The Trouble with True Love
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Description
Dear Lady Truelove,
I am a girl of noble family, but I am painfully shy, especially in my encounters with those of the opposite sex . . .
For Clara Deverill, standing in for the real Lady Truelove means dispensing advice on problems she herself has never managed to overcome. There's nothing for it but to retreat to a tearoom and hope inspiration strikes between scones. It doesn't—until Clara overhears a rake waxing eloquent on the art of "honorable" jilting. The cad may look like an Adonis, but he's about to find himself on the wrong side of Lady Truelove.
Rex Galbraith is an heir with no plans to produce a spare. He flirts with the minimum number of eligible young ladies to humor his matchmaking aunt, but Clara is the first to ever catch his roving eye. When he realizes that Clara—as Lady Truelove—has used his advice as newspaper fodder, he's infuriated. But when he's forced into a secret alliance with her, he realizes he's got a much bigger problem—because Clara is upending everything Rex thought he knew about women—and about himself. . . .

"I adore everything she writes." — Julia Quinn
"Guhrke charms from the beginning with a premise that ensures readers there will be plenty of humor and passion on the path to a HEA. Readers will be glued to the pages and entertained by her deft prose and careful plotting, and will delight in the characters whose voices ring true as the story races ahead to a satisfying ending." — RT Book Reviews (4 stars)

Clara is temporarily left in charge of her family's newspaper and can handle everything but the advice-to-the-lovelorn column, leading her to a secret alliance with an infamous London aristocrat.When her beautiful, accomplished sister extends her honeymoon, Clara Deverill is determined to rise to the occasion and take care of their family newspaper business while she's gone. Dealing with the atrocious editor is awful, but the real challenge is in taking over the paper's popular advice column, supposedly written by "Lady Truelove": "A woman who was shy and plain, who stammered when she was nervous and had never caught a man's eye in her life, could hardly be splendid at advising people about love and romance." When she overhears a gentleman giving his friend advice on how to manipulate a marriage-minded lady into continuing a love affair, Clara is affronted and uses the conversation to inspire a column which, unbeknownst to Clara, causes negative circumstances for both men. However, when she meets Rex socially and he realizes she wrote the column, she learns something of its consequences and wonders if she overreacted without having had all the information. Overcoming their initial fury, they reach enough of a detente to make a deal: she will pay him to secretly write the column, since he clearly understands romance and human nature better than she does. He agrees because he needs money, which she attributes to his reputed profligate lifestyle. However, as an unexpected attraction flares between them and they learn more about each other's vulnerabilities, they reach an impasse. Clara's goal is marriage, which is not on the viscount's agenda. Meanwhile, his wise columns and moral support see her confidence growing in surprising, empowering ways. But can the two find their way to happiness? Guhrke (The Truth About Love and Dukes, 2017, etc.) astutely maneuvers two seemingly mismatched characters to look beyond their own preconceived truths to better understand themselves so they can truly love each other.A charming, insightful historical romance.COPYRIGHT(2018) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Starred review from February 15, 2018
With her sister extending her honeymoon and her brother staying in America to deal with his newly unearthed silver mine, shy, conventional Clara Deverill finds herself temporarily in charge of her family's newspaper and forced to fill in for her sister as the Weekly Gazette's advice columnist, the anonymous Lady Truelove. The only problem is that Clara knows nothing about the subject--until she overhears a handsome rake giving appalling romantic advice to a friend and she decides to use the column to warn the anonymous lady against it. Her plan succeeds only too well. When an angry Viscount Galbraith storms into her office, she makes him an offer that he eventually accepts--but with a few conditions. An idealistic, marriage-minded heroine and a cynical, marriage-averse hero struggle in vain against an attraction neither had seen coming and both know will never work--or will it? VERDICT Engaging prose, witty barbs, and sigh-worthy sensuality make this humorous Victorian charmer an excellent addition to Guhrke's series and a most diverting read. Guhrke (The Truth About Love and Dukes) lives in the Northwest.
