The Disgraceful Lord Gray (The King's Elite Book 3) Kindle Edition

By the author of Never Wager with a Wallflower: In Regency England, a spy finds himself challenged by a spirited heiress . . . “Heath never disappoints.” —Romance Junkies

Miss Theodora Cranford has learned to keep her impetuous nature locked away. She won’t be deceived by another man who can’t see past her fortune. She wants an honorable, sensible sort—not a self-assured scoundrel like her new neighbor, Lord Gray.

But she suspects there’s more to him than meets the eye—and after that first captivating kiss, she’s certainly left wanting more . . .

Praise for the King’s Elite miniseries

“The Mysterious Lord Millcroft is a tender, sensual romance wrapped around an intriguing plot.” —All About Romance

“The Uncompromising Lord Flint is yet another dazzling book . . . “[Heath’s] storytelling skills and character development are unmatched.” —Fresh Fiction

About the Author

When Virginia Heath was a little girl it look her ages to fall asleep, so she made up stories in her head to pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories became more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace the insomnia and start writing them down. Over thirty books and three Romantic Novel of the Year Award nominations later, it still takes her forever to fall asleep.

Entertaining and fun!
The first thing I said when I finished The Disgraceful Lord Gray was,"This book made me so happy!"The Disgraceful Lord Gray could have been titled It All Started With a Wet Dog.Thea and Gray meet and sparks fly. Thea is a lovely character with all my favorite vices. She loves to read, loves animals and creative friends. Thea is sometimes impulsive and says what she is actually thinking and is afraid that this impulsiveness is a bad thing. She blames her impulsiveness for several tragedies that have happened in her past. She also dislikes fortune hunters and is very suspicious of peoples motivations in courting her.Enter the ever so suspicious Gray and his love-able dog Trefor. Gray is a charming, handsome, loyal and funny. Trefor is charming, handsome, loyal and funny. How can Thea resist this pair?I just loved this book. Many surprises, wonderful side characters and an interesting mystery woven into the story. The Disgraceful Lord Gray is an excellent addition to Virginia Heath's series The Kings Elite.I highly recommend this whole series, as each book is a real treat. All the books standalone but are even better together. Bring on Lord Hadleigh's book

In reading this book I fell in love with Trefor, the lovable playful pet of Lord Gray, the silliness of Trefor and his joy of being mischievous in the bargain with his owner brings lots of laughter, and enjoyment.
With Lord Gray, he is a spy with the King's Elite a group of men that is fighting behind closed doors and lives to help their country that they love. Lord Gray is on assignment with Lord Cedrick to catch them a spy against the crown and in so doing Lord Gray meets Lady Thea Cranford, a lady that has a impetuous manner that she is trying hard to hold in because of what she feels is her vain in finding a husband, one that will love her for herself not her money.
Lady Thea is visiting with her friend in the country when she meets Lord Gray in an interesting manner, through the help of Trefor, whose love of going after sticks wherever they seem to land.
Lord Gray, is on a mission that he needs to make sure and to get proof that a certain Viscount Gislingham is in fact a traitor to that he will need to befriend him and be invited into the Viscount's inner circle of friends. While doing his mission he starts to fall for Lady Thea and in keeping with his mission try not to hurt her.
This book brings together two people that have so much to fight and so much to win and in the meantime try to realize what really matters, love or being perfect but, they have help lovable Trefor is helping them.
Love this 2nd book of the King's Elite and can't wait to read the next

4.0 out of 5 stars Historical romance and py adventure
Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2019
I was privileged to receive an ARC of this book from the author. The ARC was given without obligation. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

As I've been sick and on my deathbed *drama queen alert!*, I was lucky enough to have a terrific book to keep me company. Virginia Heath has written an intriguing story of love and, my favorite, spying. The Disgraceful Lord Gray is book #3 in The King's Elite series, of which I now have to buy #1 and #2 and preorder #4. I adore a beguiling series.

The best part, for me, of this story is the hero's sidekick, a Labrador Retriever, I have one. I learned that the Lab was originally called a St John's. His name is Trefor, a tribute to Ms. Heaths own dog, internet sensation Trevor (sigh). Check him out on Facebook, he's wonderful. Before I get too carried away, I should get on to the story.

Ms Theadore Cranford is a heiress in search of love, not just a husband. The fortune hunters have worn her out and at this point she'd rather be alone *you go girl*. Thea has the loveliest head of thick red hair and our hero quickly becomes a fan of redheads. Thea's parents have died and she happily lives with her beloved uncle and his icky second wife. She sees herself as two people, Restrained Thea, who never causes trouble and is very boring, and Impetuous Thea, who makes trouble by the bucketful and is interesting.

Our hero is Lord Gray, formally known as Lord Graham Chadwick. After hitting a rough patch in his young life, Gray was disowned by his family He became a sailor and that led to him becoming a *yeah* spy. I love a good spy story. The first meeting between our two leads is priceless, I laughed out loud. Gray has lovely blue-green eyes that Thea noticed after observing his naked butt *yeah again*.

In the secondary character spots we have Lady Harriet Crudington and Lord Cedric Fennimore. Second chance at love stories can be so sweet. I hope book #4 finishes their tale, I loved them.

You're going to find much hot flirting, steamy glances and a plethra of sparks. And it's not all from our main characters. I'm suprised the book wasn't smoking. A final thought, I was impressed by the 'grand gesture'. It proves without a doubt that there's true love and not just lust. Happy reading.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my fave in this series.
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2020

I've been looking forward to Gray's story after seeing him pop up mischievously in the previous three books, and I did enjoy his character in this book. There was a gentle, friendly humor throughout the book that I enjoyed. That said, I was a little disappointed with the romantic interest: Thea. Her conviction that her very minor acts of rebellion in the past had somehow caused bad things to happen to her loved ones both didn't make sense in and of itself and also wasn't brought forward enough to really create any tension in the story. In terms of behavior, Impetuous Thea and Responsible Thea simply did not appear all that different. This was a huge missed opportunity to add humor to the story. Also, it was a bit disappointing that Thea was so passive compared to other heroines in the series, who all got the chance to save their man's bacon at some point. Thea did figure out who the baddy was, but idiotically ran off to confront them without telling anyone. Overall, an ok read, but it could have been better.

A hero who has lost everything in the past including his heart, a heroine who fears losing control and those she holds dear in the present.... Whilst the Kings Elite continue their search for the people behind the treasonous smuggling cabal , this story has a lot to say about love and the way it shapes people's lives.
A fabulous story.
