A Lord Apart (The Way to a Lord's Heart #2)

by 

This is the second instalment in The Way to a Lord’s Heart series by Ashford. I was not aware of this when reading this book, and I could feel the connection to a series intertwined in the tale.

A Lord Apart begins interestingly enough with an impromptu grief counselling session care of the Earl of Macklin. He has gathered a group of grieving bachelors together for dinner and in the end strikes up a friendship with each of them. This appears to be the connection that will tie the series together… 

Daniel Frith, Viscount Whitfield has lost his estranged parents and now while trying to pick up the pieces and repair the family holdings he discovers that his parents have severed the dowager house and willed it to an unknown woman. Will she have more answers about his mysterious and distant parents or will she only be another problem left to him to resolve?

Penelope Pendleton has lost her father and now her brother. Unexpectedly she receives word that she has inherited Rose Cottage, the answer to all her troubles. Will the nosey Viscount next door unravel her past and take away this much needed fresh start?

I enjoyed Ashford’s characters and the mystery that they work together to save in this story. I would have preferred the love scenes to be more passionate due the the build-up and feelings expressed between the characters before they come together. This was a nice read but lacked the passion that it foreshadows.

A Lord Apart by Jane Ashford was released March 26, 2019.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from SOURCEBOOKS through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

 ⭐⭐⭐/5
