First Comes Courtship (Book 4)

When Liam Fletcher, former vicar, now Viscount Norton, kissed Cora Eastwood in the garden, he didn’t mean to compromise her; he only meant to test the courtship theories of the Duke of Clearford. Now they are married and things aren’t going well. Misunderstandings, house party hopping, and failure to communicate don’t help make a good marriage. Maybe some time alone in the country, some heart-to-heart talk, and some steamy romance will? True love is worth the fight.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Liam, believing her to be someone else, accidentally ruins Cora. Although it was she that he was attracted to, his family expected him to court another. The two marry due to the scandal, but lead separate lives. Liam doesn't know Cora has a scandalous secret and Cora doesn't realize her husband wants a true marriage, but thinks she is too innocent for what he'd like to do. This made for some very exciting interactions between the two. Loved the story and definitely recommend it!

Neither have any idea what they're doing, more so than usual, and neither have any idea how to be with someone. They navigate life the best they can and find love together.

This is a lovely story between Cora and Liam, forced to marry in the previous book in this series due to a scandalous kiss. Can they ever learn to trust and love each other. Both feel unloved, unwanted and not good enough for their families. Will they listen to their bodies, and believe each other, and will they ever find a place to be alone. This book made me chuckle especially when everywhere they go to be alone, someone from their families is resident or turns up unexpectedly stopping the important connection and frustrating them both. As previous books, this author can paint the scene and the emotions easily and it is as if you are watching the movie and seeing it play out. I especially enjoyed when Liam finally stood his ground and told his Grandmother what she should do. These 2 deserve their happy ending.

I was soooo looking forward to their story. And let me tell you, it meet and exceeded all my expectations. It was simply excellent. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
