Book Club Read July: Grace by Beverley Watts
For July, we will be reading Grace by Beverley Watts! This historical romance is the perfect choice for those of us who love a mix of humor, adventure, and, of course, a bit of matchmaking madness. Here’s a little more about the book:
A Wild, Unstoppable Regency Romance
Grace introduces us to the Shackleford sisters—eight headstrong, spirited women who are about to turn Regency England upside down. Their father, Reverend Augustus Shackleford, has a single goal: to find wealthy, titled husbands for each of his unruly daughters. But there’s one big problem: none of the sisters possess a ladylike bone in their bodies. Instead, they’re more likely to cause delightful chaos than sit quietly at a drawing room. How the Reverend is going to find gentlemen willing—or foolish—enough to take them on is a mystery that could test even divine intervention.
Enter Nicholas Sinclair, a battle-wounded, haunted duke who never expected to inherit the title. After a long absence and grievous injuries from the Battle of Trafalgar, Nicholas returns to his ancestral home with a pressing duty: to marry quickly and produce an heir. The problem? The thought of navigating London’s marriage mart in search of a suitable bride holds no appeal for him, especially when his tortured soul is at odds with society's expectations.
When Nicholas crosses paths with one of the Shackleford sisters, the collision of their worlds sets the stage for a whirlwind romance filled with sparks, humor, and plenty of surprises. He never expected love to find him in such a tumultuous, unexpected way, but sometimes the most beautiful relationships blossom from the most chaotic beginnings.
