The Forgiven Duke by Jamie Carie Review #WIN
I recently had the opportunity to read the second book in the Forgotten Castles Series. The Forgiven Duke by Jamie Carie is the continuing story of the Guardian Duke. This book took us further into The Duke of Easton and Alexandria Featherstone's relationship. Alexandria grows up a lot in this book which I think really helped me to like her even more. I loved the scenery of Iceland and how Carie makes you feel like you are there too.
About the book:
Tethered by her impulsive promise to marry Lord John Lemon - the path of least resistance - Alexandria Featherstone sets off toward Iceland in search of her parents with a leaden heart. A glimpse of her guardian, the Duke of St. Easton - the path less traveled by - on Dublin’s shore still haunts her.
Will he come after her? Will he drag her back to London, quelling her mission to rescue her treasure-seeking parents, or might he decide to throw caution to the wind and choose Foy Pour Devoir: “Faith for Duty,” the St. Easton motto. The Featherstone motto Valens et Volens: “Willing and Able,” beats in her heart and thrums through her veins. She will find her parents and find their love, no matter the cost.
The powerful yet wing-clipped Duke of St. Easton has never known the challenge that has become his life since hearing his ward’s name. Alexandria Featherstone will be the life or the death of him. Only time and God’s plan will reveal just how much this man can endure for the prize of love.
My thoughts:
This book exceeded my expectations! I had hoped for some resolutions to certain parts and it definitely happened! (Don't you hate when a series drags certain things out) I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens next. I love how each character has their own conflicts but when they lean to God they find a solution or the grace to get through. This book had plenty of action and that was exciting as well!
