The Honorable Choice

Victorian Love, Book 2

By: M.A. Nichols

Narrated by: Madeleine Brolly

A marriage they didn’t choose. A child conceived in a lie. Can they overcome their broken dreams and find happiness in a life forced upon them?

At her age, Ruby Jeffries knows better than to dream of love, but then, Lucas Ashbrook sweeps into her life with whispered declarations of love and fervent kisses. He’s everything she’s hoped for, and Ruby would risk far more than the scandal of an elopement to be with him. But when she discovers Lucas faked the wedding to win a bet, Ruby is left with more than a broken heart.

Conrad Ashbrook spends his life mending that which his elder brother breaks, and when Lucas abandons the young lady bearing his child, Conrad has no choice but to shoulder that responsibility as well. Marrying a lady he doesn’t love and raising his brother’s child wasn’t what Conrad wanted for his future.

Can a marriage starting with such pain ever bring them happiness?

The Victorian Love series is a spin-off series that follows the children of the heroes and heroines of the Regency Love Series. Each audiobook in both series is a stand-alone sweet historical romance and can be listened to in any order.

Unique Storyline

I have just “found” this author. This is the second book I’ve listened to via Audible. After reading the book description, I wasn’t sure I was going to find it as enthralling as the first, but I was wrong. The story was much different from the previous book which I appreciated. The narrator once again did an excellent job. I will admit I enjoy a little witty banter the books I choose - and neither really have it. However, what these books do have thus far are wonderful lessons about the ups and downs in relationships and the importance of trust and communication. I think these are great books for all women (and men) but particularly our younger readers. There is much that can be learned about relationships through a well told story.
