Nash Renfrew is getting married - at least he plans to. A younger son of an earl, he has a glittering career as a diplomat, but after inheriting his uncle's estate, he's come home from Russia to sort everything out. First he asks his aunt to find him a bride - then he heads into the country, where a rainstorm and a bad fall from his horse look set to change his plans for good.
With five young siblings to bring up, the last thing Maddy Woodford needs is more work. Yet when she sees the stranger fall, all she cares about is getting him inside. What's a reputation worth, after all, when a man's life is at stake? And such a very handsome man he is too. Practical Maddy knows just how to care for him, except the only bed for him to sleep in is hers, and it's too cold for her to sleep on the floor. Still, he is sick, so she's just looking after him. Really.
As innocently as things may start out, before long everything changes, and soon the mysterious stranger's forgotten identity is the least of their worries.
The DEVIL RIDERS series (The Stolen Princess, His Captive Lady, To Catch a Bride) takes a break before Luke's tale with this spin-off. Nash appeared in the first two books, and is another of the handsome Renfrew brothers, with plenty of scars as a result of his parents' tempestuous marriage. So while he might be a silver-tongued diplomat, renown for his poise and charm, the last thing he wants to do is fall in love.
Yet Maddy, in true Gracie style, is a loyal, loving heroine, full of courage and honour. She's hard-working and sensible, and utterly unable to resist Nash. Even when he is high-handed, aristocratic and hard-headly male. He's also gallant, tender and good with the children. Theirs is a sweet romance, grounded in all things good, and passionate too.
There's a welcome return from several characters - the indomitable Aunt Maude; lovely Nell and her spaniel Freckles; mysterious Marcus, the brother earl, who has to get his own story one day; fallen angel Luke Ripton, the last unmarried Devil Rider; and brief appearances and mentions from many others. For those new to the series, there are plenty of new people to get to know, not least Maddy's wonderful siblings, especially little Lucy. Altogether, they create a wonderful sense of community and family, which always play such important roles in Gracie's stories.
There is something thoroughly enjoyable and comforting about Gracie's stories. Bad things do happen, but mostly they're in the past and her characters are moving forward. This is no different. With echoes of her novella - The Virtuous Widow - the romance is tender and sweet, but not lacking in passion, there's plenty of gentle humour and the characters are marvellous. I love Anne Gracie books, and I know I'll be reading this again and again.

I read this book within a day as I could not wait finish it - though you obviously know that the leads, Nash and Maddy, will end up together. The characters were wonderfully drawn, sympathetic and believable, something not always found in a historical romance. Her tone and vocabulary are suitable for the era. It was amusing and thoroughly enjoyable. I have not read the other books in this series but I found it easy to follow and could be read as a stand alone. I will be ordering the others ASAP!
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Miss Madeleine 'Maddy' Woodford has been taking care of her younger five siblings in a cottage after the death of her father. Life hasn't been easy, as they barely make ends meet, and she believes she'll never find love. One day, she rescues a handsome stranger after he falls off his horse and loses his memory. As she nurses him back to health, she's keen for him to regain his memory and be on his way, despite falling for him. She knows if she's caught with the stranger, there will be talk and they might be forced to marry. But when the stranger, The Honourable Nash Renfrew, regains his memory, he doesn't initially tell her, as he's also fallen for Maddy. When he overhears someone threatening Maddy, claiming they are acting on his authority, Nash makes himself know to the man, hits him and sends him on his way. Maddy is hurt he's lied to her, but Nash says he won't kick her out of her home and will make things right. Maddy assumes he wants her to become his mistress, but she says no, as it wouldn't be fair on the children, and there will be talk. She then resorts to desperate measures, remembering her father had hoped she'd marry his wealthy friend, Mr George Hulme, who expressed his interest in Maddy when she was a child. She knows he's now in his sixties, but hopes marriage to him would be safer. When Nash hears this, he tells her they'll marry instead, but it's not the romantic proposal Maddy's envisaged. However, she says yes, and now she knows she loves him, tries her best to be the best wife possible, despite not having the upbringing suitable for a diplomat's wife. Nash's family aren't impressed with Maddy at first, but Maddy stands up to them. The aunt, who appears quite the 'snob' at first, is secretly pleased, as she realises she loves Nash.
Overall, the book was OK. Perhaps I'd been spoiled with the previous book telling Rafe and Ayisha's story, but this one isn't as good. Maddy got on my nerves towards the end, readily accepting his proposal, despite her obvious dislike to his unromantic gesture. Nash constantly tells her it's not a love match, since he doesn't believe in them, but it's clear Maddy loves him. She doesn't 'stand up' to Nash and make her feelings known, and only makes a stand against his family. Why does she not have the courage to say this to Nash?
I'm looking forward to reading Luke Ripton's story, since he's been mentioned a lot in the other books, and hope this one is just a little hiccup.
3/5

It was okay...
Compared to The Perfect Rake, I couldn't help but feel disappointed. The book was okay, but I found myself bored by the lack of witty conversation between the two main characters,... Read more

MUCH better than the last one - thank goodness.
I have to be honest and say that while I absolutely loved, loved, loved her 'Perfect' series, I don't like the Devils Riders series as much. Read more
