Saving Grace by Michele Paige Holmes


Dust Jacket:

From Whitney Award Winning Author, Michele Paige Holmes, comes SAVING GRACE, a regency romance from the Hearthfire Romance series:

After the death of her grandfather, the Duke of Salisbury, Grace Thatcher wants nothing more than to live quietly in the country with her younger siblings. Her father’s debts thwart those plans, and to protect her sister, Helen, Grace must marry a man of her father’s choosing.

As each suitor proves less than desirable, Grace comes up with clever schemes, causing each to reject her. While staying at the mysterious Sutherland Hall, a middle-of-the-night mishap sends Grace into the arms of a stranger, Nicholas Sutherland—and provides inspiration for her grandest plan yet—one that will leave her reputation in tatters yet free both her and Helen from all possibility of marriage.

Too late Grace regrets her rash actions when her father’s last choice, Mr. Samuel Preston, proves to be a gentleman and a friend. But Samuel is the sworn enemy of Nicholas Sutherland, the man responsible for her “ruin.” Now instead of being free, Grace is caught between two men—each with his own agenda. 

My Review: 5 Stars

I love this book! It is one of the best I've read in a while. In the beginning our leading lady, Grace, hilariously throws herself into schemes to avoid being married off by her father to the worst kind of men. She is even willing to ruin her reputation to protect what is most important to her, her siblings. Right when Grace thinks she’s secured her family’s freedom from her self-serving father, she finds herself entangled in a scandalous love triangle between two enemies. Now with two vying suitors, is spinsterhood still what she really wants? Can she protect her siblings from her father and have love? Or will she also need to protect her heart? Grace is strong and bold and will not step down from a challenge. But the prickles and problems of others will only be soothed and worn down by her honesty and love.

This book is well written, engaged my emotions and made me identify with the kinder and more loving parts of myself. While inspired by the faults and growth of all the characters, this story left me wanting to become gentler, more thankful and more forgiving. Saving Grace is truly a fun, unpredictable, clean romance book with a plot that twists and tangles then pricks and snags your heart until it blooms into a sweet and beautiful love.

I received an ebook copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
