Review: The Last Lord Standing by Diana Lloyd

 

Always the rogue and never the gentleman, Kerrigan Northam doesn’t worry about anything beyond his own pleasures. But lately, his noble friends have been considering marriage—specifically, the charms (and generous fortune) of the refreshingly pert Lady Olivia Liberty Chalford. Now they want Kerr to keep her from considering any other eligible suitors…by courting her himself!

Libby is averse to the very idea of marriage. Why be auctioned off when she has a far more enticing—if scandalously modern—plan for her future? So when she’s rescued by a wickedly dashing gentleman who claims to be something of a scoundrel, Libby thinks she’s found the perfect partner in crime…

It’s the perfect ruse. Libby gets a secret accomplice and Kerr’s in the uniquely coveted position of being able to kiss the comely, spirited Libby as thoroughly—and as often—as possible. But as their courting charade continues, Kerr’s gone from wondering how long until she discovers his secret…to how long until he’s madly in love with her.

My Review

The Last Lord Standing by Diana Lloyd
My rating: 4 of 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟

I loved reading this story, it took me a minute to realize that Libby's parents are from another book in this series. So there's that. Libby is a little naive in her planning but I like her need to help the less fortunate. While Kerr falls for her even though he can't be with her.

Kerrigan is approached by three friends at the birthday party of Lady Olivia, all asking him to keep an eye on her and other possible suitors away. Each explaining that with his charm he'll be able to get close to her with her family's approval.

Libby does not want to be married off. She'd much rather devote herself to charity work. When she and Kerrigan bump into each other at her party, she thinks she's found the perfect partner to help her with her scheme.

It's perfect, Libby gets an accomplice and Kerr gets to spend time with the woman who kissed him. But as they continue to spend time together, Kerr begins to realize that the thought of her with someone else just doesn't sit right with him. He's falling in love with her but will she be able to forgive his deception?

Thank you to the author, Entangled and NetGalley for this ARC to review.
