Description
Fans of the traditional Regency Romances of Georgette Heyer and the more emotional Regencies of Mary Balogh will enjoy this unforgettable romance from New York Times bestselling author Candice Hern. Jack Raeburn, a longtime pleasure-seeking rakehell, is now unexpectedly the Marquess of Pemerton, a title inherited after the tragic deaths of his father and older brothers. Unfortunately, he inherited a mountain of debts along with the title, and believes his only option is to marry an heiress. He finds a surprising champion in Lady Mary Haviland, a spinster of unremarkable looks and a charming personality, who has decided to help him find a bride. When Jack discovers that Mary has a large fortune, their comfortable friendship takes an unexpected new direction. By turns witty and emotional, A CHANGE OF HEART follows the path of two wounded souls from friendship to betrayal to redemption. The ballrooms of London and the rugged cliffs and coves of the South Devon coast come alive in this poignant tale of the healing power of love. "Ms. Hern mesmerizes us with the blistering emotional intensity of an unforgettable love story. A powerful and compelling romance. A keeper, by the most discriminating of definitions." – Romantic Times "This book is an exquisite journey. A joyous, passionate tale full of life and laughter." – The Romance Reader Read more

When Black Jack Raeburn’s father, his two elder brothers, and his only male nephew died in a boating accident, he becomes the Marquis of Pemerton. Not only is this charming rake dealing with the grief of his family, but he discovers that the family money is virtually gone, heavy mortgages on all the various estates. He needs a wealthy bride before anyone discovers how desperate he is to marry. He finds unexpected assistance from tiny Lady Mary Haviland, a woman who has a predilection for befriending rakes and rogues. Because she has been told her whole life that she was ugly and useless, Mary never expects any of the men to court her, despite enjoying their flirtations. It isn’t long before she and Jack become close friends. Unfortunately he discovers just how wealthy she is and proposes, never letting her know his own financial situation. Nor does he claim to love her, not wanting to lie to her face. Sadly the best laid plans of well-intended rakes tend to go awry, leaving Jack with his second jilting and Mary running not only from Jack, but her father’s abusive memories. This is such an emotional tale, so much angst that it would overwhelm a story in the hands of a lesser talent. Hern weaves an intricate path from humor to angst to love and back again. I, like Mary, have a fondness for rakes and rogues who have a deeply hidden heart of slightly tarnished gold. A secondary romance between Olivia, Mary’s companion, and Edward, Jack’s uncle (the man who taught him everything he knew about living life to the fullest) is delightful. We also catch up with Robert and Emily from the first book in the series. Melodramatic in all the best ways. 5 out of 5.

Like some readers, the beginning was abrupt but I don't know how else you could have done it. Maybe have a prologue about their first meeting would have helped. The rest of it was interesting, dramatic. These two people are dysfunctional and made a different kind of story. They both suffered but clearly the heroine was the strong one. I didn't read the first one so I had no frame of reference. And the secondary story was lovely. It really was very sweet in the midst of this carriage wreck. Trains were not yet a thing.

Candace Hern has taken on several interesting topics; first cousin marriage, mental instability, depression, emotional and physical child abuse, you name it and turned them into an outstanding story of triumph. Mary, our heroine, appears to have suffered psychosocial short stature or psychosocial drawfism as her childhood environment was very stressful. She was held prisoner by her deranged father until his death. Jack, a younger son who as younger sons are want to do led a life of debauchery and dissipation, found himself now head of the family and deeply in debt. It is quite obvious a great deal of time and thought went into the perfection of the weaving of this tale. The secondary story took some intricate weaving as well. Cheers to the author for bringing together forty something widowed Olivia and Jack's aging roue of an Uncle Edward. Kudos to the author for not mincing words or glossing over how Jack's rackety lifestyle ruined his looks. This book is about character. His love for Mary strengthened his character. I was so curious to find out how the author would put everything back together after making all their secrets scatter like so many marbles, I couldn't put it down. Very well done.

I absolutely loved this book...until the end. I mean Jack did not even try to piece together what had happened until 6 weeks later. What an idiot. Not to mention that instead of looking for the woman he "loved", he went back to London and screwed every female he could find for 6 weeks. I was so disappointed in him. It was not like they were never together, they were in engaged for crying out loud. I just got so mad reading about his "entertainment" versus caring where his fiance was. Then he shows up and she forgives him, which I can understand because she did not know what he did and she did try very hard not to be found but my gosh. If I would have found out my fiance would have rather slept with a different woman every night for 6 weeks versus finding me and making things right, I would not have been so forgiving. Mary already had emotionally issues, wonder how she felt when she found out about Jack's extracurricular activities. Don't get me wrong, this book is great until that part. The whole time I am reading this and he is complaining about Suzanne, I kept thinking that you are doing the exact same thing to Mary and Jack never noticed it. It was hard for me to read 'An Affair of Honor' where Jack is so nice to Sedge and not think of how I felt when I read the end of this one. I do love Mary though. It is a good read if you can get through wanting to hurt Jack at the end.

Loved it! I truly enjoyed this one but then I have read almost all of this author's books. It was well written and the story line was easy to follow. It had intrigue, betrayal, and romance. I would have liked a different ending but the story was good. The author drew us in and allowed us to feel the emotions of the main characters. And as always the struggles of the main characters with their feelings.

I had recently read a few of Candace Hern's other books and loved the comparably clean content, but still passionate stories. The story line in A Change of Heart attracted me from the first. I liked Mary when I first read A Proper Companion, and was excited to see her with Black Jack in this book. Now, the beginning and middle are full of exciting moments, everything seems to be pulled out just right. Jack and Mary are two individuals that everyone, but each other, know are hurt by past circumstances. I enjoyed everything, I really did, until the end when Jack follows her to Scotland, and automatically, she forgives him. I was shocked. I had expected some groveling, some more torment, but no. The ending was far too rushed, I felt like the author needed to finish the book and did so as quickly as possible. The ending honestly left a bad taste in my mouth, especially since I respected Mary a great deal. But, that's the way it went, hopefully others find the ending more pleasurable than I did. A change of Heart really was enjoyable, the ending was my only qualm.

Second installment: (1) "A Proper Companion" Robert and Emily (2)(This review) "A Change of Heart" Jack and Mary (3) An Affair of Honor" Colin ("Sedge"wick) and Meg H needs money to save his estates meets h who is willing to find him a "proper" bride. A friendship develops and becomes more when H finds out that h is an heiress herself. She is wounded from an abusive father and he is tainted (a rake and libertine) because he was left at the altar by a woman who wanted a title more than love. He admits to the h that he can never "love" her. And seemingly, she accepts that. She accepts his suit and they travel to his home away from London. She spreads laughter and joy to his family who mourns the loss of their husbands, fathers and brothers. Unfortunately, miscommunication and eavesdropping spoils the love both of these characters find. h runs away leaving no explanation and H assumes all women are like his "first" love...at last his friends and family encourage him to find her and the truth. This is my favorite of the 3 installments. Jack is likeable in his tarnishment and Mary is lovely in her ability to overcome her past and to make those around her smile.

As with the other two books in this trilogy; I liked this one as well. This one resembles Jane Austen's "Emma" because of the matchmaking. It's a fun book with interesting characters. I'd still like to have more of an ending since these books seem to just end abruptly. You just get to the good part and it's over. Like I said in my review of the first in this series, it leaves more to the imagination that way I guess.
