Love's Justice by Joan Avery

Love's Justice by Joan Avery.

This is book 2 in the Worth Brothers series.

Victoria Wentworth is going to court to make sure her ex-fiancee won't get her money. Victoria's father signed a wedding contract without her knowledge. But after her father goes back to America and she meets her fiancee, Victoria knows there is no way she can marry the despicable man. 

Hugh Worth, the Earl Montgomery and Lord Chancellor of the Exchequer, is the judge and jury for Victoria's case. Before the trial starts, he just imagines that Victoria is one of those American Heiresses just looking for a title, but he soon learns there is much more to her than he thinks.

What happens when they find themselves attracted to each other. Will it taint the outcome of Victoria's case?

I really liked Hugh and the fact that his attraction to Victoria knocked him so off kilter that he did things he normally wouldn't have done (kiss her after just being introduced).

I was a little turned off with all the spouting off that Victoria did in the courtroom and out in public. I just thought it was a bit too much. I've read several books lately that had heroines that would be considered suffragettes and I don't think it needed to be taken quite so far.

The story also had many secondary characters that I enjoyed reading about that definitely made it a worthwhile read.


You can find this book at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Thanks go out to Entangled Publishing via NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange of an honest review.
