    About this audiobook

    Wealthy wool magnate Tremaine St. Michael is half French, half Scottish, and all business. He prowls the world in search of more profits, rarely settling in one place for long. When he meets practical, reserved Lady Nita Haddonfield, he sees an opportunity to mix business with pleasure by making the lady his own.

    Nita Haddonfield has a meaningful life tending to others, though nobody is dedicated to caring for Nita. She insists the limitations of marriage aren't for her, then Tremaine St. Michael arrives-protective, passionate, and very, very determined to win Nita's heart.

    Contains mature themes.

      This is another wonderful Grace Burrowes romance. Tremaine St. Michael is half French and half Scottish and all man! He has traveled to the home of Nicholas Haddenfield to look at his superior herd of sheep and to try to buy the whole herd. Nicholas, however, has his mind on other things. His siblings are his responsibility and several of them at at an age to marry. Tremaine is really not very interested. However, Nita the oldest sister has caught his attention with her independence and intelligence. Tremain has a hard road to travel to capture the beautiful Nita which makes for a very interesting story. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

      This was decent, but I wasn't very drawn in emotionally, and I'm not sure how memorable it'll be for me. I liked that the hero was in business though, and that the heroine was a healer. It gave them a bit more to do than just the usual carriage rides and afternoon teas.
    • 4/5
      While Borrowes's novels can stand alone, even when changing to a new series, I think it's best to have read all the preceding series. She ties her characters and their families together across books, and while yes, the outcome of a romance novel is obvious, it takes something away to see the change and growth before the actual story has been read. Overall, this book was a solid 4 stars. The OTP are honest and interesting, but sometimes, the conversations felt disjointed to the point of confusion. I admit to feeling even more lost than the hero at times.
    • 2/5
      I think this was supposed to be a novel you sink into, wrapped in a blanket and sipping tea. I haven't read a lot of Burrowes' books, she publishes amazingly quickly, therefore, I'm not wildly familiar with all her characters, their families, and connections. I'm going to blame this for the main reason I couldn't sink into the story.
      I liked our lead couple, a bit tepid but reserved in a way with their emotions that matches the times but what I'd call side characters, who are probably well known to avid Burrowes' readers, invaded the story way too much, along with the talk of sheep. I think it was supposed to be trifling funny and add credence to the overall story because, people's livelihood and all but besides the first baby lamb scene, I wanted to say baa-bye to them.
      If I was editor, I would have slashed 70% of the story, I hate to say it but I was bored. I want to say nothing happens but I mean that in an action way, this is strictly a character driven and following along with relationships story. I usually like character driven stories but yeah, I still can't help saying nothing happens. Burrowes is a great writer and can turn a nice phrase but this book is probably better left to readers looking for a slower moving and wide circle of characters with varying stories, book.
      I'm going to try the next in the series and hope it focuses on the main couple more.

