Hope has convinced herself that she’s content with living the life of a spinster. Her scarred but beautiful face but also society’s ugly stares never helped her forget about spinsterhood. Her life changes when she encounters the handsome Duke of Colbrooke and he seems to be her last “hope”...

Miss Hope Adamson, eldest daughter of Viscount Amsford, was born with a big scar on her face. Over the years she’s been ridiculed for not meeting the ton’s standards for beauty. She has even come to be known as the scarred spinster. But Hope has made peace with the fact that she will never marry. Her priority now is seeing that her younger sister Marcia makes a good match during the upcoming London Season.

Alex Collins—The Duke of Colbrooke—has returned to London having spent the last four years traveling and has secured lucrative connections in the silk trade in the Far East. Alex’s mother is set on playing matchmaker between him and Lady Jessica. But Alex finds himself being drawn to Hope Adamson, much to his mother’s despair.

As Hope and Alex grow closer, scandalous gossip threatens to tear them apart. Will they be able to overcome the obstacles set in their path and live happily ever after?

Wonderful

This is a well written story. Even though there is crudity in it, because this is the way the London Yon acts when someone or something is different, it’s great to know this author so fit to give the scarred heroine in this story a happy ever after ending. I would enjoy reading this story over and over again.

Character and what is in the heart is what matters.

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2022

This one starts off in a rather sad way and it is not the only sad part in this piece. It is a good story and shows the real face of the Ton. I liked the characters for the most a few I had a problem with some of they seem to lack the depth I expected. It is rather sad that Hope is only expecting to be made fun of or talked about how badly she looks when helping her younger sister in the girl’s first season. This season she will meet Alex and he is an excellent character I loved him at the end when he is talking to Hope alone they kind of go back and forth on one issue but it does turn out well in the end. I found the book engaging and a very good story.

An Endearing Duke Asserts his independence

In this story there is delightful dialogue with affection, drama, and humor. A plethora of adjectives are used to vividly describe the characters. Finally, I have found an admirable Duke with the courage to confront his matchmaking mother. This charming man is not fooled by the woman his mother has chosen for him. Alex is capable of seeing beyond her beauty to her ugly nature. Despite the persistent maternal pressure, Alex attempts to be polite but is honest with his mother that he is a grown man who will make his own decisions. When he attended Marcia’s debut, he danced with her and her sister, Hope. The scar on Hope’s face did not prevent him from admiring her clever and witty conversation as well as graceful dancing. On the next day, the scandal sheets described Hope with venomous insults trying to entrap a kind, wealthy gentleman. Alex goes to Hope and convinces her that they can ignore the gossip and be friends. A fiance from Hope’s past tries to separate them. As the plot twists, his best friend David and Hope’s sister Marcia give them emotional support. There are so many kinds of authentic love in this story. At the end is the best banter I have ever read in a proposal. This is a warm and wonderful love story !

Sweet book

Well written but does have some typo's that were missed but still able to keep reading without ant trouble. Both the Hero and Heroine have people who want to keep them apart. Heroine has scars from an accident as a child and can't remember them but society does treats her terrible. She has learned to stand up against this treatment. The Hero wants to be somewhere else and not be in this society, loves to travel and has lived in the Far East. He knows that life is different than in England. Hard to put down this book , enjoyable. Would recommend to all.

I am an ARC and leave this unbiased, honest review.

Excellent read!

A beautiful love story showing that looks aren't all that matters. Hope has nasty scars on her cheek resulting from a childhood accident. She knew her future was bleak resigning herself to spinsterhood. Fortunately the Duke saw past her scars and the many roadblocks in their relationship.

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2022

It’s hard to imagine how Hope was treated because of a scar. Add to that, his horrible mother insisting Alex court a woman he can’t stand. He wasn’t very good about standing up for himself. They do get their HEA and it wasn’t a bad read.
I received a free copy of this book from the author and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Quite a nice read. Nothing breathtaking, but I enjoyed reading it. Aunt Elwood was the MVP, and I am glad more attention and paragraphs were not given to the horrible Lord P (the h previous suitor). I was worried we might get schemes or perhaps an attempted kidnapping from him. Thankfully we had none of that.

This is a beautiful story of a woman's inner beauty that shines forth to those humble and gentle enough to see it. I loved Hope and her sister Marcia and the relationship they had. I also loved Alex and wanted to throttle his mother, scheming Jessica, and the prideful cruel members of the ton. Excellent dialog and ending.
