His Accidental Countess: A Regency Cinderella Story

When his heir elopes, Tobias chases down the couple and hauls the prospective bride into his carriage, hoping to return her to her family in time to avoid a scandal. Except the woman isn't his heir's betrothed, but a governess whom Tobias has now ruined. He does the honorable thing and offers to marry Dora. With younger siblings dependent on her, Dora has no choice. As a countess with a substantial allowance, she can offer them a secure future. But can she ever forgive her husband for his brutish behavior? I love this author's writing style, but I was skeptical about how she would manage to redeem Tobias. Fortunately, he turns out to be a big teddy bear. Far from being the arrogant lord he first appears, he's socially awkward but has a heart of gold. He and Dora have a lot of obstacles to overcome to reach a point of trust and open communication, but they both act with a kind heart and unselfish motives. This turned out to be a really fun book. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
