A BookBub Best Romance of 2022
A London heiress rides out to the wilds of the English countryside to honor a marriage of convenience with a mysterious and reclusive stranger.
Tall, dark, and dour, the notorious Captain Jasper Blunt was once hailed a military hero, but tales abound of his bastard children and his haunted estate in Yorkshire. What he requires now is a rich wife to ornament his isolated ruin, and he has his sights set on the enchanting Julia Wychwood.
For Julia, an incurable romantic cursed with a crippling social anxiety, navigating a London ballroom is absolute torture. The only time Julia feels any degree of confidence is when she’s on her horse. Unfortunately, a young lady can’t spend the whole of her life in the saddle, so Julia makes an impetuous decision to take her future by the reins—she proposes to Captain Blunt.
In exchange for her dowry and her hand, Jasper must promise to grant her freedom to do as she pleases. To ride—and to read—as much as she likes without masculine interference. He readily agrees to her conditions, with one provision of his own: Julia is forbidden from going into the tower rooms of his estate and snooping around his affairs. But the more she learns of the beastly former hero, the more intrigued she becomes…
my thoughts:
Beauty and the Beast vibes run all through this story and I LOVED it! The Belle of Belgrave Square is the second story in Mimi Matthews popular series, Belle of London. And let me just say it is fantastic! I loved this book to bits!!
Okay, so what is the story about? Well, its about Julia and Jasper. She's a young lady who does not enjoy the London social scene thanks to gripping social anxiety. Plus, she'd rather be reading or riding her horse. Jasper was a military hero, but now he's a recluse with a bad reputation. He needs a wife. So, Julia proposes to him. She figures that if Jasper can agree to allow her the freedom to just be - meaning reading and riding - then she handle being his wife. He readily agrees to the proposal on the condition that she never enter the tower room on his estate or snoop through his affairs. Talk bout a match made with conditions, right? Well, of course things don't go as planned. Jasper is enchanted with Julia and she finds herself intrigued by him. The more they get to know each other, the more their feelings turn romantic. Will this husband wife find love?
Mimi Matthews has written a terrific new story to add to her series and I think it is the best one yet. I just loved the top notch writing, the slow-burn feel of the story, and the romance which made me swoon. Such a wonderful read!
I would happily recommend The Belle of Belgrave Square to fans of Mimi Matthews and and to anyone looking for their next great read - you are going to fall in deep with this one! Make sure to check it out!
