Nellwyn Whitton, the widowed Marchioness of Whitten, has
always regretted jilting James Richardson. An accident strands her in the last
place she wishes to be: at the man’s residence amid a house party. Things turn
worse when her sister and James’ cousins are caught in a compromising position.
Nell is determined to safeguard her sister’s future; even deny her the man she
loves. Being around James again reminds Nellwyn of everything she has sacrificed.
Will Nell tell James the real reason she jilted him eight years ago? Or will she maintain her family’s dirty
secret?
Mr. James Richardson is the nephew and heir presumptive
to a dukedom. He is ready to remarry and give his young daughter the mother she
desperately needs. The last person he expected to find at his house party is
the very woman who jilted him eight years ago. When his cousin compromises her
sister, James has no other choice but to spend time with Nell. He intends to
help his cousin persuade Nellwyn to allow the lovers to wed. Can James forgive
Nell for the decision she made eight years ago? Can two ruins make a right?
I do have a few reservations concerning Nell. It deals
mostly with her late husband and his machinations at gaining her consent to marry.
If I were in Nell’s shoes, I would have some lingering resentment towards the
man, especially his taking advantage of my family’s dire situation. Instead,
Nell played the martyr and accepted her lot. That just did not set well with
me. What I like the most about Nellwyn is her selfless insistence on wanting to
protect her sister. Yeah, she did go about it the wrong way, almost causing her
sister to share her fate.
James’ unconditional love and devotion to his daughter is
admirable and cute. One can tell that his entire world revolves around
Valentina. I like that James is prepared to take a giant step to ensure that
his daughter has a mother’s guidance. He even involved Valentina in the
selection process. What I admire the most about James is his decision to help
his cousin. Despite his tangled past with Nell, he set out to help his cousin
gain her permission to marry Christa.
TWO RUINS MAKE A RIGHT is a standalone Regency romance. Originally,
the story started out as a novella. The author has added a prologue and additional
scenes to make it a full-length novel. I finished this book in one evening, staying
up passed three am to boot (which I am paying for this morning) My nitpick concerning
Nell’s late husband is the reason behind my 4-star rating.
