Publisher's summary

Mabel Matthias agreed to be married off to benefit her family because it was the duty of a noble daughter. Raised as a doll to be obedient and do exactly what the men of her family, and later her husband, tell her, she endures the humiliation of her husband already having a mistress who lives in their house.
And it only gets worse from there.
After six years of torture at the hands of her husband, his mistress, and the house’s staff, her husband demands for her to sign divorce papers. As excited as she is at the prospect of being freed from that monster, she has to speak to her father first.
But instead of a man concerned that his daughter comes home abused and scarred, he demands she go back and fix her marriage or kill herself instead of embarrassing the family with a divorce. Her brothers make it worse by jeering at her after all she has suffered to improve their lives.
No more. No more will she allow herself to be treated this way by monsters who have no love for her and abuse her.
Grand Duke Ian Brooker sees the sister he cannot save when he looks at his enemy’s wife even as her beauty captivates him. Commander Andre Lessa is ready to give up on his position and his hopes for the future when he encounters the most surprising woman who is fighting to keep going and he can’t seem to stop thinking about her.
But will either be able to help her, or will their history get in the way of what is best for Mabel?

Tantalizing Trilogies is a series of trilogies by author Erin R Flynn. The worlds will be different, the characters won’t intermingle or overlap, and each trio stands alone… But with the convenience of always being in the same location. No confusion here, simply strong females, hot romances, and a bit of kicking ass and taking names.

*This book is part of a series and cannot be read as a standalone. Like all my books, this is not light and fluffy and includes dark themes and events some may find triggering. Reader discretion is advised.

A very original take on Regency fantasy

If you are interested in modern social takes in a fantasy regency setting, this is a series for you.
The main character deals with horrifying abuse - mostly in the past and not overly graphic - and struggles to lift herself from the bonds of oppression from her father, former husband and the social and legal constraints faced by women.
Quite nicely weaves in magic of several kinds.
Narrated by virtual voice (computer) in the bland female variety.
