The Unworthy Duke
Charlotte Anne
Reviewed by Helen
This is a fabulous debut by Charlotte Anne, can a scared hero and a heroine doing everything to keep herself and her young sister safe find happiness and love and also do their best to stop a scandal, theirs is a rocky road and I do hope that you will pick this one up and see what happens.
Miss Ellen Burney is doing her best to stop a huge scandal in the small village of Evendale and with no money she becomes Miss Ellen Smith and takes on the position of Lady’s companion to Lady Faye and arrives in London to start, but when she arrives this house is nothing like she expected and her arrival is a shock to the owner of the house.
Calum Callaghan, Duke of Woodhal is scared inside and out after fighting for ten years in the navy, he lost his half- brother and after being accused of murder he is now a hermit in his house, a recluse and that is the way he likes it, but there seems to be someone that is determined to change that, his grandmother Lady F, with her lady’s companion in tow are about to turn his like upside down.
Ellen is nothing but strong and determined to do what she must and no one even Mr. Grumpy Calum is going to stop her, she sees through Calum right from their first meeting which was witty and fiery and Lady F is there to push them all the way. Calum wants peace and quiet and now his house is filled servants and family and Ellie who he is finding hard to ignore in many ways and after one kiss he wants more.
When danger arrives Calum takes on the challenge to keep her safe, he might be Mr. Grumpy but he has a heart of gold and will do whatever needs to be done because he has lost his heart to Ellen even if she is refusing to acknowledge his love.
This is a great story, witty with lots of laughs along the way to their HEA, Ellen is a fabulous heroine, I really loved her even if she is a bit stubborn at times and Calum strong, caring and loving and hero any heroine would want, then there is Lady F what a character she made me smile and you can’t forget Owen I do hope he gets his HEA.
I do highly recommend this story, it is filled with witty banter, lots of laughs and emotion as Calum and Ellen find their way to a wonderful HEA. Huge congratulations on a fabulous Debut Charlotte Anne.
