A lord for all seasons book 3 read in 2025
This book is about Francesca (3rd sister) her story starts as a teenager at a dance we as the reader find that she has a crush on Adam Fairchild he is the younger son of a Marquess and as the younger son his duty is not bound to becoming the next Marquess (that's for his elder brother) except his older brother is stubborn and when Adam signs up for the military so does his older brother no one is going to tell him what to do.
After the initial prologue there is a time jump where we now find Francesca is a lady she has had some seasons and although so many years have gone by she has never forgotten Adam, no man has ever compared to him and she has remained single. It's been many years and Adam never returned home his brother and father are both gone and no one knows what happened to Adam when he went to war he could possibly be gone too. There is word from one of the local gossips that the new Marquess is moving into the home and Francesca jumps at this news to run over could it be that Adam is still alive... or did some distant relative get the title?
When Francesca gets to the home of the Marquess she finds that Adam has returned but doesn't really remember her at first. Adam has suffered from many things including PTSD (not called that at the time) and suffers from memory loss after a war related injury. It's taken him many years to return to Halton but decides to return to see if he can find some peace his father always loved this place and it is not as busy as the city, what he finds instead of peace is a beautiful young woman who is sassy and clever and won't take no for an answer... and her name definitely isn't Hope he made that mistake once.
Adam wants to be by himself and fight his internal demons on his own but Francesca is a powerhouse and because of her determination he actually finds some joy in his life again and he finds the strength to face his past and if he can take care of some other personal issues maybe he can be the man who deserves a fierce protector like Francesca.
After an accident Francesca and her younger sister end up staying with Adam (not likely to happen in this era with just 2 single ladies... but still entertaining). Of course during their stay at Adam's home he has to fight to stay away from Francesca even though there is now an obvious pull between the two of them they just can't stay away. Could Adam actually be able to live in the sunshine again away from the darkness?
Several laugh out loud moments, good banter, there was some repetitive type paragraphs throughout the book but over all a quick read I have really been enjoying this series.
*historical romance *some spice *PTSD from war, some discussions of battle scenes and death in battle *Soldier/Military * friends --> lovers
