Beguiling the Barrister

October 15, 2013

Lady Flick (never Felicity) Forster has a plan! She's determined to see her second season end with a successful marriage of her choosing. The gentleman she's selected is not a blue blood but instead young lawyer Darius Grantley, who works tirelessly for the good of the common folk in the Old Bailey's criminal court. Darius is equally as attracted to the headstrong and intelligent Flick, but she is well above his social status and income and not a proper candidate for marriage. How much the couple will win or lose will be determined in the courtroom and on the highest battleground of all: the human heart. VERDICT As a satisfying second title in a promising series (after Compromising the Marquess), this book captures the interplay of a couple at odds with society and life's circumstances. This tale of a bachelor barrister and a high-spirited noblewoman is an excellent addition to the Regency genre. [LJ Xpress Reviews, 9/13/13.]--Debra M. Dudek, Fountaindale P.L., IL
