Having loved him deeply, Felicity has struggled with her grief, but at least she has her beautiful little daughter to cherish. Deciding she must try to forge some sort of life for herself, Felicity returns to her hometown in Bath to spend some time with her family. And as she dips her toe back into the social scene, Felicity is delighted to have the support of her childhood best friend, Gavin Stark, Viscount Derington.

Gavin, or Dering to his friends, had always loved Felicity, and was left heartbroken when she married someone else, even though she was unaware of his feelings. Determined to grab every opportunity that came his way, while always making sure his heart will never be risked again, Dering has created a successful life for himself. But his heart bursts back to life when Felicity returns home and their friendship is renewed. Can he risk being vulnerable again with the one person who could destroy him? And as passion sizzles between them can Felicity take a chance at love for a second time?

THE VISCOUNT RISKS IT ALL by Erin Knightley is a beautiful tale of love, loss and never-ending friendship. The author effortlessly transports us to the beautiful town of Bath where the setting comes to life in front of our very eyes. Felicity and Gavin are in-depth characters, and their emotions are conveyed so eloquently I could not help but feel their pain. With interfering families, confusion and plenty of Regency flair, THE VISCOUNT RISKS IT ALL by Erin Knightley is a perfect read, and I highly recommend it
