Two nobles, destined to marry yet at each other’s throats. Can they reconcile their differences?

When Lord Pendleton loses his brother, his entire world changes. Inheriting the title of Marquess of Leicestershire, he soon finds himself surrounded by nobles and sought-after by their daughters. He becomes determined to make a name for himself – and not be seen as a rogue like his late brother.

Lady Augusta is destined to be married to Lord Leicestershire in a rigid, business-like agreement. Hating her father at first for not letting her choose her own husband, she grows to accept it over time – but she finds herself thrust aside by his newfound status.

With Lord Leicestershire hounded by ladies and faced with distractions at every turn, will he and Lady Augusta be able to make their coming marriage work? Or will the strife between them be too much to overcome?

If you like gripping historical romance with period-perfect detail, then you’ll love this page-turning Regency romance.

Review

From Amazon Reviewers:
The characters are authenticand realistic with depth and qualities that transform into outstandingpersonalities. The scenes are so abundantly detailed to give you a fullunderstanding and realism that balance out fluidly. Remarkable job Rose, thanksfor sharing this little fella with us.

Their courtship is wellwritten and Rose has once again written her characters so that you can relateto them. Absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend.

This was a fun quick readwith a lot of new characters. Hopefully other stories will follow to find outmore about these secondary characters.

I love all of Rose Pearson'sbooks and this is no exception. The plot was unique and the book wellpaced. I loved the characters and their varying personalities! I lovedAugusta's quick wit and devilish behavior.

This story has some twistand turns and a few surprises that will keep you reading until the end. Icouldn't put it down! I recommend reading it, you will enjoy it.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rose has read her way through countless romances over the years, “borrowing” them from her older sisters, and hiding them from her mother (Mom didn't like the sexy book covers!)

She has a special love for Regency romances and when she began writing, the Regency period was a natural place to start. The ton, the wealthy families, the Season, the dilemmas, and yes, the marriages, have always fascinated her. She loves a happy ever after! Now she is happy to bring this passion to her stories and share it with her readers.

On a personal note, Rose lives in North Carolina, is married, and has a terrier that barks too much. She enjoys taking him for walks to tire him out!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exciting Romance and Regency Mystery!
Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2020
Verified Purchase
I really, really, love this author’s writing style. Her prose paints a picture so that the reader can witness the events in the story as if she/he is actually there. The relationship between Lady Augusta and her parents is so perfectly Regency, so stifling, so rigid as to make me a fan of the heroine; and I was cheering her all the while I was reading about the convoluted courtship between her and Stephen Pendleton, the Marques of Leicestershire. And the icing on the cake is the bit of mystery that threatened Lady Augusta’s happy ever after. Once I started this story, I couldn’t flip the pages fast enough to keep up with the hijinks of the characters and find out how it would all sort out. I’m so glad I was introduced to this author just last year. Now I want to read everything she’s written.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet escape into Regency England!
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2023

I have enjoyed many of Rose Pearson's other historical romances. A Broken Betrothal, book 1 in her Convenient Arrangements series, is a great start for the series.

As was usual in her past stories, Ms Pearson, offers a realistic look at England in the early days of history where the struggles between the hierarchy of the different classes was known but rarely spoken about in polite society. When marriages and relationships were sometimes motivated by the scramble to achieve either societal, political or monetary gain! Love matches was something all women longed for but never really expected to get. It is a tale as old as time, one that Rose Pearson deals with much talent!

A Broken Betrothal is an easy to read, entertaining book that captured my attention from page 1. I devoured this book, sitting in rocking chair, ignoring my dogs' multiple jumps and yipes for attention as well as the noise from husband's attempts at home repair. Engrossed in the trouble between Stephen and Augusta, I completely ignore all other possible distractions until I read the last page. It is only now as my Kindle battery dies and I write this review, that I am able to see clearly the mess my husband made fixing a "leak?", The dishes in my sink and the hunger in my stomach. I wonder just how long have I been sitting her.

A Broken Betrothal is worth losing a half a day to, and even better is available free of charge with a Kindle Unlimited subscription!

