Undressed with the Marquess

Lost Lords of London, Book 3

by Christi Caldwell

⭐⭐⭐⭐ /5

Trigger warning at the end of review.

The final lost lord has been found, and none too soon! Dare Grey was moments away from dangling from a noose! Our last lord is an unrepentant thief who steal from the rich to give to the poor, a Regency Robin hood!

Returned to the life he left, he is now the Marquess, and as such, he must see to the succession and find a husband for the sister he never knew… in order to receive the funds his grandfather, the duke promised upon his return. Once he succeeds at one of these, he will have his funds and can go back to East London and continue helping it’s people.

Dare decides the easiest way to start this process is to get his long abandoned wife and bring her home as his Marchioness. Temperance Swift does not easily go along with this plan, but after a deal is struck, she attempts to help Dare achieve at least one of his goals… find a husband for his sister. She refuses to entangle her heart with him again.

Dare and Temperance were such caring characters that looked to help other before themselves. This characteristic left them both with their own hurts and flaws that coloured their actions. His lost lord was different from the past ones, since he left home as a boy and was not welcomed home. He then was sold to MacDiggory like the others. Having spent many years in his aristocratic life, he had an easy transition, but failed to see how it would be much more difficult for his wife who was East London born and raised.

I enjoyed watching our little Robin Hood find a way to transition his life but still continue his purpose. As well, the evolution of the lovers second chance and a new perspective of their own ideal HEA drove this story home.

I have really enjoyed the Lost Lords series, the only thing I would have changes would be to have more of a connection between the lost lords and some cameos.
