IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Ella Quinn is the third book
in the Worthingtons series and can be
read as a stand alone
book. I have not read the first two books
in this series, but I am sure I would love them just as much
as I have this one!
The Earl of Worthington's sister, Lady Louisa Vivers, is
young, beautiful and comes with a handsome dowry. Many of
the men of the "Ton" hope to catch her eye with marraige in
mind. Louisa won't accept
just any man though. She is looking for the love of her
life and she won't settle for less. An early morning ride
brings her into contact with a very handsome man who
just may be the one!
Gideon is the new Duke of Rothwell. His father managed to
practically run their estate into the ground and has left
behind him numerous huge unpaid debts, not to mention a
mistress who he has lavished with property, horses, and
gifts. Gideon has to do his best to sort out the mess
and stop the estate from going into bankruptcy. When he
first sets eyes on Louisa, it is love at first sight. He
also can't get over the beautiful colour of her eyes, a
lapis blue. When he visits the Earl of Worthington he is
stunned to discover that the woman he glanced at whilst
riding, is in fact the earl's sister.
The attraction between them makes him want to spend
more time with her, and she with him. Unfortunately, Gideon
understands that he should not be
courting Louisa until
he sorts out his fathers dwindling the family monies.
With Louisa's very large dowry, he does not want others
to think he's just after that and not Louisa herself.
Will their hearts be joined together or broken apart by
Gideon keeping important information from Louisa? Louisa
catches on that he is hiding things from her. Another
woman? Gambling? She is determined to find out.
I loved IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Ella Quinn and look
forward to reading all of the
Worthingtons series. This read not only has romance
and hidden
secrets, it also has a bit of danger that can keep you on the
edge of your seat! A must read! I give it 5 stars!
What is a young Worthington woman to do when the man of
her dreams is not who she thinks he is?
This season, all eyes are on the Earl of Worthington’s
spirited, beautiful sister, Lady Louisa Vivers. Many
gentlemen are vying for her attention in and around the
ton. Yet, Louisa longs for someone who can take her
beyond the ballroom—a man who is worldly, adventurous, and
passionate. She won’t settle for just any suitor. She wants
her true soul mate—and she’ll know him when she sees him.
Is Gideon, the Duke of Rothwell, him? The moment he
and Louisa meet, they share a powerful attraction. Rides at
sunrise and waltzes at dusk follow. Finally, Gideon can no
longer resist the urge to embrace her, and Louisa is sure he
will ask for her hand. But Gideon believes he is in no
position to marry. The Rothwell estate has gone bankrupt, a
scandal simmers in its wake, and he has nothing left to
offer. Now, he must decide if he will let pride stand in the
way of true love—or if he will risk everything, and let the
lady decide for herself…
