TOUR w/GIVEAWAY - A Notorious Vow (The Four Hundred, #3) by Joanna Shupe


A Notorious Vow

The Four Hundred, #3

by Joanna Shupe
Publication Date: September 25th 2018
Publisher: Avon Books
Genre: Adult, Historical Romance

Joanna Shupe returns to New York City’s Gilded Age, where fortunes and reputations are gained and lost with ease—and love can blossom from the most unlikely charade.

The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of . . . A NOTORIOUS VOW (The Four Hundred, #3) . . . Another Lady from London on to her adventure in the new world and the big city of New York. The Gilded Age in New York was where the ladies of England come to find fortune, husbands, and redemption. Lady Christina finds that she becomes the soul pair of shoulders to carry the burdens of her family's disgrace. 

Oliver was most certainly not your typical hero. He had some issues both physical and emotional. He was one of a kind and yet you still can't help but to fall in love with him. He sees the world one way. He must make things better. 

Each book of this series brings us a round of characters, both primary and secondary, that you want to know more about them and if one of them will be next to have a HEA. The series has provided very unique young ladies, determined to make their choices their way. The each find a distinct counterpart. Watching them fall for each other was what made this so much fun. 

Joanna provides you with a journey in the past. She brings the Gilded Age to life with the surroundings, tone of voice, meek virgin, controlling parents (too a point), manipulative family. The unconventional hero makes me love this read more. 


BLURB

With the fate of her disgraced family resting on her shoulders, Lady Christina Barclay has arrived in New York City from London to quickly secure a wealthy husband. But when her parents settle on an intolerable suitor, Christina turns to her reclusive neighbor, a darkly handsome and utterly compelling inventor, for help.

Oliver Hawkes reluctantly agrees to a platonic marriage . . . with his own condition: The marriage must end after one year. Not only does Oliver face challenges that are certain to make life as his wife difficult, but more importantly, he refuses to be distracted from his life’s work—the development of a revolutionary device that could transform thousands of lives, including his own.

Much to his surprise, his bride is more beguiling than he imagined. When temptation burns hot between them, they realize they must overcome their own secrets and doubts, and every effort to undermine their marriage, because one year can never be enough.

EXCERPT 
He was done fighting.
If she did not desire him, then so be it. He would not pressure or try to convince her. However, if there was a chance for them to occasionally enjoy each other physically during the next few months, he was dashed well going to take it.
Then she could find a normal man, one without Oliver’s quirks and stubbornness.
Until then, she was his.
Mouth gone dry, he licked his lips. “May I ask you a question?” She nodded so he went back to the ledger and wrote. The night in the gallery, were you disappointed I did not kiss you?
Her brows rose slightly as she read, clearly taken aback by his question, but she did not look at him. Instead, she took the pencil from his hand and turned over a new page in the book. A bit.
Heart pounding in his chest, he wrote, And if I asked to kiss you now, what would be your answer?
Her fingers gripped the pencil so tightly while writing that her fingertips went white. She bit her lip as she turned the ledger toward him.
I would say yes.
She’d actually written it.
Christina could scarcely believe she’d done it. Yet somehow it was easier to be truthful on paper than speaking aloud.
And it had been the truth. She wanted to kiss him. Badly.
