Tethered by her impulsive promise to marry Lord John Lemon—the path of least resistance—Alexandria Featherstone sets off from Ireland to Iceland in search of her parents with a leaden heart. Her glimpse of her guardian, the Duke of St. Easton—the path less traveled by—on Dublin’s shore still haunts her. Will he come after her? Will he drag her back to London, quelling her mission to rescue her treasure-seeking parents, or might he decide to throw caution to the wind and choose Foy Pour Devoir: “Faith for Duty,” the St. Easton motto. The Featherstone motto Valens et Volens: “Willing and Able” beats in her heart and thrums through her veins. She will find her parents and find their love, no matter the cost.
The powerful and wing-clipped Duke of St. Easton has never known the challenge that has become his life since hearing his ward’s name. Alexandria Featherstone will be the life of him or the death of him. Only time and God’s plan will reveal just how much this man can endure for the prize of love.
I recently read the second book in the Forgotton Castles series, The Forgiven Duke, written by Jamie Carie. I was excited to read this second novel as I really enjoyed the first, titled- The Guardian Duke. When I start a series I really like to finish it, especially if I enjoyed the first book. These stories are an inspirational, romantic, suspense type- that I enjoy to read. In the first book the two lead characters do not meet, but exchange letters. In this book they meet and fall in love, but the story isn’t over. This series is about more than just the romance between the two lead characters. It is also about her quest to find her parents, who are in trouble while on a treasure hunt.
I love that this series is about more than the love life of the main characters. It really gives the series depth and meaning by adding additional elements to the story. I also like that these books are have religious connotation. I must admit, I am anxiously waiting the final book in this series to find out if they find her parents before it is too late!
The Forgiven Duke will be available for sell this July.

I love historical Christian fiction as well as the adventure in this series! I actually already read this one and am trying to win it for my mom. I have it as an advance-reader copy on my kindle, so I can’t lend it to her. I LOVED this one! Great review! Thanks for the giveaway! Megan S.

I like to read historical books.
I love historical romances, especially in a series. And I’m curious to read if they travel to Iceland.
The historical fiction aspect is very interesting but I’m really anxious to find out how they finally catch up with one another. That first book ended on such a cliff hanger.
I am DYING to read this book because Jamie Carie is a little brat and left me hanging on book one, so please enter me. Historicals are my FAVES to read, ESPECIALLY by this author!
Hugs,
Julie

The inspirational attitude – it doesn’t sound like it is just a gratuitous sex kind of romance.
