HIS HAND-ME-DOWN COUNTESS

                  HIS HAND-ME-DOWN COUNTESS

So by now, you all know that I`m a huge fan of Marie Force as well as anything she recommends. Not sure if I have talked about this here on the blog, but Marie established her own publishing brand, called Jack`s Publishing House. At Jack`s Publishing House, Marie and her team have publish many novels since their opening; however this new arrival is a bit different from her prior predecessors. Marie Force is a contemporary romance and romantic suspense author, so it would only make sense that she publish books of those genres, at least for the first couple of years of her new business, which she did do. Now that the business is of its feet a bit, Marie announced a couple month ago that she would be publishing 2 historical romance novels. I was not sure what to expect because I have never read a historical romance novel unless you count the Clockwork Trilogy by Cassandra Clare, but I consider them to be historical young adult series. Honestly, I was surprised on how much I liked the book and the genre overall. I think I need to find more historical romance novels.

The novel is called His Hand-Me-Down Countess written by Sorcha Mowbray. The book takes place in London during the mid-19th century surrounding the inevitable marriage between Achilles Denton, soon to be Earl of Stonemere and Lady Theodore Lawton. The future Earl of Stonemere is a former soldier, who is scarred by this last tour, expected to take responsibilities of being the Earl as well as marrying his late brother`s fiancee. He is further attempting to keep certain bedroom secrets about himself and details about his past romances. Theodore Lawton prides herself on being an independent women, a women beyond her time, but an agreement made by her father has put her in this unwanted situation. Read to find out both of the protagonists attempt to cope with the situation neither of them wants to be in.

This book is full of love, mystery, twist, and turns. I think you guys will really enjoy it If you are hesitant about steeping into this book, don`t be. It is a great read. Life is all about the risks you take I think stepping into another genre that you have never stepped into is a good risk. My suggestion would be to read a sneak peak, and if you like what you are reading, then to take the risk. If you don`t, then do not. I think this novel is for the people that love romance, mystery, surprises, and betrayal. I loved every minute of it and hope you have the same ride that I had.

BLURB:
His brother's untimely death leaves him with an Earldom and a fiancée. Too bad he wants neither of them...

Theodora Lawton has no need of a husband. As an independent woman, she wants to own property, make investments and be the master of her destiny. Unfortunately, her father signed her life away in a marriage contract to the future Earl of Stonemere. But then the cad upped and died, leaving her fate in the hands of his brother, one of the renowned Lustful Lords.
Achilles Denton, the Earl of Stonemere, is far more prepared to be a soldier than a peer. Deeply scarred by his last tour of duty, he knows he will never be a proper, upstanding pillar of the empire. Balanced on the edge of madness, he finds respite by keeping a tight rein on his life, both in and out of the bedroom. His brother’s death has left him with responsibilities he never wanted and isn’t prepared to handle in the respectable manner expected of a peer.

Further complicating his new life is an unwanted fiancée who comes with his equally unwanted title. Saddled with a hand-me-down countess, he soon discovers the woman is a force unto herself. As he grapples with the burden of his new responsibilities, he discovers someone wants him dead. The question is, can he stay alive long enough to figure out who’s trying to kill him while he tries to tame his headstrong wife?

AUTHOR BIO:


Sorcha Mowbray is a mild mannered office worker by day…okay, so she is actually a mouthy, opinionated, take charge kind of gal who bosses everyone around; but she definitely works in an office. At night she writes romance so hot she sets the sheets on fire! Just ask her slightly singed husband.
She is a longtime lover of historical romance, having grown up reading Johanna Lindsey and Judith McNaught. Then she discovered Thea Devine and Susan Johnson. Holy cow! Heroes and heroines could do THAT? From there, things devolved into trying her hand at writing a little smexy. Needless to say, she liked it and she hopes you do too!
