Lord Blackwell's Promise

Written by Ashtyn Newbold

Narrated by Christine Rendel

Until death do they part . . .

Margaret Lovell tries her best to love everyone. But when it comes to Lord Blackwell, she doesn't care to succeed. After the young Earl of Blackwell accused her father of cheating and tricked him out of his fortune, she has despised him for causing their disgrace and lack of security. So when she learns that Lord Blackwell is on his deathbed, she cannot help but feel a lack of sympathy. With her family's financial situation worsening, she doesn't have time to think of anything else, especially the man who caused it.

Peter Trafford, Earl of Blackwell, has never had reason to evaluate his life before now. But with certain death looming before him, he is awakened to a sense of his guilt. When struck with this strange desperation to repair his misdeeds, he writes a letter to Margaret Lovell, the daughter of the man whose reputation he singlehandedly destroyed. In the letter, he offers to marry her. He offers Margaret and her family a life of wealth and comfort-and promises that he will die shortly after their wedding.

But promises, fickle as they are, have a way of breaking.

Reviews for Lord Blackwell's Promise

[Berly · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a unique storyline. This is the final book in the Larkhall Letters series and could be read as a standalone. I found it beneficial to read the series in order though. I earlier books we see both of these main characters and some of the issues they have to deal with progress to the point where they find themselves in this story.

Again I listened to the audiobook and I really enjoyed it. I was glad the narrator gave Lord Blackwell his own voice similar to what he'd had in the previous books.

There were a couple of things that didn't quite make sense to me as far as continuity and historical accuracy, but it was easy enough for me to overlook those and enjoy the story. I really enjoyed listening to this whole series. I just have to go back and read the prequel novella that wasn't listed in the original list I found for the series. And it isn't on audio.
