Review: The Last Lord Standing by Diana Lloyd

Synopsis

Always the rogue and never the gentleman, Kerrigan Northam doesn’t worry about anything beyond his own pleasures. But lately, his noble friends have been considering marriage—specifically, the charms (and generous fortune) of the refreshingly pert Lady Olivia Liberty Chalford. Now they want Kerr to keep her from considering any other eligible suitors…by courting her himself!

Libby is averse to the very idea of marriage. Why be auctioned off when she has a far more enticing—if scandalously modern—plan for her future? So when she’s rescued by a wickedly dashing gentleman who claims to be something of a scoundrel, Libby thinks she’s found the perfect partner in crime…

It’s the perfect ruse. Libby gets a secret accomplice and Kerr’s in the uniquely coveted position of being able to kiss the comely, spirited Libby as thoroughly—and as often—as possible. But as their courting charade continues, Kerr’s gone from wondering how long until she discovers his secret…to how long until he’s madly in love with her.

Review

It's a beautiful historical romance about two characters you will fall in love with instantly. Libby and Kerr want to make something of their lives and do something for society. A chance meeting at a ball put them in each other's orbit. And something starting as an innocent friendship soon turns into more, much more.

Libby knows she might lose her freedom after marriage. And that's why she is determined to do something before she ties the knot. She wants to live a life that's all hers. When she meets Kerr, he seems perfect for asking for help. He moves in the same social circles as her and yet isn't exactly a part of that circle. And that makes him the ideal candidate to help her reach her goals.

Kerr wants nothing to do with Libby other than help her when she looks dejected by her friend's rejection. But now, he is privy to secrets he doesn't wish to know. And he might be falling for the woman he can never have. She is far above his station in life. Yet, he can't help but be around her. But what will happen when she discovers his secret? And what if he falls madly in love with her? Will they be able to stay friends?

Overall, this is a beautifully written romance and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I think all historical fiction fans will love this book. I highly recommend it.
