I'll Always Love You

4.25 Stars Gerald, Earl Elliott, has finally decided to marry. Unfortunately, he seems only to fall for a lady once she is engaged to another. When his close friend, the Duke of Rothwell, asks him to look out for his sister, Lady Lucinda Hughlot, during her first London Season, Gerald is happy to oblige. Yet he’s completely oblivious to Lucinda’s growing attraction to him. Lucinda is thrilled to finally be having her Season, however her mother the dowager duchess has decided an arranged match will cover her chaperoning duties. Lucinda, however, is far from pleased with her mother’s choice of the Marquis of Quorndon especially with her heart set on Lord Elliott. There is only one solution: Lucinda will find a lady for Quorndon. This is the 5.5 book in the series, it could easily be read on its own as a delightful long novella but if like me you love the Worthington’s you love this as Rothwell & Louisa feature quite a lot, it takes place the year following their marriage. I also liked that there were cameo appearances from some of the characters from the Marriage game series. I read the book in a sitting & thoroughly enjoyed it. The pace is very good, the characters are well fleshed & likeable. There's no intrigue no kidnapping just some manipulative mothers & a lovely romance Elliott & Lucinda are perfect for each other but Elliott is slow to realise where his heart lies. A warm hearted captivating read. My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

I’ll Always Love You by Ella Quinn The Worthingtons #5.5 Sweet rather predictable novella that sees Lady Lucinda Hughlot and Gerald, Earl Elliott find true love in spite of Lucinda’s mother wanting her to marry someone else. This story has a slow build to the HEA with two characters that are entertaining and worthy of one another. There is another couple that finds true love through matchmaking on Lucinda’s part. There are excursions, balls, rides in the park, a few kisses, two weddings and a consummation. A fun regency romance that was entertaining to read. Thank you to NetGalley and Kensington-Zebra for the ARC – This is my honest review. 3-4 Stars

Lady Lucinda Hughlot’s mother is determined to see Lucinda married as soon as possible, while Lucinda does not want to marry just anyone; besides, Lucinda wants to enjoy her first Season. It doesn’t take long for Lucinda to deem her mother’s choice, the Marquis of Quorndon, entirely unsuitable. Lucinda’s brother has been tasked to help her along and has enlisted the help of his friend Gerald, Earl Elliott. Gerald has decided that this is the year he will marry, but how will he ever find the right woman? But escorting Lucinda around will give him a chance to look at the eligible ladies. Lucinda knows quickly that Gerald is the one for her, but how will she convince him. But most of all, how will she convince her mother? I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU is a delectable morsel with minimal angst, filled with charming characters, and where love reigns. Both Lucinda and Gerald are so very engaging: Lucinda is all effervescence and joy, and knows precisely what to do to convince Gerald without coming off as brash. Poor Gerald, so oblivious and so smitten; he was so cute! And I loved Quorndon in all his foppishness; he was wrong for Lucinda but so very right for another – who was also a most lovely young lady. Ella Quinn’s knowledge of the Regency era and her superb descriptions made me feel as if I were attending my first Season as well! I’LL ALWAYS LOVE YOU is a quick read, everything flows seamlessly; it was a real pleasure to read from beginning to end!