      Good story about two people who aren't looking for love but find it anyway. Tremaine is a wealthy businessman who has arrived at the Earl of Bellefonte's estate to negotiate for the purchase of the earl's flock of Merino sheep. Upon arrival, he discovers that he's not the only one interested and that the earl contemplates using the sheep as hooks to find husbands for his sisters. Tremaine has had no thoughts of marriage in the near future but finds himself intrigued by Lady Nita, the oldest of the sisters. Nita considers herself firmly on the shelf. After the death of her mother, she devoted herself to running the house and taking care of her siblings, as well as serving as a healer for the district. With her brother's marriage, she has lost the need to run the house and has thrown herself into caring for the villagers and tenants.I liked both Tremaine and Nita. He is the son of a French Comte and a Scottish woman who lost their lives during the Terror. He is somewhat bitter about the way that his mother abandoned him with his Scottish grandfather and returned to France with her husband. His childhood with his grandfather wasn't very pleasant and has caused him to keep his distance from what little family he has left. He prefers increasing his fortune using his wits rather than depending on his aristocratic background. As plain Mr. St. Michael he doesn't flaunt his wealth. Though a bit standoffish at the beginning, as he spends more time with the family his kindness and thoughtfulness become more apparent. Nita is independent, forthright, and more than a little stubborn. After a brief brush with romance when she was younger, she avoids any plans for marriage. Her dedication to caring for the sick has put her at odds with her family, especially her oldest brother, the local doctor, and the vicar. She won't turn away anyone who comes to her for help, including the local fallen woman. She doesn't judge; she simply renders whatever aid she can.The relationship between Tremaine and Nita developed slowly. Tremaine was drawn to and intrigued by Nita and the way that she cared for everyone else. They began with quiet conversations as they would encounter each other at various times of day. I loved the scenes where Tremaine accompanied Nita to Addy's house. His compassion and kindness were evident, as was the difficulty of the memories that were resurrected. His actions endeared him to Nita, who had expected him to stay distant while she did what she had to do. I also liked her calming effect on him when he had a problem with his sheep. The more time they spent with each other, the more a feeling of attraction grew between them. As Tremaine spent more time thinking about Nita, he began to contemplate the idea of marriage. His thought processes were interesting, as was his broaching of the subject with Nita. She had a rather pragmatic reaction, with an unexpected prerequisite to accepting. One thing they didn't do was talk about their expectations, and this would come back to cause problems. As much as Tremaine admired Nita's dedication to her healing, he didn't seem to understand that it was more than what she does, it was a bone-deep part of who she is. On her side, Nita didn't understand how deep Tremaine's need to protect her was. When those two things came up against each other, and neither was willing to bend, things did not look good for their future. Their eyes were opened by an unexpected crisis, and I liked how both of them took a hard look at their beliefs. I loved their well thought out solutions and compromises.There was a secondary story going on involving Nita's sister Susannah and her determination to marry their neighbor, Edward Nash. It turns out that there is much more going on with him than most of her family knows. Nita has her suspicions, but because she learned it in confidence, she is hesitant to say anything. Personally, I think she was wrong in that instance. I understood Susannah's desire to marry since it was what was expected, but I thought she was settling for too little. I didn't like Edward's attitude and treatment of Elsie and Digby, which gave a good indication of his character. I thought he got off a bit easily at the end.I enjoyed the other secondary characters in the story. Nicholas, of course, who is blissfully happy with his bride, though he also frustrated me at times. If he had simply explained his objections about Nita's healing trips to her, there might not have been so many confrontations. Nita's other two sisters, Della and Kirsten, had their unique personalities and storylines. As the youngest, Della is the one who is most aware of what is going on with everyone else. Kirsten sometimes appears selfish, but she does have a kind heart and ends up being very helpful to Nita. She is also adept at defusing some confrontations. My favorite was George. His differences are handled sympathetically and without judgment. I enjoyed his introspective moments and what they revealed about him. I also liked that Tremaine realized that George was much smarter than many gave him credit for. George also has a very protective side that is revealed in an unexpected way. I hope to see more of him in later books.

      Move over Lost Lords series and make some room for True Gentleman series.
      Grace Burrowes starts her brand new series with Lord Tremaine and it is as awesome as all her other books.

      Let me tell you why I love to read this author. She creates characters that are so real to me that I lose myself in them. She roots her stories in reality, yet their stories are magical.
      Tremaine St. Michael is a tradesman who at the moment is visiting Earl of Haddonfield because he is looking to buy some high quality sheep for their wool.

      Earl’s sister Lady Nita is one of those sisters all brothers dread. She is of strong character and even stronger opinions, and what she does in her “spare” time is something her brother strongly disapproves, so he is taken into his head that sooner she marries, the better it would be for them both.

      I liked that both lead characters were complex and yet straight forward. Their romance was slow, real and utterly sweet.

      I am beyond excited for this new series and cannot wait for the next one, Daniel’s True Desire ;)

      This book taught me more about sheep than i care to know, i have never seen sheep appear so much in a book not about animal husbandry. It was really slow to get into, i took several days to finish it because it got boring along the way. I had no idea why the secondary characters made so much appearance, they made the book disjointed and hard to follow, i had to go back and see if i was actually reading the first book in the series. They were probably meant to be quirky and witty but i found their appearance annoying.Nina and Tremaine's relationship is something else on the other hand, i didn't really see any spark between them, it was always about the sheep, her medical practice and his houses in different places in the world but spark...nada. I got more spark from Elise and George than i got from the main characters in this book. I believe this is a good book if you want to waste time doing nothing but reading a book. I doubt i would be revisiting any other books in this series even though i like Grace Burrowes.

