#1 Bestseller in Regency Romance!
Prolific author G.G. Vandagriff creates a world full of intrigue, suspense, and romance that fans of the Regency Period will adore. Vandagriff writes in a style reminiscent of Georgette Heyer."--Deseret News.
When Miss Caroline Braithwaite, the “Incomparable,” leaves London in the middle of the Season, she confides her reason in no one, not even her closest friend. Her sizable court of gentlemen mourn, but no one can tempt her into Society again.
Living reclusively in the country, she finally deigns to accept an invitation to her friend’s county house party. Then the Duke of Northcott arrives, fresh from a broken engagement, and none too happy to see her. Caro tries desperately to make her excuses and leave, but then her pride intervenes. Such behavior may reveal her fierce attraction toward him and the fact that it is he who has broken her heart. Deception is at hand in the form of another gentleman who is more than a little interested in her, and looks like he may not take no for an answer.

This story has everything, including the kitchen sink. I downloaded it for free so I shouldn't complain (although I will) and I read the whole thing (as speedily as possible) so I am to blame for my own misery. That's my shameful secret: I read it all. Mea culpa. But yet...I'll be snarky anyway.The only trope this story leaves out is the heroine having a secret baby, although it comes close to that with a secondary character. We have 1) lots of miscommunication and misunderstanding; 2) a total jerkwad of a hero, one who is so dense that he can't figure out who he's in love with and, not only that, he's idiot enough to ask a gently-bred debutante to be his mistress; 3) disappearance of a main character; 4) a case of amnesia, something no HR should be without, of course; 5) abduction of the heroine; 6) upper-class ladies and their altruistic hobbies of soup kitchens and orphans, and I'm sure there's a 7, 8, 9, and 10 of derivative ideas in this book but I've managed to get most of it out of my head already.
So there's all this stuff happening, but the book is interminable and dull, with lackluster, unappealing characters and too many derivative plotlines. I'm an idiot. I did not read any reviews of this before buying it and, not only that, I kept on reading it to the very end. In my defense, I must say that I was more or less prisoner of my stationary bike, wanting to get my 25 miles in, so just kept on reading what I had started. I don't know which wore me out more, the biking or the reading.
This does get two stars instead of one because it's fairly well edited. Few mistakes, either of spelling or grammar.

Miss Braithwaite Secret Six Rogues and Their Ladies Book 3 edition by GG Vandagriff Romance eBooks Reviews
Miss Caro Braithwaite's Secret, first of all, is unrequited love for Ned Fitzhugh, the Duke of Beverley. She is the Incomparable One of this Season among the ton, but she actually finds the London scene tedious and phony, especially once the duke's engagement is announced to Lady Sarah and Caro's heart is broken. She prefers life in the country and writing plays for children's groups anyway. Caro doesn't tell anyone why she is so depressed, not even her childhood playmate, Jack, and his wife, Kate, who are usually in her confidence. But Sarah unexpectedly breaks the engagement, and Ned and Caro end up at the same house party. Her playful spirit with the children during the informal setting of a country fete inspires him to fall in love with her, so he proposes and tells her he will speak with her father in the morning. Unfortunately, he receives a letter immediately afterward with unexpected news concerning Sarah, and he feels compelled to set off early the next day without any explanation to Caro or her family.
That's just the beginning. We have Sarah's very convoluted situation that sends Ned off on several journeys to discover information that she could have told him herself directly. When he tries to reunite with Caro, she's furious with him for breaking her heart twice and refuses to see him. He goes sailing, gets caught up in a storm that sweeps him out into the ocean, goes missing, and is presumed dead. Caro has come to regret not giving him a chance to explain himself and once again is heartbroken.
This is still only about halfway through the book. The rest includes Caro's engagement under duress, as her father now has some medical issues and is concerned about her future if she isn't married when he dies. There is amnesia, there are more adorable children (this time orphans) that Caro is directing in another play she has written, there is a villain, there is a kidnapping, there is an escape. The only thing missing is the kitchen sink.
I was thoroughly entertained the whole book. It seems like at least 3 books in one, considering the series of obstacles our hero and heroine must hurdle to come to their happily-ever-after. The misunderstandings early in the story where Ned doesn't realize that Caro had favored him over her other beaux and where Caro won't listen to the full story about why Ned left her hanging are annoying, but the rest is definitely a romp if you don't mind that there isn't a single specific turning point in the entire book. Instead, there are quite a few, depending on which part of the book you're reading. There is a fair amount of romance mixed in, of course, but nothing graphic. It's a clean, light and fun read .
Caro Braithwaite loved Ned Fitzhugh the Duke of Beverly but he had gotten engaged to Lady Sarah . She leaves London because of this but no else knows why she left. She ends up later at a house party and Ned is there he is no longer is engaged to Lady Sarah. He will leave and go back to Lady Sarah. Caro gets involved with Harry and Ned gets jealous... Caro also gets into a dangerous situation will Ned be there to save her? You will meet characters from the other books. I read all three easier to know who is who as they appear in other books.
To say this book is mediocre and frustrating is probably an understatement. It was so formulaic and chock full of contrivances as to be absurd.
I think the author must have had a list. Wealthy and handsome duke, check. Beautiful and incomparable heroine, check. Immediate attraction to each other, check. Lack of any real communication between the two, check. Ridiculous and misguided betrothal to another woman, check. Duke gets jilted, check. Tug of war, attraction and trading of insults between the hero and heroine, check. Duke proposes and heroine accepts but, of course, the next morning when he is supposed to meet her father to make it official, he receives a letter that threatens a scandal and runs off to deal with it without any communication with the heroine, check. Heartbreak for the heroine, check. Duke shows up 2 weeks later after resolving potential scandal...and she won't listen to his explanation, check. Duke suffers heartbreak, check. Duke lost at sea, presumed dead, heroine has broken heart...check, check and check. Amnesia, heroine engaged to a villain, duke found, heroine kidnapped ... etc, etc, etc.
There was absolutely no imagination in the plot of this book. I'm giving it 2 stars because I actually finished it. By the way, the ending was so abrupt that it was a mental hitting of the proverbial brick wall.
