In this Beauty and the Beast, opposites-attract Regency romance by Jennifer Monroe, love proves it can bloom in even the most unlikely and darkest of places...

A duke who cannot trust his own mind.
A young woman mistaken for a thief.
For a dashing duke and a sensible spinster, true love arrives when they least expect it.


A Tortured Soul

Matthew, the 5th Duke of Elmhurst, lives a doomed life. Believing himself destined to become as mad as his father, he has resigned himself to a lonely existence. His only comfort in life? His expanding empire—the success of which he attributes to a mysterious family heirloom, a lucky pocket watch that has been passed down for generations.
But after a visit to Mrs. Rutley's School for Young Women, Matthew is shocked to find his lucky timepiece has vanished! Filled with rage, he decides the thief must be the young lady who conveniently bumped into him during his visit, and assumes she has used her beauty as a distraction in order to pick his pocket.


An Offense to Fair Maidenhood

Miss Julia Wallace is a baron's daughter and certainly no petty thief! However, when a desperate Mrs. Rutley offers her former student's company as a way to placate the Duke of Elmhurst for the loss of his family heirloom, Julia agrees to the arrangement...and places herself in the awkward position of trying to become the duke's new lucky charm.


Unleashing Dark Secrets...and Secret Desires

Handsome and seemingly eligible, Julia has no idea why the duke would be such a committed bachelor. But as the duke and Julia become closer and friendship blossoms, she discovers his bleak secret.
Yet just as the stakes are raised, the passion between Julia and Matthew threatens to become stronger than even the most devastating of threats.
Can anything bank the blaze of true love?

And how much will Matthew be willing to risk for the woman who already loves him so completely... body, mind, and soul?

5.0 out of 5 stars No Gaslighting, this story is Great!
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2023

Monroe does a skillful job weaving the effective tactics of gas lighting and resulting fear in a most interesting romance. There are several characters in the story but easy to follow. In fact, the multiple mini romances are very entertaining. I will keep this for another read on my kindle and can recommend this for any age to enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars That dastardly, manipulative uncle!
Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023
Verified Purchase
This was an interesting book. It was full of emotions. I was surprised by some of the things that occurred (How can family be so wicked?). I was surprised by the anger that came from Matthew in the beginning, until I read on, and read about the uncle. I was surprised by his Uncle Ezra. I didn't like his character one bit. He was so dastardly and manipulative. I liked how all of the girls decided to become 'sisters'. I'm trying not to spoil the book for anyone, so I'm leaving out a lot that I would like to say. There were sad parts of the book. There were happy parts, and parts where I wanted to jump through the book and issue a swift "what for" to a few of the characters. No matter how much I was grieving over losing someone close, I would not have left my child, even if they were considered an adult, especially so, whilst he grieved too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Plot potential, weak characters
Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2022
Verified Purchase
There’s little more to say than the heading of this review. The plot was interesting, but the characters nearly ruined it completely.

There is not one person in the book I cared about because the characters were as bland as unbuttered toast. The hero is a child. The heroine is also a child and self righteous and a complete fun-killer.

The headmistress, if we were allowed to know more of her secrets, may have been tolerable. But she comes off as being a bit reckless and laissez-faire with her unconventional dealings with her students.

All the men in this book, excluding the Duke who is spineless, are complete jerks. They are cartoonish jerks. The things that come out of their mouths are ridiculously stereotypical. The only good men apparently died before we met them.

And the only character I’m really interested in knowing more about, Ruth, apparently dies in the intervening years.

But what of romance? Very little occurs here. I think there was a kiss. A bland one.

I enjoyed reading this story, though at times I was even fearful of the outcome and so angry about the injustice served to a pure hearted people.
There were a few editing misses that could be corrected but not too many that it became too distracting. I believe this author will only improve with time and will add her to my “good” authors list. This is a sweet clean romance with mystery & suspense.

This story was well written. It has many twists in the plot to capture the reader's interest. The way the words grab your attention keeps you riveted to find out what will happen next.
Best of all it is a pure story that any age can read without fear of smut to sully the mind and distract from the story. I really enjoyed it!

Such a nice story where Julia a Lady in training meets Mathew, a duke, who has sworn off marriage because he thinks he will go “mad” like his father did. The story is very engaging and the characters very believable. There are a number of twists and turns that keep your interest up along the way.

But, I had a hard time continue reading. I wanted to skip parts. I got impatient. Sometimes authors can get a bit wordy. But I would recommend this book. The story was interesting! I did finally finish it. I’m going to read the next one just to see where Emma ends up. I’m glad for the concussion. It was a happy ending. 📕📕

The Duke of Elmhurst lives in fear of succumbing to the madness that consumed his father, little knowing that his uncle is manipulating him for his own ends. Can a young lady taught in a progressive girls school, teach him to live in the present and give him the confidence to eschew good luck charms?

An interesting way of telling this Regency story. The headteacher of the ladies finishing school is very ill & sends requests to her ex pupils for a last visit & whilst they visit they recount their story about how they met their husbands & how their life has gone. Well worth a read.
