Confessions of a Hellion

Three and a half stars. This is a pleasant read. Samantha has always loved Lord Asthey but he is friends with her brother making her off limits. He discovers he must marry in order to inherit and she overhears the conversation and plans to finally get him to notice her. What makes this story better than average is the characters. They are both a little quirky. Her brother has his own epiphany but it was a little shallow. My real problem with this book is that the story ends at 80% and the rest is excerpts from other books. I did not lower my rating for that, I just need to vent that this makes me angry and wish authors would not do this. I received a free copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

Confessions of a Hellion is the seventh book in the Bluestockings Defying Rogues series and is a great Regency romance. I loved this book and found it the characters to be charming and lovable. There is drama, angst, a protective brother, and a woman determined to marry the man of her dreams. Can this marriage of convenience turn to a marriage of love? I read and reviewed this book with no obligation.

Jason Thompson, the Earl of Asthey, who never plans to marry, finds out at the reading of his grandfather’s Will that he has 6 months to do so or lose his inheritance! Lady Samantha Cain has almost reached the age to be considered a spinster. Although it was her brother not allowing her suitors, she was glad of his interference since her heart belonged to someone else who unfortunately never considered her for a wife. Perhaps now that his inheritance is at risk, would he consider a marriage of convenience? That would solve both their “problems”. She won’t have to even tell him that he loves him! But will her brother step in again and prevent a marriage? This is a well-written book that holds the reader’s attention, eager to see if two people can find their HEA despite the “bumps along the road”! Grab your copy and enjoy the likable characters as they look ahead to a diminished future unless they make the right choices. Will they discover that they have loved each other all along?
