He is ruthless, reclusive, and out for revenge. She is sweet, innocent, and irritatingly cheerful. Why can’t she leave him to his darkness? And why can’t he keep his hands off this beautiful Farthingale?

Enjoy the next offering in the humorous, best selling Regency series - welcome to Chipping Way as another bachelor is about to fall in love with one of the strikingly beautiful Farthingales.

Leonides Poole, the Marquess of Muir is a much-admired agent of the Crown. He has just returned to London after spending the last four years imprisoned in an enemy dungeon. Now that he has been released, he is determined to find the man who betrayed him and exact his revenge. The problem with his well-crafted plan is his unexpected feelings for Marigold Farthingale, the little ray of sunshine who lives next door to him on Chipping Way. She seems to understand ancient skulls and bones more than she understands men. Yet, Leonides knows if he exacts his vengeance, he will lose out on the promise of happiness with the beautiful bluestocking. Which does he value more? The answer is suddenly not so clear.

Marigold Farthingale is quite excited about the dragon-like animal whose skull she discovered while on archeological exploration in Devonshire. She has now returned to London with a crate full of bones she must deliver to the Huntsford Academy and is delighted when her new neighbor, the fierce and reclusive Marquess of Muir, agrees to assist her. She has never met anyone quite like this handsome man. He is intelligent, fierce, and endowed with a stunning musculature she would love to explore. But he is too tormented to think about courtship and marriage. Marigold is about to make her Society debut. It seems such a fuss when the only man she wishes to marry is the marquess. Perhaps if she discovered his secrets...how dangerous can they be?

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT ADDITION TO THE SERIES!
Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024

Another hit by this amazing author! She provides just the right balance with her stories. I’m finding I like more suspense in my historical romance and this hit the spot. You not only get great main and secondary characters, but suspense, many twists, intrigue, murder, and a romance that will make you envious.

The h is a cousin to all the Farthingales. If you haven’t read this authors, Book of Love series, or any in this series, I urge you to start. You always are in for a joyous ride with fantastic banter and never a cookie cutter story. This is a standalone story, with many crossover characters from previous books.

I liked how the h questioned him about being faithful. The h wore her heart on her sleeve and she was just what the H needed, even though he fought it.

Lovemaking within marriage - heat level 4 out of 5 and filled with love and passion. I can’t improve on the blurb, just giving you some other tidbits to decide to purchase. No cheating, no cliffhanger, HEA, romance and steam. Sweet epilogue 6 years in the future. Story ends at 94% on my e-reader. I’ve already preordered the next in the series. (ljb)

This book is a delightful story of a broken and brooding Leonides Poole the Marquess of Muir, who had been captured and held in dungeon s for four years, only recently rescued. The charming bundle of exuberance, positivity and sunshine Marigold Farthingale comes chasing a scull with a spaniel namely Mallow, through Leo's gardens. She also runs through his heart breathing life into his damaged body. He seeks revenge against his enemies who imprisoned him but she wants him to let the Crown officials to do their duty and punish the guilty. Marigold is a bluestocking ameature archeologists who helps to turn Leo's life to loving her rather than revenge. Much mystery, danger, intrigue and life threatening occurrences keep you spellbound. The author keeps you exited with the characters and Farthingale family snoopy, loving fun loving ways. I loved this book so much, it may be my favorite of the Farthingales. So far

I loved this story. Leo is regaining his life after being a prisoner for 4 years. Marigolds literally runs into his life with her pet dog Mellow. Their relationship is the grumpy hero and his sweetheart. The story is well told and satisfying.

Marigold and the Marquess, book 9 of Meara Platt’s Farthingale series I absolutely wonderful! I think it is my favorite book in the series so far. I adore Marigold, who we’ve met before, and Leo is my favorite kind of hero, the wound Warrior! I love the investigation by agents of the Crown, and the murder mystery. This story has it all! Author Meara Platt has a gift in developing her characters and we revisit so many of them in this tale! Magnifico! 💋

Loved this story as much as all of Meara's other books. I love all the Farthingales' and Braydens' stories. All the men are dreamy. Can't wait for "The Make believe Marriage" with Syd and Octavian. I hope it comes out soon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Necessary marriage whilst pursuing revenge
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 12, 2024

A steamy story. The Farthingale series continues with another cousin arriving on Chipping Way. I enjoyed Marigold’s typical Farthingale attitude and it was nice to see Syd and Gory amongst other previous characters from the series be part of it. I would have liked to have seen more of some of them as they are strong in their own ways so would have added to the enjoyment, but I suppose doing that may spoil it for people reading the books out of sequence.
However, I did feel Leo was possibly a bit too stuck on revenge. I can see why he felt as he did, but why would that put him so much off marriage? I also felt the relationship between the 3 villains was slightly convoluted. Nonetheless I liked it so 4 stars. Now I wait for the last one on preorder due in about 8 months.

I really enjoyed Marigold and Leo's story, the addition of Mallow brings another depth to the story. How both of them brings light and love to Leo is great to read, and how all the Farthingale women all come together is wonderful.
