"An Inconvenient Beauty"
by Kristi Ann Hunter
by Kristi Ann Hunter
Griffith, Duke of Riverton, likes order, logic, and control, and he naturally applies this rational approach to his search for a bride. He's certain Miss Frederica St. Claire is the perfect wife for him, but while Frederica is strangely elusive, he can't seem to stop running into her stunningly beautiful cousin, Miss Isabella Breckenridge.
Isabella should be enjoying her society debut, but with her family in difficult circumstances, her uncle will only help them if she'll use her beauty to assist him in his political aims. Already uncomfortable with this agreement, the more she comes to know Griffith, the more she wishes to be free of her unfortunate obligation.
Will Griffith and Isabella be able to set aside their pride and face their fears in time to find their own happily-ever-after?

I have really loved getting to know the Hawthorne family, and I am sad to see them go as this is most likely the final book in the series. (Although I really hope not.) I am not ready to say goodbye to this wonderful family. We finally get to know more about Griffith and what makes him tick. Griffith has been a pillar throughout the entire series, so I have been impatiently awaiting his story. I was not disappointed with Griffith and his story. I loved how he went to his sisters for advice, that was so great. However, I found myself disappointed in Isabella. The fact that she kept hiding the truth really bothered me. I did love how she finally learned to depend and rely on God. This is something that we all need to do. From beginning to end, this has been a fantastic series, and I would love to have more books in this series if at all possible.
I received a complementary copy of this book from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
