novella that manages to retain some tension because of the short length He wanted to marry his mistress but she runs away becausesighSo he meets her again and wants revenge because of above stated reason Yay revenge Humiliation too But doubts creep in 'Tell me the truth why you ran away I can tell now that there's to the story' sigh 'Okay you win This happened and so I ran''Silly goose' Yes we second thatHEA audible review This book was so boring I was almost nodding off I don't know really what else to say The narration was dull too Sorry I say pass on this book Short and boring If it had been any longer I would have uit it Short read another love story set in Fortune's Folly Nicola Cornick's story was pretty good actually It's kind of hard to forgive the guy for acting the way he did and I kinda felt like she just needed to give up her secrets already since she just keeps hurting the guy she loves but it was an enjoyable angsty although very short read Good story though I would have liked it to be a little longer Welburn has been sent to Fortune's Folly because Eve is suspected of being in league with local criminals This is the first time he has seen her since she disappeared without a trace five years earlier He was hurt and furious and all too willing to believe ill of her until he actually sees her again Suddenly things aren't adding up and he is determined to find out why Eve was heartbroken when she left him but she loved him too much to allow him to throw his future away on her She is furious at his attitude but knows that she still loves him She allows herself to be coerced into helping him but ends up defending herself from trouble before he can rescue her Short as it was there was enough heat and action to make it a satisfying read This was recommended to me by a stranger on Goodreads because I asked for a romance where an aristocrat falls in love with his mistress Gosh never have I read a book with a heroine who was so determined to be unhappy It was just so sad Instead of telling Rowarth that she was pregnant or that she miscarried she was like now we can never be together so I'm not going to tell you the truth and I'm just going to pretend like I ran off with another man I'm surprised Rowarth even fell for that because they seemed to be deeply in love and she had agreed to marry him and what woman wouldn't want to marry a duke Especially a courtesan This is a one in billion opportunity frankly And then she view spoiler rejected his marriage proposal in the present day Luckily our hero was determined enough to not give up on her But seriously It's like she didn't want to be happy I would have never done what Eve did had I been in her situation And who knows doctors aren't always right There was a possibility she could have had another child I've not heard of a miscarriage preventing a woman from conceiving again but I guess it's possible hide spoiler A short story with a happy ending Rich Duke found mistress afteryears who walked away suddenly raging romance rekindled immediately Not really impressed by this one It was cute but the characters weren't really developed at all It's a short uick read with some good trashy fun towards the end but it doesn't begin to compare to Lisa Kleypas or Victoria Alexander Cute short story An entertaining short story I've read the other books in the Fortune's Folly series which I liked This one isn't as interesting as the full length books but the characters are well developed The plot is a bit too contemporary though Duke wants to marry his mistressFrom a political point of view that just wasn't done The power of the noble titles lies in the political and social position If his political and social allies cut him from
the Ton his title becomes worthless and any get from the relationship would be cut as wellFor the lack of historical reality this shorrt is a fairy taleAnd yeah there's that cliche where she loves him but refuses to marry him She has reasons than many a heroine I've read of baseborn a courteasan doesn't think she can have children I'm just getting tired of the same argument Marry me No Yes you will No I won'tshowing up in so many stories in my favorite genre All's fair in love and matrimony in Nicola Cornick's wildly romantic new series that introduces the ladies of Fortune's Folly spirited heiresses who are than a match for society's most dashing rogues The epitome of privilege and power the handsome Duke of Welburn sets all the ladies' hearts aflutter as he strides into the village of Fortune's FollyFor Eve Nightingale this fluttering is a mixture of wariness and wonder Once his glittering society mistress caught up in his glamorous world by day and tangled in his bedsheets by night she is now no than a penniless yet proud shopkeeperIt's a world Eve can't go back to she has secrets to keep But this determined duke seems very keen on unravelling them International bestselling author Nicola Cornick writes dual time historical mysteries that draw on her love for genealogy and local history She studied History at London and Oxford and worked in academia for a number of years before becoming a full time author Nicola acts as a guide and researcher at the stunningth century hunting lodge Ashdown House and is a member of the Board of Trustees.
