An Heiress's Guide to Deception and Desire - Book Review

An Heiress's Guide to Deception and Desire by Manda Collins

Miss Caroline (Caro) Hardcastle is not only the author of several cookbooks, but she also helps her dear friend Kate write a crim column for the local newspaper. Caro’s parents are determined that she should wed but Caro is bound and determined to choose her own husband. When her dear friend Effie is kidnapped, Caro will stop at nothing to find her, even if that means working with the man who broke her heart, Vicount  Wrakham, Valention Thorn. When Caro and Val are caught in what people believe was a compromising position, will Caro risk her families reputation, or will she find herself once again engaged to the man who betrayed her?

Lord Valentine (Val) Thorn is the new Viscount Wrackham, and his family is urging him to find a bride to carry on the family name. He is bound and determined to choose his own wife after he chose his family a few years ago over the one woman he ever truly loved. When fate throws Val and Caro together, will he finally stand up to his father and choose love or will he choose family duty?

I absolutely adored this novel by Manda Collins. Her witty, charming, sassy strong female characters are so well written that you become enthralled with them right from start. With being introduced to Caro and Val in the first novel of the series, I was excited to read their story in this one. I am not usually one for historical romances, but I was hooked on Ms. Collins writing style and really enjoyed learning about life back in the 1800’s. Now I will say I am a historical romance fan and can not wait to read the next novel in the series. Thank you so much Forever ( Grand Central Publishing) for the advanced copy of the book in exchange for my unbiased opinion.
