* A huge thank you to Rachel for inviting me on this book tour and for sending me a copy to review, in exchange for an honest review.
Lord of Worth b
London 1776: Lord Worth is
busying himself restoring his family fortunes and burying any feelings he still
harbours for the woman who rejected his proposal.
The fact that the lady in
question—Lady Rebecca Fairing—happens to be his sister’s best friend, his
niece’s godmother, and present at every Societal gathering of consequence is…
unfortunate.
Meanwhile Rebecca fears she made the
wrong decision in rejecting James Worth, but when he assures her he won’t be
renewing his proposal, she is forced to accept her choice. It doesn’t take long
for the eligible Lord Worth to attract other suitors, among them Lady Sophia,
daughter to Society’s most notorious gossip, Lady Goring.
Rebecca knows she must step aside and
allow James to find happiness, but when she senses all is not as it seems in
the Goring family, she can’t help but intervene.
As James and Rebecca work together to
unearth Societal secrets, deal with scheming matriarchs, and face villainous
highwaymen, they find themselves more in each other’s company than ever
before.
Will
they continue to bury their feelings for one another, or will they finally
realise what it means to love?

hells of London to Bath’s fashionable Pump Room, the Ladies of Worth series

heroines and honourable heroes who match each other wit for wit you’ll find

My Review:
As a history lover, the historical accuracy really made this
book for me. The 18th century is something I am really interested in
and constantly researching, so it was great to see how much research the author had clearly done by including period appropriate clothes, hair, cosmetics, and rules of society. There
is even a glossary at the back of the book if you are not familiar with the
terms mentioned in the book. This accuracy brought the story to life for me and
really helped me to immerse myself in the story.
Rebecca and James are wonderful leading characters, and I was routing for them throughout. I was expecting not
to like Rebecca, because she had previously rejected James’ proposal, however, I
soon loved her spirit, loyalty, and kindness. Lady Goring was absolutely
insufferable, the perfect villainess, and I was silently cheering when
her long-suffering daughter, Lady Sophia, got her happily-ever-after!
Lord of Worth was chef’s kiss perfection! Philippa Jane
Keyworth has written everything I want in a historical romance. I thoroughly
enjoyed this book and devoured it in two sittings. Although I haven’t read the
first two books in the Ladies of Worth series, I plan on doing so very soon.
Highly recommended if you love the scandal and drama of the Georgian era.
Check out the rest of the tour:
She loves strong

worlds that are as dramatic as they are beautiful.
