I was all anticipation waiting for this second book in L.L. Diamond’s series, The Montford Cousins. If you haven’t read An Endeavour to be Worthy, or listened to that audiobook, I highly recommend doing so before starting A Gentleman of Worth, although it can be read as a stand-alone novel.
I loved this brilliant forced marriage plot for a dear couple, Amelia Montford and Sir Anthony Green, who actually love one another, even if one of them can’t acknowledge it right away. The chemistry between them is evident, and the love and camaraderie among all the cousins is fun and pleasing. This favourite author’s proficient writing style is always a given, and again, the estimable portrayal of all her characters and their development is always outstanding which endears the reader to them. Like Lady Rebecca in Ms. Diamond’s books An Unwavering Trust and An Earl’s Conquest, I will surely remember the Montfords of this captivating series with fondness.
An excellent narration by Deborah Balm. She has a lovely tone of voice for both the male and female characters and performs the emotions very well. I wouldn’t hesitate to listen to any audiobook she narrates and glad she has continued as narrator for this series.
Highly recommend
