A Holland Reads: A Reckless Promise by Kasey Michaels

I received this book in exchange for a fair and honest review

Published: July 26, 2016

Number of pages: 400

Genre: Historical Romance

Series: The Little Season #3

Synopsis:

London's Little Season has never been so scandalous

It's the kind of vow often made on the battlefield. Darby Travers, Viscount Nailbourne, never imagines he'll have to honor it. Yet here she is on his doorstep—his late comrade's young daughter, and Darby's new ward. Worse, she comes with the most overprotective, mistrustful, bothersome chaperone—the child's aunt, Sadie Grace Boxer. Darby is quite sure that behind her lovely facade, the woman is guarding a secret.

Sadie Grace faced many trials working in her brother's surgery, but none prepared her for the world she's thrust into with his passing. Navigating the ton, with its endless ball gowns and parade of parties, is difficult enough, but hiding the truth about her niece while the sophisticated viscount watches her every move proves nearly impossible—particularly when his searing gaze tempts her to bare all. But when her family's past catches up with her, she'll have to trust in Darby…no matter the cost to her heart.

What did I think of this book:

Let me start by saying this is the third book in a series and I have not read book number two . I was just fine reading it as a stand alone but will be going back to read the second one. I enjoyed getting to know these characters and watching them get to know each other. The little girl in the story is a great addition to this story as she grabs your heart. I like how opinionated that Sadie Grace is and how she gives Darby a run for his money. I like how there was not only a little romance in this story but a sense of adventure and scandal to make the story line move right along.
