Only by Grace

The Virtues, Book 4

By: Elizabeth Johns

Narrated by: Alex Wyndham

A dreadful mistake, curses and feuds, can there be a happy ending?

Grace Whitford made the mistake of having a horrible megrim at her sister's wedding on board Lord Carew's ship. This in and of itself should not have been a disaster, except she went to sleep it off with a draught in a small dark cabin, and no one remembered to wake her up. By the time she awoke, the ship was well into the Channel and could not be turned around.

Carew had to leave as soon as the wedding was over and the guests disembarked. He'd just received a letter calling him back to Ireland and he had to make haste. When Grace Whitford was discovered as a stowaway, he cursed his fate. Not only was saving his sister in jeopardy, but his bachelorhood. The last thing he needed in his life was a wife, especially one who thought he was a better man than he'd ever be capable of being.

Grace knew Carew did not want her, but since they were stuck together, could she convince him to love her back?

Wonderful & Worth the Wait!

This engaging continuing story was a pleasant visit with old friends, but Alex Wyndam was superb, as always & the Icing on the Cake!!! Please hurry with Joy’s story!

Clean romance, interesting plot

I liked it all. it could really happen in real life and was well told snd read.

Great Plot and characters

Excellent narrator. Even though this is the 4th book in the series, each story/sister has her own unique personality and situation. Love the action involved.... it is not just another regency novel of sighing and relationships. Can't wait for the story about Joy.

I loved it

I liked the characters
And the plot and the description of scenery and events and the sweet sisters and their strength and love
And the amazing men who moved heaven and hell to win them

the shy sister coming out of her shell

Interesting plot with caveats. SPOILERS: The heroine falls sleep on a ship during her sister's wedding and nobody realizes she's been left behind. I guess there are too many sisters to keep track of? A maddened sailor tries to throw her in the ocean? I know Irish sailors were specially superstitious but to break into the captain's cabin? Captains had complete authority over their crew and could send them to their deaths at a whim. The hero falls in love but sends the heroine away "for her own good". Seems he considers himself a bad bargain but they don't explain why (he's handsome, titled, decent and loving to his family). So, they both suffer heartbreak for weeks for no reason. Also, the end is cloyingly sweet.
