Three Chances to Cherish

A Steamy Second Chance Marriage Historical Romance (Blackwood Legacy, Book 3)

From USA Today bestselling author Grace Callaway comes a deeply emotional Victorian romance about a marriage in trouble, second chances in love, and a slow-burn passion that defies all the rules.

Years ago, Lord James Harrington, the Earl of Manderly, saved Miss Evie Ashewood and made her his countess. Their marriage was meant to be a sanctuary—until a threat to Evie’s life shatters their fragile peace and exposes her hidden wounds.

Now the quiet earl is tormented by an improper longing…for the wife he adores but cannot reach.

Brilliant, shy, and far more comfortable in a greenhouse than a ballroom, Evie never intended to marry—least of all a man as impossibly perfect as James. Yet behind closed doors, his tenderness awakens dangerous desires.

As secrets from her past begin to unravel, Evie must choose between guarding her heart and revealing truths that could ruin her husband’s future.

But danger is closing in. An ancient village prophecy, a looming enemy, and the fragility of new trust threaten to tear the couple apart.

Will James and Evie fight for another chance at happily ever after…or lose each other before their hearts can fully bloom?

A sensual, emotional Victorian romance with high angst, deep tenderness, and a hard-won happily ever after.

I wanted to like this, I really did

Great narration. But sadly, the story fell completely flat for me. I enjoyed the other two books in the series for what they were… silly but entertaining. This one was hard to get through. The main characters were sooooo unlikable, Evie especially made me want to pull my hair out. I’ll continue the series and write this one off as a waste of time.
