Third Husband’s The Charm is book four in Harrow’s Finest Five series by Nancy Yeager. I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down. Captain Percival Carlyle, Earl of Granston is my favorite Yeager hero so far. He is witty and clever, handsome and debonair and yet so vulnerable and real. In all the other books Granston is at times the comedic relief, but in this book, we get to see his heart and the very real struggles that he faces and hides from his friends. There are twists and turns that kept me glued to the page. I loved his attraction to the heroine Finola. “…he held out his hand to her. And when she glanced at his face, it was full of hope and kindness. And something more. His hooded eyes, his parted lips, his pulse jumping in his throat. The captain desired her after all. She stretched out her hand and twined her fingers in his. He moved slowly, languidly, to close the distance between them. He traced her cheekbone with his free hand, then ran a finger over her lips, watching her face with the intensity she remembered so well from the night they had met, the same heated gaze she had seen so often from him these past few days. It told her he noticed her, he saw her, and he didn’t want to stop looking at her. She didn’t know why she had doubted his desire for even a second. ‘Are you aware,’ he whispered in her ear, ‘that I’ve sailed two oceans and three seas and visited four continents, and you are the most exquisite woman I’ve ever seen?”
There are a number of very steamy scenes in this story. Fantastic romance!
