ABOUT THIS BOOK The younger son of a youngest son, Captain William Hawksmoor of the Royal Navy never expected to inherit a marquessate, and is none too pleased when he does so, especially when he learns that the he is required to marry within a year or be forever dealing with Trustees. As the new Marquis of Athelney, he takes command of Kingscastle, the family seat, and discovers much to be done to set it in order. There is also his aunt, Lady Willoughby Hawksmoor, determined that her timid daughter should be the next marchioness. When she discovers he is far more interested in Eleanor Burgess, her under-paid and much put-upon companion, Lady Willoughby will stop at nothing to keep them apart. MY REVIEW It is a truth universally acknowledged that I am completely in love with so many books in this genre, and KINGSCASTLE by Sophia Holloway is no exception! When Captain William Hawksmoor finds himself swapping his independent life of the Royal Navy to become a Marquis, it alters his world in so many ways - the right clothes he must wear, the right places he must frequent, and having staff to cater to his every need. But none of those things shocked him as much as the stipulation in the will that states he must marry to keep his inheritance. With his formidable Aunt who is determined that her quiet daughter must be his bride, William has no doubt that they would make each other miserable, and when he cannot help but be captivated by his Aunt's companion, Eleanor, trouble is on the way. With a stunning setting, engaging characters, and plenty of charm and wit to capture your imagination, KINGSCASTLE by Sophia Holloway is sure to please historical romance and Regency fans everywhere. William is quick-witted, sharp, and likeable, and Eleanor is intelligent and feisty which I loved. There are plenty of characters in this story and they really add that something extra to the overall feeling and depth of this romance, and I became connected to their stories too. I thoroughly enjoyed KINGSCASTLE and I look forward to reading more from Sophia Holloway. AUTHOR INFO Sophia Holloway read Modern History at Oxford, also writes the Bradecote and Catchpoll medieval mysteries as Sarah Hawkswood.
