Book review: THE ARISTOCRAT, by Penelope Ward


This book made my heart hurt so bad! It’s been some time since I read this author and had forgotten how she breaks your heart and puts it together again, after making you hurt and yearn for the characters’ happy ending.

A British aristocrat with many expectations of his title and inheritance, and an American girl, product of the foster system, determined to forge a future in law. It’s like a forbidden love but it was explosive and all-encompassing.  The book starts slowly as necessary so you get involved in these two characters and watch as they get closer and closer.  It starts out as fun and flirty, sweet and sexy, but ends up in lots of heartache before giving us the HEA .  


Leo brought his cousin with him on this vacation that is like a sabbatical, and he’s a riot. Sigmund is sarcastic and cutting, but at the same time, funny and kind.  Sig’s playboy stories with the women made me laugh and sometimes I liked him more than Leo because he was so entertaining.


I loved the banter, loved the angst, loved Sig, loved how the happy ending was long and entirely satisfying!  


After reading this story that is so romantic and full of passion, I can’t wait to read Sig’s book, The Surrogate!
