About the Book
Will a damaged reputation and desire for society's approval thwart the legacy of grace?
Tainted by scandal and forced to leave London for the quieter
Brighton countryside, the Honorable Miss Clara DeLancey is a shadow of
her former society self. She's lost the man she loved to another and, in
a culture that has no patience for self-pity, is struggling with
depression. A chance encounter brings her a healing friendship with the
sisters of an injured naval captain. But Clara's society mama is
appalled at the new company she's keeping.
Captain Benjamin Kemsley
is not looking for a wife. But his gallant spirit won't let him ignore
the penniless viscount's daughter--not when she so obviously needs
assistance to keep moving forward from day to day. Can he protect his
heart and still keep her safe?
When they're pushed into the highest
echelons of society at the Prince Regent's Brighton Pavilion, this
mismatched couple must decide if family honor is more important than
their hopes. Can they right the wrongs of the past and find future
happiness together--without finances, family support, or royal favor?

My Review
4 STARS!!!
If you have read the two previous books, you will be
familiar with Clara. She made a mess of things for a certain couple, completely
embarrassing herself, and is now ostracized from ‘the ton’. Of course, her
mother was mostly to blame for her poor behavior. Now Clara is feeling
desperate, lost, and unlovable, and so chooses a drastic measure. Fortuitously,
Ben comes to her rescue and is somewhat bewitched by the soulful creature he
saves.
I enjoyed the story even though it was a slow start for me.
It took a few chapters to become invested enough to want to continue on and see
if Clara could regain her honorable standing in society and how that
magnificent feat would be accomplished. Ben is a kind and noble man dealing
with his own demons from the past.
The Dishonorable Miss DeLancey is full of intrigue,
betrayal, jealousy, friendship, and love. With superb themes of grace and
forgiveness, Miller brings the characters through emotionally trying
circumstances to a realization that their pasts can be forgiven and there is a
future filled with hope because of Christ.
If you are a fan of Regency or historical fiction with a
solid faith theme, you will enjoy this offering from Miller who has a firm
grasp on the era and presents it in fashion. I am quite happy to say there is
another series coming in 2018 with more Regency Brides!
