The Captivating Lady Charlotte (Regency Brides: A Legacy of Grace Book 2) (English Edition) Kindle版
Her heart is her own--but her hand in marriage is another matter
Lady Charlotte Featherington is destined for great things on the marriage market. After all, as the beautiful daughter of a marquess, she should have her pick of the eligible nobility when she debuts. She, however, has love at the top of her list of marriageable attributes. And her romantic heart falls hard for one particularly dashing, attentive suitor. Sadly for Charlotte, her noble father intends her betrothed to be someone far more dull.
William Hartwell may be a duke, but he knows he was Charlotte's father's pick, not the young lady's own choice. And the captivating Lady Charlotte does not strike him as a woman who will be wooed by his wealth or title. While she has captured his heart, he has no idea how to win hers in return--and the betrayal and scandal his first wife put him through makes it difficult for him to believe that love can ever be trusted. His only hope is that Charlotte's sense of responsibility will win out over her romantic notions.
Can a widowed duke and a romantically inclined lady negotiate a future and discover love beyond duty? Will they be able to find healing and hope from the legacy of grace?
Poignant and charming, this is another beautifully written, clean and wholesome Regency romance from Carolyn Miller in the tradition of Georgette Heyer and Julie Klassen. Fans of The Elusive Miss Ellison will meet compelling new characters--and a few old friends.

When I read The Elusive Miss Ellison, I at first struggled to get into the rhythm of the writing. While it was rough going at first, I ultimately really enjoyed the book. I'm happy to say that I encountered no such problems with The Captivating Lady Charlotte! Author Carolyn Miller's writing is richer and more accessible in this book, and I enjoyed my reading experience from beginning to end.
I'll admit, at times while reading this novel, I wondered why on earth William was attracted to Charlotte. Yes, she was beautiful, but sometimes she seemed so young. (And, at 18, she really was young.) Easily swayed by flattery and a handsome face, Charlotte was difficult for me to like at first. But then there would be glimpses of who she could become—as she showed compassion for William's situation prior to meeting him, as she became her cousin Lavinia's companion during a time of trial, and as she loved William's baby daughter—and I could see a bit of what William saw in her. Throughout the novel, Charlotte grew up a lot, and by the end, I loved her character.
Though I wasn't always a Charlotte fan, I loved William from the first time he appeared on the page. Though he was far from perfect—he had clear trust issues, didn't always treat his daughter well, and jumped to conclusions—he also knew how to love well. He was also a well drawn and interesting character, and I so wanted him to find his "happily ever after."
While The Captivating Lady Charlotte is not a young adult novel, I think it's perfect for teen girls. Why? Because it focuses on true love, love that goes beyond butterflies and physical attraction (though there's some of that, too), love that lives up to 1 Corinthians 13. That's something romance-obsessed teens don't see a lot of in the media, and I'm sure I would've benefited from reading a story like this when I was younger. 4-1/2 stars.
Disclosure of material connection: I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review, and the opinions expressed are my own.


The heroine is a young girl who, while naturally quite uncertain about what she wants, doesn't have the spirit to protest what her parents are doing to her. Oh, she is spirited enough to think it unfair and to speak to her brother or friends about it, but not to fight her ridiculous and quite stupid mother - out of ingrained filial duty, we are given to understand.
I stopped reading the book when her father, after having accepted a request of marriage for her without even consulting her or telling her beforehand, is said to feel compassion for the heroine when he informs her of it. Not even at this point does she know to protest too much, only repeating that the news is "a shock" and that she "hoped to marry for love".
Really, they are all ridiculously sketched. I think the author might have made a bit more of an effort to create believable individuals.
The only good observation I have of this book is a fairly good use of vocabulary and grammar.

Like most eighteen-year-olds, Lady Charlotte chafes under that sense of being an adult, yet not quite an adult. She’s been presented at Court and now has some freedom to move about in society, but her mother dictates where she may or may not go, and whom she will associate with and speak to. She comes across as a little petulant and self-absorbed at the beginning of the story, but it is to her credit that she allows her cousin Lavinia’s (The Elusive Miss Ellison) gentle reproofs to take root as she considers the truth that while she may not have as much control over her circumstances as she wishes, she does control how she responds to those circumstances. And thus begins the maturation of the captivating Lady Charlotte.
It was lovely to see Lavinia and Nicholas feature so prominently in this story, and especially to see the way in which Lavinia’s Godly example paved the way for Charlotte to think more deeply about what true love is: that it is more than feelings and emotions; that it is patient, always seeking the good of the other person; that it is steadfast in all things; and that it can be cultivated. Charlotte definitely blossoms through this friendship, as does her relationship with William, hesitant though it may be.
And William...there’s something about the quite ones that always squeezes my heart. They’re harder to pull off in fiction, but Carolyn Miller manages to capture the nuances that bring warmth and vitality to William’s character, despite his less gregarious nature. Sometimes it truly is slow and steady that wins the race!
If you love Regency romance, don’t pass this one up!
I received a copy of this novel from the author. This has not influenced the content of my review, which is my honest and unbiased opinion.
