Loving a Lost Lord by Mary Jo Putney is the first in the Lost Lords series and was a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know 4 of the "lost lords" and seeing the romance blossom between Mariah and Adam.
Mariah and her father have just moved into Harley Manor after her father won the estate in a card game. The former owner, Mr. Burke, wants to marry Mariah in order to get the estate back so he starts forcing his way into Mariah's life in an attempt to get her to marry him. She pretends a husband in an effort to deflect his attentions, but he doesn't believe her.
Then, fate intervenes, and Adam washes ashore on her property. He doesn't have a memory, and she tells him he's her husband. The romantic interplay happens from this point forward, successfully deflecting the attentions of Mr. Burke. Adam's memory is slow to return and there is ample opportunity for the couple to get to know one another.
The book ends with a highly satisfying ending. I'm looking forward to the other Lost Lords books.
Highly recommended to romance readers.
