Synopsis
For fans of Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Sabrina Jeffries: the seductively charming second historical romance in Isabella Bradford's Breconridge Brothers trilogy.
Lord Geoffrey Fitzroy leads a charmed existence. As the second son of the Duke of Breconridge, he has none of the responsibilities of his older brother and all of the advantages, leaving handsome Geoffrey free to enjoy his rakish pursuits. And pursue them he does, leaving hearts fluttering all over London. But one night, at a ball teeming with high society's most sought-after beauties, only one truly intrigues him: the regal, aloof, and mysterious Miss Serena Palmer.
Magnificently dressed and wearing jewels befitting a queen, the lady is considered the prize of the season, a noble-born heiress raised in India. But even as Geoffrey's fascination grows, Serena deftly deflects his curiosity—and with good reason: Serena's exotic past contains a perilous secret that could destroy her. Yet her plan to live in safe solitude is thwarted by her hungry heart, and soon Geoffrey's passionate seduction finds her blissfully bed—and wed. Will her deception destroy her chance at happiness as Geoffrey's wife? Or will the devotion of her new husband reveal the only truth worth embracing: her undying love?

Book was gifted to me through Netgalley for a honest review.
I like a good hot Historical Romance from time to time and this book hit the spot. Great characters, this is the second book in the Breconridge Brothers series. I have not read the first book but I was not at all lost in this one.
We are introduced to Lord Geoffrey Fitzroy a playboy not looking for anything serious especially a wife. But at a ball he goes out of his way to meet Miss Serena Palmer, she tends to keep to herself, not wanting to get to know anyone or dance at all. Serena hides a big secret about who she really is and She does not want a husband or children afraid her secret may be revealed. But after meeting Geoffrey she cannot hide her feelings for him and they start to get to know each other. Things start to get very hot and steamy between the two
I was afraid that Geoffrey was going to be a jerk, but he was a good man through and through, when they were discovered he did the right thing and married Serena. I loved reading about my Serena's life in India and how she grew up there. We see her struggle so much with what to do with her secret how to tell Geoffrey.
"She could now begin their married life together with honesty and trust, as Aunt Morley had advised. She could tell him the entire truth of who she was and who he'd married. She could stop hiding, stop pretending, stop lying and trust he loved her enough to accept her for what she was, "
I loved both characters and how much they loved each other, we get a few good hot love scenes
I loved the ending, going to be reading the next book. Again great characters and just the right amount of hotness!!! :)