      I liked this book but didn't love it. Nita Haddonfield is determined to to not marry, but to continue treating the poor and infirm in her area. Tremain St Michael is a sheep farmer and French comte who comes to buy merino sheep from Nita's brother Nick. I liked Nick's story in Lord of Secrets, but here he is a cipher and Leah was non-existent. George, the other brother was more interesting, but this wasn't really his story so it was added in more as filler (I would have like a separate book for that to flesh out George's reasoning to take a bride).The story was really about Nita and Tremaine. Tremaine was fine, a little confused when it came to women, but willing to learn. Nita was where I had the problem. She wasn't very likable, feeling she had to take care of people, but not wanting to. When she used that as an excuse later in the book, it just didn't seem realistic. The rest of the Haddonfield girls were also not as interesting and for the first time I'm on the fence about continuing a Burrowes series. But I'll probably go on at least to the next one as I like her writing.
    • 5/5
      Challengingly heartwarming!"The greatest plague to ever bedevil mortal man, the greatest threat to his peace, the most fiendish source of undeserved humility is his sister, and spinster sisters are the worst of a bad lot". With this opening salvo we are given a hint that Nicholas Haddonfield, Earl of Bellefonte, is stretched to the limit by actions of his sister, Nita Haddonfield. All this just as wealthy wool merchant Tremaine St. Michael, who has called to discuss sheep, strides into the Earl's parlour.Before long we witness the dance between Tremaine, his desire for Haddonfield's sheep, the desirable Nita Haddonfield and Nicholas' loving endeavours to marry off Nita. The story line is peppered with truly delightful lines, such as when Nicholas persuades Tremaine to stay for a few days and then proceeds to remind Tremaine that he is 'an eligible bachelor, and therefore, a doomed man.' When Nicholas declares that the 'Haddonfield womenfolk are like faeries. A man falls into their clutches and life ceases to have meaning.' Tremaine fleetingly recalls his Scottish grandfathers adage, 'avoid faeries as if your life depends on it.'Fortunately for us Tremaine doesn't heed his grandfathers advice and we are treated to a searching, searing story of love's challenge alongside discovering self worth.Nita is a determined woman with the gift of healing who cares for those under Nicholas' care. Nicholas wants more for her. Tremaine meets all those requirements but what are Lady Nita's? Nita is determined to eschew marriage so that she can continue what she says as her life's work, the care of the sick and less fortunate. How can she do that and marry?Of course there's an obligatory blackguard in the wings. His fate is both satisfying and a little surprising. Still one should never be surprised by the way Burrowes works her lyrical narrative magic.One last mention. I was not disappointed. The 'foot' once again becomes an endearing romantic opportunity. When Tremaine helps Nita off with her woollen stockings, the tenderness of the action with its sensual overtones is a delight. Thank you Ms. Burrowes!Tremaine and Nita's story is both consummately challenging and exquisitely satisfying. This entry into the new True Gentleman series leads the way with gusto, verve, passion and empathy. A NetGalley ARC
    • 5/5
      Tremaine's True Love by Grace Burrowes is a 2015 Sourcebooks Casablanca publication. I was provided a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I always get excited when a new book by Grace Burrowes is released. I was especially excited about this one because it's the first in the brand new “True Gentleman” series. Tremaine St. Michael is certainly an interesting fellow. His heritage is French and Scottish, he is a well off tradesman, interested in obtaining a flock of Merino sheep. This puts him in direct contact with the Earl of Haddonfield who is looking to sell the sheep, which is how Tremaine meets Nita, the Earl's sister. Tremaine and Nita connect almost instantaneously and the chemistry is palpable. But, the two were quite unprepared for this event and taken completely by surprise. Tremaine is focused on his sheep and his work, while Nita is working with the poor to help provide them with the best medical care possible, especially since the local doctor sits in judgment of the poor and refuses to treat them properly. The romance is one of the sweetest I've read in long time. Deeply romantic and sensual, but not without conflict. Nita's family, especially her brother, Nicholas, is worried that Nita is putting her health at risk by working with the poor, which in turn puts the health of the entire family at stake. While Tremaine admires Nita for her sacrifice and hard work, her independence and down to earth spirit, he too believes her work is too risky. So, will Nita will have to make a choice between marriage and continuing with her work?There are a couple of side stories that are very compelling, especially one which involves the woman and her children, who Nita has been trying to help, and the terrifying possibility that one of Nita's sisters may be about the wed the wrong man. This story was fast paced and very absorbing. I absolutely loved Tremaine and Nita as a couple. They each had to learn to see the situation from the other person's perspective and figure out how to make compromises, and they ended up being an inspiration. Tremaine is just dreamy, and mean really romantic, and so, so sweet. I just loved him! I also love a strong female character who defies convention and chooses to do what she feels is right, even if it comes at a great personal sacrifice. Nita was great character and I admired her dedication to principles. Ms, Burrowes is one of my favorite authors and I love her writing style, but this one has a little added appeal, like a cherry of top of the cake. Very well done! This was a great story all the way around and I am so excited about getting to know the earl's other sisters in future installments. Hands down- 5 stars
    • 4/5
      Burrowes continues her long set of interlocking Regencies with the first in a series about the four Haddonfield sisters (with a bonus romance for the remaining unmarried brother).Lady Nita, who ran the household for a long time after her mother's death, has dedicated her life to providing medical care to all in need. The local doctor is incompetent and refuses to aid the poor and disgraced, so Nita is kept very busy--much to the dismay of her family, especially her oldest brother Nicholas, the earl. Tremaine St. Michael, half French, half Scottish, and all merchant, arrives to buy Nicholas's sheep, valuable merinos. He stays to woo Lady Nita. But his need to protect those he loves clashes with Nita's need to nurture the sick, and for a time their love looks hopeless.Appealing characters and no easy answers make for a winning romance.
