Falling For The Marquess by Alexa Aston

Falling for the Marquess is the third book in the Strongs of Shadowcrest.  Each book can be read as a standalone, but I admit the family is fun to read about so at some point you might want to read the prior novels.  Alexa Aston has created a family with a number of children and cousins, which means there is lots of material for more books going forward.  

Georgiana is one of a set of twins.  Her twin married earlier in the year and Georgiana is feeling a bit alone. This is her year to “come out” in society and her twin cousins and next sister was supposed to be with her.  She is determined to only marry for love and not for any other reason.  

August Holt as a second son is expected to join the military, after all he is the spare.  Only life doesn’t always work out the way you think or plan.  His father and brother both passed away and he is seriously wounded and scarred in the war.  He was determined to marry for heirs and then remove himself so as not to damage his wife and children with his presence.  

Georgiana and August seemingly connect. The Strong family embraced him wholeheartedly.  Georgiana wants him, but he doesn’t think he deserves him.  She is falling for the Marquess as the title suggests.  Alexa Aston has written a fun historical romance with her new book Falling for the Marquess.
