The Replacement Husband

by Eliot Grayson 

Goddess-blessed Owen Honeyfield is destined to enjoy perfect good fortune, and the arrival of handsome and eligible Tom Drake in his country town appears to be just the latest manifestation. Tom’s proposal is the fulfillment of Owen’s desires, but Owen is left heartbroken and at the mercy of Arthur, Tom’s disapproving elder brother, when his betrothal takes a disastrous turn. His reputation ruined and his bright future shattered, Owen must choose between loneliness and practicality.

Arthur Drake has taken responsibility for Tom’s scandalous behavior all their lives. He doesn’t think much of his brother’s engagement, knowing that even Owen’s sweetness won’t be enough to influence Tom for the better. When Tom’s impulsive selfishness threatens to ruin the lives of everyone involved, Arthur has only one honorable choice. He’ll need to repair the damage Tom has done and fight for his own happiness, knowing all the while he may never be able to take Tom’s place in Owen’s heart.

The Review:

Such a delight!👬🌈👬 LOVED IT!!!

The Replacement Husband was a breath of fresh air. The times I pictured the brooding Arthur as real life actor Aiden Turner were too numerous to count. I love the strong alpha males, who love passionately and protect with a primal force that makes you shudder while still exuding gentlemanly nature. **swoon… Someone pass me the smelling salts and a fan, I think I am taking on the vapors… **giggle… 💕

ANYWAY, when Arthur’s younger brother, leaves his fiance, Owen (who happens to be Goddess-blessed) in a bit of a predicament that could cause a scandal for the young man, Arthur offers a way through. Chivalry is NOT dead, people… at least not in our romance novels, thank the goddess! 💜

This story was so charming worthy of any historical romance you would read today. The characters had life and their world had true substance. The pace was good, and every word counted. No fluff here. 

I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I hope this author sticks around, as we need more of these types of MM Romance to fill our shelves. Such a delight! 👬🌈👬 LOVED IT!!
