4.0

This review was originally posted on Addicted To Romance

The Bachelor is the latest release from Sabrina Jeffries and such a fun and sweet read this turned out to be. From the first book of the series "Project Duchess" we gain so much learning about this pairing and I was so happy to see that this author Sabrina Jeffries definitely crafted such beauty that is within this story. I wasn't sure quite what to expect from their story but I knew this author wouldn't disappoint me and she definitely endeared me even more with this story.

Lady Gwyn Drake has been keeping a secret from her family in order to protect them. But she is paying a heavy price for it. When her blackmailer, a man she once had a affair with, she is determined to stand up to and in so doing is in a difficult situation when he threatens and manhandles her and then Joshua Wolfe appears and satisfies the situation but realizes that Gwyn needs protection and an arrangement is agreed upon between Joshua and her brother the Duke. Gwyn and Joshua have had an attraction to each other and now that they are in such close proximity....that attraction between them is only expounded upon. But will Gwyn's secrets harm their relationship or will the unveiling only build their intimacy?

The Bachelor was such a charming and delightful romp of a romance, I truly had such a fun time with these characters and this family we got to see in book one. We see so much more depths to both of these characters. With Joshua, his temper and injuries from being in the military and new opportunities that rise up for him. Then we have lovely Gwyn, who is strong and passionate but tends to carry her loads on her shoulders alone and keeps secrets from those who love her the most. We see how Gwyn has to learn to truly trust. She has been hurt and betrayed and there are wounds that are still festering. What I truly became endeared most by was seeing her growth in discovering her own capabilities and learning to trust not only in Joshua but in love again.

Overall I found The Bachelor to be a sweet and sexy adventure of thrills, dares, delightful bantering that strikes a chord in the heart and delivers a beautiful story of redemption and healing!
