mission. A duke looking for redemption. A forbidden love that cannot be denied, in The Good, The Bad, and the Duke by Janna MacGregor.

Lady Daphne Hallworth is ready to celebrate the holidays with her family. But when they accidentally leave her home alone, Daphne uses the time to work on her dream - opening a home for unwed mothers. But her quest isn’t problem-free: She’s in a battle to win the property for the home against her brother’s best friend turned enemy, Paul Barstowe, Duke of Southart. And that’s not all: Someone has stolen her personal diary, which holds secrets that could devastate her family. Daphne has always harbored private feelings for the man her family scorns...though perhaps striking a bargain with the handsome duke will solve both their problems.

Paul, long considered good for nothing, aims to open a hospital to honor his brother and restore his reputation. So when a conflict over the land brings him straight into Daphne’s life, they make a deal: He will help her find her diary if Daphne can change her family’s opinion of him. But before he can win her family’s affection, he has to win hers first. Maybe love was the answer to their family feud all along.

I have just discovered this series. While I have read two stories so far I doubt I’ll read any more for one reason only - the constant repetitive interruption to the narrative of disquieting private thoughts & emotional turmoil of principal characters. To my mind it’s just literary starch to bulk it up. True to formula, empathetic characters help provide colour and continuity of a glittering world while highlighting social issues. Justice exercised in practice & villains get their just deserts. I would read another story if it featured the maverick vicar
