Synopsis: From New York Times bestselling
author Sabrina Jeffries comes a sparkling new series about an
oft-widowed mother’s grown children, who blaze through society in their
quest for the truth about their fathers . . . and in the process find
that love just might conquer all . . .
A
series of stepfathers and a difficult childhood have left Fletcher
“Grey” Pryde, 5th Duke of Greycourt, with a guarded heart, enviable
wealth, and the undeserved reputation of a rogue. Grey’s focus on
expanding his dukedom allows him little time to find a wife. But when
his mother is widowed yet again and he meets the charmingly
unconventional woman managing his stepfather’s funeral, he’s shocked to
discover how much they have in common. Still, Grey isn’t interested in
love, no matter how pretty, or delightfully outspoken, the lady . . .
Beatrice
Wolfe gave up on romance long ago, and the arrogant Duke of Greycourt
with his rakish reputation isn’t exactly changing her mind. Then Grey
agrees to assist his grief-stricken mother with her latest “project”:
schooling spirited, unfashionable Beatrice for her debut. Now that
Beatrice is seeing through Grey’s charms to his wounded heart, she’s
having trouble keepingGi him at arm’s length. But once Grey starts digging
into her family’s secrets, she must decide whether her loyalties lie
with her family . . . or with the man whose lessons capture her heart . .
.
My Thoughts: I loved this book so much! I couldn't help but be intrigued from the first moment I saw the family tree and the thrice widowed Duchess. The Pryde family is so endearing and I loved reading about them. The author did a great job of making their interactions with each other seem very relatable and they're such a fun group of characters.
Beatrice is awesome! She's such a tough cookie and I loved how she had a mind of her own and wasn't afraid to share her opinion. Her relationship with the Pryde family felt very genuine and she always seemed to fit with them in any situation. She and Grey both dealt with some trauma in their younger years but finding each other seemed to help them let go of that trauma. They really are a great couple; they have so much chemistry! Grey is the perfect hero and I can't think of anything I didn't like about him. The romantic aspect of the story was HOT and just reinforced what a good match Grey and Beatrice were.
There is a mystery that runs through the story and that, combined withe great characters, kept me turning pages as fast as I could. Due to this mystery, there is a cliffhanger ending but I could not care less. I am so excited to read the next installment in this series! I can't wait to see more of this family but in the meantime, I'll be picking up some of Ms. Jeffries' other books. I loved this one so much that I'm eager to read more of her work. I highly recommend Project Duchess! 4 stars.
