Book Review: One Night to Remember by Erica Ridley

One Night to Remember (Wicked Dukes Club Book 5)

In “One Night to Remember,” author Erica Ridley continues to surprise her audience by having a working-class gent in a Regency historical fiction as the romantic hero. Curricle racing champ Giles Langford is a blacksmith by trade and has no aristocratic claims whatsoever.

Felicity Sutton might currently bear the title Lady before her name, but she had poor beginnings before her brother unexpectedly inherited Duke of Colehaven. So, truly she had more things in common with Giles Langford than most members of the haute ton.

But though Felicity and Giles find themselves falling in love, Felicity could not marry him. She needed a husband with a title and riches so that she could realize her dream of founding a charity for orphans. Hence, though snobbery was not the reason, Felicity had to choose between and Lord and not even a Mister because for all intent and purposes, Giles is just another worker who provided service for the aristocrats.

Again, like the first two books before it, “One Night to Remember” also teaches a lesson, i.e. what you are looking for might be just in front of you; only thing you have to do is take the blinders off.

I don’t want to go through the particulars of that one because if I do, there will be spoilers. Let me just say that “One Night to Remember” is Rated T for Teens because the message of this book is as much for them as it is for adults.
