Then there were Robert and Lord Rice-wolves in sheep’s clothing. That said, their romantic scenes made the pages sizzle. Jack and Carys’s love story was a turbulent rollercoaster ride. The author produced an air of mystery around him, and I was dying to know his story. In the first book, Educating Elizabeth, the reader is introduced to Jack Llewelyn as the Duchess of Diable Delamere’s brother’s caregiver. I absolutely loved Redeeming Jack by Kate Pearce. A word of warning to those who haven’t read Educating Elizabeth: be prepared for major spoilers.

Note: Redeeming Jack is the sequel to Educating Elizabeth, but it can be read as a standalone. Jack and Carys’s story is sure to engage and interest readers from beginning to end. Pearce always writes an entertaining story and Redeeming Jack is no exception. Added to the romance are healthy doses of danger, intrigue, and family secrets, making it a “full” book. Kate Pearce swept me into their love story from the get go and I simply did not want to put Redeeming Jack down until Carys and Jack had found their happily ever after. Carys and Jack are two people who are still in love with one another, but they have to overcome past hurts, feelings of abandonment, and a few truly awful relatives if they hope to make their marriage work. Redeeming Jack is jam-packed with emotion and I loved the story for it. Secrets and smugglers, betrayal and romance, Redeeming Jack has it all. Can he convince his wife to give him another chance? Jack might not live long enough to find out the answer. Carys wants a divorce, but Jack finds he cannot let the woman who still holds his heart go. His quest to capture the traitor lands Jack in the path of the one woman he thought never to see again - his wife. When the Duke of Diable Delamere offers to help Jack clear his name in exchange for Jack catching a runaway spy, Jack leaps at the offer. Disowned by his family and with his reputation in tatters, Jack Llewelyn survives by nursing wounded officers returning home from the Napoleonic Wars.
