A Fine Gentleman by Sarah M. Eden – Book Review

I received this book free for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own! 

London barrister Jason Jonquil has spent his entire life working to establish his identity as a gentleman, a man of refinement like his father and brothers. But when fiery Spanish beauty Mariposa Thornton walks into his office, he finds himself losing his grasp on his dignified character. The woman is infuriating, pushing him to the limit of his legendary patience. However, her case seems simple enough—a small matter of inheritance. Or so he believes.Once a well-born lady, Mariposa fought to survive the brutalities of Napoleon’s war on Spain. She braved horrific perils and undertook dangerous missions on behalf of those fighting against the invading French army. But her greatest battle still lies ahead: after being separated from her family, Mariposa sets in motion a plan to reunite with her loved ones in England. To avoid drawing the attention of the French, Mariposa dons a carefully crafted persona to conceal her true purpose.

As Jason and Mariposa are drawn together by the case, they come to know the people beneath the masks they both wear. When the truth of Mariposa’s quest is revealed, the couple is pulled into a mystery that will test the limits of their courage—and expose the true desire of their hearts.

 

I just recently leanred that this book is part of Sarah Eden’s Jonquil Brothers series. This was the first I have read about the Jonquil brothers and I was still able to follow the story very well. I don’t think they are meant to be read in order as they are all their own separate stories, but they are all about the different Jonquil brothers and it might be fun to read from the first book.  Find the order to read them all books.  I love Sara Eden’s books and am always so impressed by her research that goes into her novels.  This book, like all her others did not dissapoint!  The start was a little slow, but as the story went on I was loving it.  I was so frustrated by the mask that Mariposa had to put on, and that she didn’t come right out and tell Jason why she needed his help, but it seems that they have to help each other take off their own masks! If you haven’t read a book by Sarah M. Eden, I would for sure recommend starting with this one, and then go read her Longing For Home series!!
