Marooned with a Marquis: A Steamy Regency Romance by Emily E.K. Murdoch
3.0
A really good story that's just not for me.
Miss Adena Garland just wanted to take a walk on the beach. But the tide came in quickly and she ends up trapped on an island with Luke, the Marquis of Dewsbury. Luke is a rogue and is keeping some secrets and Adena is young but spirited. As they try to keep warm for the night, will they give in to temptation?
First off, I really enjoy Emily E.K. Murdoch's writing style and this book is no exception. It's easy to read and there are moments of humor and seriousness throughout. Adena defies expectations and I appreciate watching her put Luke in his place. He's definitely much less likeable, although it's satisfying to read about this rake finally having to grovel.
The only reason I didn't rate this book higher is because of Luke. He makes some choices that I can't agree with and hit on things that I'm just very sensitive about. If you enjoy historical romance and don't mind characters keeping secrets that impact the relationship, I definitely think you should read this book. I flew through it.
Trigger warning: loss of a loved one