3.0 out of 5 stars 3 1/2 STARS, REGENCY ERA , LORD Stephen
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2020
Verified Purchase
Lord L, Stephen moved up a notch in the world after he met his Betroth; so as he got accustomed to his new level, his perks & unfortunately everything he was now in charge of including people's lives, he let the Betrothal be silent in all manner of ways. Not wanting her Father's choice of a husband Lady Agusta was extremely rude & hostile the one time they had met & was now getting angry again because the agreement had not been signed & returned. These two people deserve each other as they go back & forth then come together because someone is really trying to ruin Stephen's good name in the Ton. I gave it 31/2 STARS because I felt both characters needed to grow up. Lord L, Stephen is not the self assured Hero that usually would not care about the Ton or would hire some Runners to find out who was behind the acts. They seemed to act on the level of middle school kids. However, the storyline is a great idea & is a nice read if you don't mind wading through all of the middle school to high school drama that accurs. Recommend

When Lady Augusta discovers that her father has entered into an engagement contract without her knowledge, she is determined that she is going to do something about it. Her betrothed, Lord Pendleton, soon becomes the Marquess of Leicestershire when his rake of a brother is killed in a duel.

Leicestershire finds suddenly finds himself hounded by ladies and being sought after by the ton due to his new title. But, someone is determined to bring him down by smearing his reputation socially.

At first, I didn't like the main characters. They both did horrible things to each other in an effort to get out of their arrangement. However, when the smear campaign continues, she finds herself working to keep Leicestershire's reputation intact.

This book is a clean Regency romance, full of all that you would expect in this genre. The author always writes a good story, full of emotion and love.

I could understand her attitude with the H at first, because of her father, but because I liked him, I didn't like the way she treated him. Then when he gave her the same treatment I was glad that she learned a lesson. As she grew to know him and what a decent man he was things started to change for both of them. They came together against an enemy that was trying to ruin his reputation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Regency romance with a twist.
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2020
Verified Purchase
Well-written and presented Regency romance that revolved around a single issue: a marriage brokered by the bride's father. Lady Augusta was not thrilled by this before the groom was called away to bury his rogue brother following a duel and inheriting the Marquess title which changed his outlook on the proposed marriage. Novel was true to the era and maintained my attention involving much character development, however, despite the marquess being a victim of being undermined by the ton, didn't evolve into a riveting mystery. Somewhat predictable ending but will please those who enjoy novels surrounding this time in history.

This is the kind of romance I love to read. It is a book I wouldn’t be afraid for my preteen granddaughter to find and pick up to read. The language is clean and I don’t need steamy love scenes. I like sweet romances, especially historical fiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Read

Another engaging book by Rose Pearson, well written and a perfect start to a new series.
Lady Augusta put in a difficult position by her father in that an arranged marriage was being forced upon her, the reason for which though was never made clear, I did think that perhaps a lack of family funds was the reason but it was never explained. Lady Augusta was not best pleased and on meeting her betrothed, Lord Pendleton,( soon to be Lord Leicstershire, following his brothers death) she was not very pleasant to him, and so on meeting again 6 months later after Lord Leicstershire returned to London following his mourning period for his brother. Their dislike for one another continued, Lord Leicstershire believing that the ton had taken him to their hearts and he had been accepted as one of them, his new found wealth and power must have gone to his head or he was just stupid because he never suspected and when a plot was formed to bring about his down fall it was Lady Augusta who saved him.
Lady Augusta and Lord Leicsterhire were kept on the straight and narrow by their friends Lady Mary and Lord Dryden, who fell into a relationship easily and quietly without fuss unlike their friends.
All in All a lovely story one that I would thoroughly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars A sweet period romance
Reviewed in Canada on November 29, 2020
Verified Purchase
This well written romance with a touch of mystery does a good job of capturing both the conversational style and situations that could arise in the Regency time. How would you act if presented with a betrothal and an intended who you had never met? Lady Augusta is less than impressed; a believable response. Most of the story line ensues from how her intended Stephen, currently a younger brother of a Marquis, perceives her behaviour. I thought that the author did a wonderful job of creating the characters but, personally, I found Stephen's personality hard to appreciate. Ultimately, it is Augusta's actions that help the reader to begin to like Stephen. I liked the addition of the mystery but would have enjoyed a little more "romance" in the book.
