Regency Brides: A Legacy of Grace: The Dishonorable Miss Delancey (Hardcover)

I am rather sad to say goodbye to this A Legacy of Grace series, and this book like the others is so good. I learned to really dislike Miss DeLancy in the first two books, but by the end of this one I had a complete change of mind. This time the author has us walking in Clara DeLancy's shoes and I came to respect her, especially when she found faith. What a changed individual she has become, and made me think that maybe the cause of a lot of her problems was her mother? We are back with the Ton and experience a lot of society, what a completely different way of life, and what a life of luxury. We are able to keep our focus with the addition of everyday people, including a pastor and his wife. The little sister is a delight, and her brother becomes a person of interest in the affairs of Miss Delancy. Each of these books can be read alone, but they are all so good you don't want to miss the enjoyment that they afford. I received this book through Kregel Publishing and their Blogger Program, and was not required to give a positive review.

I've loved this series from the start! And even though I didn't devour this one quit as quickly as the previous two, that had nothing to do with Clara Delancey being the main character. On the contrary I felt that Carolyn started leading me to feel sympathy for Clara in the last book, since I felt she was a victim of a manipulative mothers as much as Nicholas. But if your sympathy string was not affected by the last book like mine was, Carolyn makes sure it gets a great big tug from the very beginning! I love how she just throws you into the story in the beginning. And while I loved all the characters, old and new, the reason I didn't devour this story like the last is due to me feeling the pace has lulls this time. But the end of the story picks up with the action and then I love how Carolyn wraps up the ending. I was SO happy that my favorite characters, the Hawkesburys, returned. While I enjoyed all the hero characters in this series I've always loved Nicholas the most! ;) This is a redemption story through and through however, and I LOVE all of the faith scenes (though personally I wish Clara had done somethings differently towards the end of the book). But fans of this series are not going to be disappointed with this final addition! Faith, adventure, romance, and so much more await and it's all wrapped up in an absolutely GORGEOUS cover! :) Overall this is a nice ending, leading into new beginnings! Oh yeah and if, like me, your saddened by this being the last book, we don't have to be to biblio-depressed! Carolyn's new series is due in Spring of 2018!!! :D And dare we hope to see our favorite characters again and again along with meeting new ones along the way? Now I know next spring is quite a while to wait, but I've got a feeling the wait will be more than worth it! ;) Songs: "Broken Things" by Matthew West, "Mercy is a Song" by Matthew West "Forgiveness" by Matthew West (can you tell he's my favorite musical artist?) and "Different" by Micah Tyler Songs etc. May be changed and/or added in the future. ~ASC Psalm 57, Proverbs 3:6 ~ASC *I requested and received this book from Kregel for the purpose of reviewing it. This in no way affected my opinion and the above are my true thoughts and feelings about The Dishonorable Miss Delancey. ~ASC
