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

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

Enjoyed the book. It was well written and entertaining in that it revolves around Lucinda and her desire to learn more about Gerald, Earl Elliott. Gerald is on the hunt for a wife and Lucinda is coming to think they will well suit each other. As Lucinda’s brother asks Gerald to help keep an eye on her during her first season he is starting they are well matched. There is s HEA but there is a lot that happens first. I would recommend this book as a good read.
