In the third book of the Heir's Club of Scoundrels series, Adam Greyhawke grapples with a new title, a new five year old dependent and a potential new love. Adam has lived the past two years in Northern England after the death of his wife and baby during childbirth. Wracked with guilt and heartache, he had no notion of abandoning his isolation until the surprise inheritance of an earldom forces him to London for the season. Although he has no plans to ever marry again, he meets Katherine at the first event he attends. Katherine has her own complicated backstory and they forge an immediate connection. This is an enjoyable historical romance with likable characters and a sweet romance. I did find it disconcerting that after spending two years in misery after the death of his wife he was able to find an immediate connection with a woman and think to himself that it was deeper than what he felt with his wife on their first meeting. It felt a little quick to me and it colored how I read the rest of the book. That said, I have read all the books in this series and while this one may not be my favorite, it was still an enjoyable read. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
