A Reluctant Courtship by Laurie Alice Eakes (The Daughters Of Bainbridge House)

Oh I am so glad I didn't miss this book! 

A Reluctant Courtship is the third book in this series. 
I happen to have read the first two as well!
A Flight of Fancy is first, and then A Necessary Deception is second. 

This book picks up with Honore's plight and that of a noble man who's loyalty is being questioned. He has an uncanny way of rescuing her, but she has so tainted her reputation that she figures she is not any good for him. Never mind that she is terrible drawn to him, and that he is the match her Father had picked for her before his passing. No matter, none of that will matter if he can't clear his name, or if her name taints his fragile standing. It is complicated! But what happens if they can clear his name, and what if she can only fall in love with this one man, Lord Ashmoor. 

Honore is, as always fantastic and I just didn't want this book to end! I hope the next series is as wonderful as this one! I recommend the entire series!

About The Book:

A woman without a prospect. A man without a homeland. Can love give them a future?
Honore Bainbridge has been courted by two men, one of whom turned out to be a traitor, the other a murderer. Banished to her family's country estate, where she will hopefully stay out of trouble, she finally meets the man she is sure is exactly right for her: Lord Ashmoor. Tall, dark, and handsome--what more could a girl ask for? 

But he too is under suspicion because of his American upbringing and accusations that he has helped French prisoners escape from Dartmoor Prison. If he's to keep out of a British prison himself and secure his place in British society, Lord Ashmoor needs a wife beyond reproach--something the vexingly beautiful Honore certainly is not. Though they find themselves drawn to each other, family obligations may conspire to keep them apart forever.

For the sake of her heart, Honore determines to prove Ashmoor's innocence--even if doing so risks her own life.

From the first sentence, award-winning author Laurie Alice Eakes thrusts you into high drama amid the rocky cliffs of Devonshire, England, and keeps you suspended there until the final page.
