About this ebook

♥ A swoon-worthy scientist

♥ A nearsighted wallflower

♥ A matchmaking mama

♥ A Royal Society ball

♥ Sweet romance!


Another irresistible romance from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Royal and her daughter, featuring their “outrageously funny, loyal, and endearing” Chase family!


Lady Violet Ashcroft grew up sheltered in the countryside, far from the dashing gentlemen of the court—and that’s how she likes it. Here on her family’s beautiful, quiet estate, she needn’t fight off suitors who are only after her sizable inheritance, or play second fiddle to her prettier younger sisters. Love and marriage aren’t for everyone, and sensible Violet would rather spend her days reading and improving her mind than risking her heart. Until a rather dashing gentleman shows up next door…


Ford Chase, Viscount Lakefield, has had it with women. Who’s got time for them, anyway, when there’s important work to be done? Fresh out of Oxford, Ford is ready to devise his first world-changing invention. All he needs is some peace and quiet on his neglected country estate, where there is no family to nag him and, most especially, no women to distract him—until he’s thrown into the company of the intriguing Lady Violet…


PLEASE NOTE: This book is a SWEET & CLEAN ROMANCE. If you’d prefer to read a steamy romance with a similar plot, look for “Never Doubt a Viscount” by Lauren Royal.

As with all the 'Brides' series I enjoy the story. But please do your homework before publishing, seeing the stars in the sky at 8.00PM in the UK is impossible, it is still daylight! Also, to accredit inventions to some of our most respected scientists when it is something that they more than likely or did not invent is wrong. I'm all for poetic licence but keep it real. This really did annoy me, thought it did make me look up some of these facts, so thank you for that😃

This is the next chapter in the continuing saga of the Chase family. This time we hear Ford's story. The youngest Chase brother is quite done with women, having been jilted by his betrothed, he is determined to devote his future to his science and inventions rather than matrimonial endeavors. Then we meet Violet Ashcroft, a bookish young woman on the brink of spinsterhood (at eighteen). Violet has given up hope of finding a husband who is not after her inheritance and genuinely loves her.

This is the story of Ford and Violet. The sweet version of the original book called Violet.The intellectual and scholarly Ford Chase is trying his best to come to terms with baby sitting his niece Jewel while the rest of her family suffers from measles. That's when Violet's Mum steps in with what seems to him a brilliant idea to keep Jewel occupied. Rowan and Jewel can play together leaving Ford free to his own devices while Violet baby sits them. Then as plans often do, it all falls apart because it's not just Jewel who is looking forward to visits from their neighbours. I love that he made her spectacles. That was just such a sweet gesture! I received the book as a gift from the authors in return for my honest opinion.
