Rescuing Lord Inglewood by Sally Britton
4.0
Esther Fox thinks she's a bother. She feels a burden to her step-brother and sister-in-law who she lives with, and now she's a burden to poor Lord Inglewood who she saved from near disaster. When her spunky attitude and the constraints of society spur more trouble than expected, she's forced to marry one of her brother's closest friends. Will she continue to be treated like she's the "little sister" of his best friend or will the "Lord of Stone" fall in love with her?
I really liked this book. It's a sweet, easy read that made me want to cozy up in a chair and finish in one sitting. As a military spouse, I liked the military theme woven throughout (Esther's brother, Isaac) that spoke of the hardships of knowing and loving someone in the military. I also liked the way it starts weaving a path for the characters that will be in the following series of books. While I would definitely read it again, there were just a few things that prevented me from giving a full 5 stars.

The number one thing that bothered me throughout this book was that even though Lord Inglewood always did the right thing in every circumstance by helping her, marrying her, protecting her, and more, she took everything he did as an offense. There were so many times the couple seemed to be making progress and then BAM! she was upset about the way he said or did something. It was very frustrating for the reader.
I also wish it had just a tad more romance in it. There were definitely some scenes that were romantic, but they were very light. Even toward the end, when they said they loved each other it felt rushed, not sweet and romantic.
