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?
A Lady Unrivaled
is the third book in Roseanna M. White’s Ladies
of the Manor series, coming after The Lost Heiress and The Reluctant Duchess. I am a HUGE fan of Roseanna’s, and this series to be honest, so I’ve
been super excited for this book for quite some time. I absolutely LOVED The Lost Heiress, and even though I hardly
believed it possible, I loved The
Reluctant Duchess even more, so I just knew
I would love this novel as well. And I must confess, I most definitely wasn’t
disappointed. I already loved both Lord Cayton and Lady Ella, so I knew it
wouldn’t be hard to fall for their story, and I was right. If only this book
had lasted longer!
Lady Ella Myerston is such a sweet, innocent, spitfire of a
character, and I absolutely love everything about her. She is so set on keeping
her brother and his wife safe that she completely disregards her own safety,
and that is definitely something to admire. But my absolute favorite thing
about her is actually not entirely just about her. My favorite thing is her
relationship with Cayton. They are literally the cutest thing, and I couldn’t
get enough of the two of them.
Lord James Cayton is completely and utterly wonderful. That’s
all I can think to say. Even though I know he doesn’t have the best past, and
is actually very hard on himself because of it, I can definitely see that he is
redeeming himself, and I couldn’t help but love him and feel so much compassion
for him as he struggled to finally forgive himself for all he had done. Plus,
as I watched him fall in love with Ella, my heart was completely taken over,
and if I wasn’t already sure of his perfection, I certainly was after that.
All in all, I absolutely loved every single aspect of this
story, and I’m so sad that the series had to come to an end, but I know
Roseanna is already working on a new series, so I’m super excited to see what
that one will hold! Anyway, I cannot imagine giving this book anything other
than all five bookshelves, because it already has a permanent place on my
all-time favorites list. The themes that focus on God’s love and redemptive
grace made this a story that touched my heart, and the drama and romance made
it one I’ll never forget. And all that combined makes it a book I highly
recommend.
Happy reading!
