About this audiobook
The final installment in the “hilarious and steamy” (PopSugar) Regency Vows series follows the heir to a dukedom and a young widow, once very much in love, as they reunite years later to fake an engagement for the benefit of her sister.
West, the Marquess of Weston, and Sophie, Lady Fitzwilliam Bridewell, have lately been spending a considerable amount of time together. But West and Sophie are not new acquaintances. In fact, years ago, they had once been nearly engaged until West’s almost fatal curricle accident and his meddling father threw them off course.
Now recently widowed, Sophie has put aside all thoughts of romance. But when her widowed sister, Alexandra, mentions a fondness for an earl, Sophie realizes that she may be holding her sister back. Alexandra won’t move forward with an engagement until Sophie, too, settles down again, and so Sophie approaches West with a plan. They will announce their engagement and break things off once Alexandra is happily married. It’ll be simple. After all, it’s not like she is going to fall for West a second time, not when Sophie has sworn not to risk her heart again.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Death by a thousand sad flashbacks sort of sapped the joy from this book for me. The rest of the series is great though!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Love this series
It's fun, spicy, and very Regency with a few modern twists.
These oddball falling in love has been the heart of these books, and I just adore them. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is probably my favorite of the series I loved it. I love the stories and I love the romance enjoy.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very cozy, loved every bit of it. Made me clean my dishes thoroughly hehe
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Delightful ending to a delightful series. This book pulled all the books together for a neat ending. It stayed true to the characters, but I did feel like the reason the couple couldn't be together dragged on a little TOO long.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Duke’s heir West and widow Sophie, once almost engaged, reunite to help her sister. Sophie proposes a fake engagement with a time limit. But as they grow closer, she struggles to keep her promise not to fall for him again.
This book is hilarious and so fun. The chemistry between West and Sophie is palpable. As with some of the other books in the series, there were times I wanted to shake the characters and tell them to stop being so dumb. But the fact is, real-life people do dumb things all the time, and Sophie’s character arc made sense.
West and Sophie made some harrowing choices when they were young and scared, and they’ve been left scarred as a result. Their hearts are in the right place, so I’m willing to give them a lot of grace. Sometimes life is messy, and the walls we put up to protect ourselves keep us from following our hearts. Fortunately, these characters learn from their mistakes, and it’s a beautiful thing. And the audiobook narration was fabulous.
Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
