Paperback Review: The Deserted Heart (Unmarriageable #1) by Mary Lancaster

 

Blurb: 

Welcome to a brand-new series from the #1 bestselling author of the Blackhaven Brides series. Introducing Book One in the Unmarriagable Series!


Unmarriageable? Or simply unusual?

There can only be one reason for the proud Duke of Alvan’s proposed visit to Audley Park. He means to offer for Lord Overton’s beautiful daughter, Thomasina, thus saving the family’s waning fortune. In the midst of the hectic preparations for his arrival, Overton’s least marriageable daughter Charlotte remembers to collect her young brothers from school for the holidays.

When fog forces them to spend the night at the Hart Inn, they are astonished to find the house deserted, save for one other enigmatic traveler who deals most capably with armed intruders. Drawn to their unconventional new friend, Charlotte enlists his help to solve the mystery.

Amidst the upheaval of the duke’s visit, to say nothing of the chaos caused by Charlotte’s unmanageable pet terrier, the Hart becomes the focus of nefarious doings, kidnappings, and romantic entanglements. For Charlotte is unwise enough to fall hopelessly in love with her sister’s intended husband, and the duke hides too many secrets of his own.

Will they find their happily ever after with each other?

No cliff hangers, a guaranteed happy ending. Read for FREE in Kindle Unlimited!

My Review - 4 1/2 of 5 stars - 

4 1/2 stars. This was a very interesting tale. I loved that it was outside of London and was a bit of a mystery. Charlotte was so smart, caring of her family, and mostly fearless, though she saw herself as unmarriageable. Alexander hid behind a coldness, but he actually had a big heart and was intrigued with Charlotte as well as the mystery at the Hart Inn. I really enjoyed all the adventures, surprises, and love that was spread throughout the book. I highly recommend this story.

This is my unsolicited review.
