Lady Ella Myerston can always find a reason to smile--even if it's just in hope that tomorrow will be better than today. All her life everyone has tried to protect her from the realities of the world, but Ella knows very well the danger that has haunted her brother and their friend, and she won't wait for it to strike again. She intends to take action . . . and if that happens to involve an adventurous trip to the Cotswolds, then so much the better.
Lord Cayton has already broken two hearts, including that of his first wife, who died before he could convince himself to love her. Now he's determined to live a better life. But that proves complicated when old friends arrive on the scene and try to threaten him into a life of crime. He does his best to remove the intriguing Lady Ella from danger, but the stubborn girl won't budge. How else can he redeem himself, though, but by saving her--and his daughter--from those dangerous people who seem ready to destroy them all?  

Review:

I received a copy of this book for free in exchange for my honest opinion.  

What a great story!  I have not read the others in this series, but this stood alone well.  I did not have any issues with not having read any of the other books.  Lady Ella is an outstanding character as is Lord Cayton.

I really enjoy reading stories with adventure and a bit of romance.  I love knowing all that's going on and getting into the characters' story lines.  Like Lord Cayton... How many of us can relate to not being able to forgive ourselves for past mistakes?  Or Lady Ella who just can't seem to stay out of trouble.  I was captured entirely by her spirit though.  Even with all that has happened, she remains positive and sunny.  Oh for more people to take things as they come and keep such an upbeat outlook!  

I truly look forward to reading the other books in this series.  I expect I will enjoy them just as much as A Lady Unrivaled.  The author does a superb job with character development and story revelations.  Such a joy to read a fun story like this!
