- premium: False
- source: The Reading Cafe
- content: " I was certain by the end of Douglas's book, Grace Burrowes would have me melting and falling in love! YUP she not only succeeded in that, but made it happen in the first chapter when we experience our socially and a little emotionally inept yet handsome viscount fetch a young girl out of a tree."
- premium: False
- source: Bitten By Love Reviews
- content: "Her style is distinctive and the wit and humor she writes with has definitely seated her on my must-read list."
- premium: False
- source: Mixed Book Bag
- content: " If you are a fan of the Windham series by Grace Burrowes this is a must read. "This is the "missing" prequel to the Windham series.""
- premium: False
- source: Long and Short Reviews
- content: "DOUGLAS: Lord of Loneliness stands alone beautifully with a memorable love story that is laced with lots of family love and meddling along with humor, and mores of their time in history. Best of all the reader gets the satisfaction of seeing emotionally wounded characters heal and flourish when true love moves in to stay.
Grace Burrowes, with her exquisite style of writing, has given the reader another superb love story set in one of the most interesting times in English history. Captivating!"
- premium: False
- source: Eyes.2C Reviews
- content: "This is a truly romantic tale, beautifully told and refreshingly honest.
Douglas makes a true and unsuspecting knight, who thankfully dons his shining armour without hesitation. Guinevere is a very hurting Lady in Distress, never expecting a knight, and I cheered when that worthy captured her heart."
- premium: False
- source: The Official Tory Michaels
- content: " I enjoyed seeing what Ms. Burrowes does when she has children in a book. Gwen loves her daughter so much, and because of what happened around the conception of said daughter, has locked herself away from any hope of marrying, feeling herself unworthy and a disgrace to family/high society."
- premium: False
- source: 3 Chicks After Dark
- content: "One thing I love most about Grace Burrowes is how she manages to connect her many historical series. Douglas contains one of those links ? you'll be surprised to see who shows up! The Lonely Lords series links to the Windham/Duke's Daughters/Duke's Obsession series. Such a magnificent, tangled web she weaves!"
- premium: False
- source: First Page to Last
- content: " I'm reminded of the theme of Ms. Burrowes books, at least in my opinion, is that FAMILY IS FIRST AND FOREMOST. I do love how the characters hold family dear and they are THERE for them. No matter what. It's a joy to read.
Once again, a lovely way to spend a snowy afternoon! Or even a lovely spring day...depending upon when you are reading my review.
Can't go wrong with a Lonely Lord in your hands.
