ARC Review of Lady at Last, Lord Love a Lady Book 4, by Annabelle Anders

Sometimes, dear readers, you find and author that you can really relate to. Not just through their books, but as a person. One of my favorite things about Facebook is that I have had the opportunity to "meet" and get to know a few of my favorite authors. Get a little sneak peek into their lives. Chat with them on their pages and through messenger. And be able to say, "Hi! I just finished that ARC you sent me, and I LOVED IT!" That makes it personal. I don't do it for every author, but Annabelle Anders is one that I do. And I did just that as soon as I finished this book. I pm'd her to tell her how much I enjoyed the book. More later...

She can't make a baby without a husband! Or can she?

After witnessing the miracle of birth, self-determined spinster Miss Penelope Crone is having second thoughts about swearing off marriage. She wants – no, she needs – to experience the blessed event herself. Dear God, she’s practically thirty! Time is running out!

Hugh Chesterton, Viscount Danbury, is relatively intelligent, good looking, unmarried, and most importantly, close at hand. With a little décolletage, a sway of the hips, and a few drinks of brandy, Penelope is certain she can extract a respectable offer.

If only she’d accounted for the power of passion.

Because unchecked lust takes over, leaving Penelope in a most precarious predicament. And Lord Danbury –– the goose-brained jackanapes –– is proving far less attainable than she’d imagined.

Is Penelope to be cast out of society or will Lord Danbury take a leap of faith and save her from ruin? He'd better act fast if he's going to make her his lady. HIs Lady At Last...

5 STARS! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've thoroughly enjoyed all if the Lord Love a Lady books, but this one is my favorite! (Have I said that before? Hmmm...Must be the author 😀 )

Penelope Crone is resigned, nay, determined she is going to remain a spinster. The love of her life has never returned her devotion and she wants no other. Until her friend has a baby. Being there and seeing new life come into the world is more overwhelming than she knew, and now she wants to have a baby. Just one problem. She has no prospects for a father. Or does she?

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Her friend, and confirmed bachelor, Hugh Chesterton, Viscount of Danbury might just be perfect. IF he'll agree. Bent on convincing him that they would be well suited for matrimony, Penelope gets more than she bargains for. Now she'll have to convince Hugh to marry her!

Annabelle Anders writes funny, quirky, heartfelt tales about characters who are believable. You can laugh at their antics, shake your head at their mistakes, and cry when things go wrong for them. I did cry, and I could totally understand both Penelope's fears and determination. I am sorry that this series had to end, but I know that Ms. Anders has more historical romance and hijinks up her sleeve!

So, as I mentioned up top, I sent Ms. Anders a brief message to let her know how very much I loved this book. And she was gracious enough to answer me, even though an author's life is a busy life! Squeee! Score!
