A Gentleman Never Tells (The Rogues' Dynasty #4)
by Amelia Grey
by Amelia Grey
I reviewed this book for Night Owl Reviews - 4.5 Stars
A Gentleman Never Tells by Amelia Grey is the delightful fourth entry in her Rogue’s Dynasty series. Having never read Ms. Grey before, I was happily surprised by her style of writing and with her charming characters. The dialogue was sharp and amusing and I found myself laughing during several of the escapades that take place in this historical romance.
Gabrielle is a wonderful character; young, beautiful and thoughtful, she’s an obedient daughter and a loving sister. Knowing her father expects her cooperation, she agrees to an arranged marriage to a man she doesn’t love. When she discovers her younger sister, Rosa, in her fiancée’s arms one night – she realizes she can’t go through with the wedding. While thinking about her dilemma as she walked through the park the next morning, she encounters an intriguing gentleman walking his dog. Realizing her father is not far behind her; she throws herself into the strange man’s arms and kisses him. While her impromptu behavior frees her from one unwanted engagement, she suddenly finds herself in another engagement – only this time to a complete stranger. She’s going to need a new plan.
Viscount Brentwood is fantastic; he’s handsome, rich and good to his family. Deciding it’s time to marry, he came to London to find a bride and to keep an eye on his younger twin brothers. As the oldest son in the family, he’s also the only person who knows his deceased mother’s secret, which would plunge the family into scandal. While walking his dog, Prissy, he encounters a beautiful young woman, who suddenly walks into his arms and kisses him. He’s then attacked by her father’s servant and finds himself agreeing to an arranged marriage. I really liked what Ms. Grey did with Brentwood’s character, while he’s not thrilled about being railroaded into a marriage he quickly grasps that he could have done much worse – his fiancée is the daughter of a powerful duke (who is not above threatening to make things difficult for the business his younger brothers are starting), she’s beautiful and will more than likely have a good dowry.
