The Duke's Saving Grace: A Regency Romance (The Returned Lords of Grosvenor Square Book 3) Kindle Edition
Through the war, Deborah found her purpose. With the abbey she was raised in opened up to the wounded, she found no shortage of need for her calming smile, quick mind, and skill at tending to the sick and injured. She couldn’t imagine that with the war winding down, her life wouldn’t just continue in the abbey as she gets ready to take her vows and become a nun.
Before this happens though, someone from the wealthy Duke of Harksbury’s estate calls for someone from the abbey to tend to him. Having returned from the war himself in need of healing, Lord Edward Abernathy needs help, but Deborah will soon find out that his wounds go much deeper than the physical harm he endured. Deborah just might be the only one who can heal him body and soul, but even she might not be enough.

Review
What a moving story. It is a historical romance with the scars of war playing the major role.
I have read many of Ms Pearson's novels and this is just another great one. Deborah is a wonderful character with compassion and grit! She helps the Duke to overcome his injuries and insecurities to find that happiness is not just in appearance. This is a sweet story full of emotion and love. The story flowed well and kept me turning pages.
I loved this story. A"Beauty and the Beast" story . I didn't want this story to end and kept me up reading. I am looking forward to another book by this author.
This was a very emotional story that will pull the reader in immediately. A brave man, destroyed by the horrors of war he felt were insurmountable, has to find trust and hope again.The characters are excellently developed and Deborah's strength and determination are admirable. Grab your copy and immerse yourself in this powerful book. You will definitely feel a reaction, and I think this story will stay with you for some time.
The Duke's Saving Grace was a sweet and tender regency story about two very different people coming together under very trying circumstances.
A great story showing that when you care for someone it isn't their looks but their heart that counts.
Great story of how faith, love and caring can heal a lot.
I recommend this book 100%! Very enjoyable read!

About the author

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!

- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2019I honestly couldn't put this one down. This is one of Ms. Pearson's best.
Deborah was raised in an abbey. While she was waiting to be able to take her orders, the abbey received a request from the sister of the Duke of Harksbury to send someone to help heal his body and soul. He was seriously wounded in the war. He lost some fingers on one hand and one side of his face was badly damaged. But even worse, he was in a very dark place. He needed someone to help him get back to being the good man he had always been. This is where the heart of the story begins.
There are sparks and fireworks and periods of calm. Sometimes there seems to be progress and then a relapse. This is a real page turner. Can't wait to see what happens next!
Do yourself a favor and get comfy in your favorite reading spot with your comfy drink and settle in and read this engaging story!
I volunteered to provide this review.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2021For instance, “Do not shirk from it” should be “Do not shirk it” or “Do not shrink from it.”
“The coach … was dark and cold, the chill wind seeming to come in every nook and cranny.” The coach belongs to a duke, for heaven’s sake – surely he can afford a coach without holes to let the wind in.
“She prayed that the injured soldiers seeking aid would soon come to a stop.” She doesn’t want to soldiers to refrain from seeking aid, she wants to stream (or flood) of soldiers to come to a stop.
She stood, “looking directly into the corner of the room and refusing to lift her gaze.” Lifting one’s gaze means looking into someone’s eyes. I think the author means “refusing to look away.”
“Lord Abernathy,” she said, dropping her head for a moment. Since she has been well raised, she should have dropped a curtsy instead.
Lord Abernathy tells her to leave the house, mispronouncing her name. “ ‘Miss Harland,’ she replied,, quickly, ignoring him.” If she replies to him, she is not ignoring him.
Deb looks at her own reflection, with “curves that she did her very best to hide.” I think in the Regency period the phrase would be “a shape” – “curves” is more from 21st century romances.
She tells Lord Abernathy, “You do not contain your pain or your anger but instead use it to lash out at others, to those who are only trying to help you.” It should read “AT those who are only trying to help you.” As the sentence stands it means “you use it to lash out; you use it to those who are …”
“Shaking her head to herself, Deb drew in a long, shaking breath.” Who else would she be shaking her head at? Or does the author mean she gave a mental head shake?
Deb scolds Lord Abernathy: “You have quite broken Lady Markham. She is attempting to be restored by Mrs. Denton.” Mrs. Denton is attempting to restore her; Lady Markham is not attempting anything.
“Now you are doing it much too brown, Lord Abernathy.” Deb has never before used slang and it sounds very strange.
“You overheard my brother and I talking.” Again, Deb is supposed to be well-educated.
“We are husband and wife, Lord Abernathy.” Anachronism: the wedding ceremony referred to “husband and wife” back then. Again, a 21st century idiom.
I’m going into so much detail because the author has tremendous potential, and I hope she will find a better editor for her next book.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2025Returning from war brings with it many challenges. Some are invisible, while others may leave scars that change a warrior's view of himself. Worse yet are the people who can't see past the surface changes to the real person trapped inside!
Beautifully written and conceived making this and every other title I've read by Ms. Pearson worth every second of joy and drama (or trauma) that the book elicits part of a rich journey!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2023I have enjoyed Rose Pearson's sweet Regency romances very much. I love her characters and the settings.
But with The Duke's Saving Grace, I was disappointed. I liked the story of an orphan raised in a convent, nursing wounded soldiers. I found the Duke, to be ungrateful, selfish, whiny, jerk. Most of the book was repetitive, the same ideas being used over and over, to fill up pages. The sudden metamorphosis into a man who could see beyond the trappings of society a bit unbelievable at first.
It was then I realized that this novel reminded me of the Sound of Music. The musical was one of my all time favorites. I watched the movie version whenever I had a chance. I saw the play both on and off Broadway, and in both amatuer and professional productions. I even read the many books about the Von Trapp Family singers. And then one evening I watched a live on television version of the musical. Before the intermission I was so bored I had to turn it off. I realized my reaction to The Luke's Saving Grace was similar to my reaction to The Sound of Music. I found myself mentally screaming at the characters in Rose Pearson's book, "Oh, come on! Even a blind man can see what is happening here! STOP YOUR WHINING!"
You can depend on Rose Pearson to deliver a happy ending and The Duke's Saving Grace ends happily. But this time, Rose narrative picks up speed, rolling downhill like a boulder and then runs out of steam when it reaches the bottom. From then on Rose rushes to wrap everything up in a neat little bow. It is too drawn out at first and then it is too predictable in the end. Definitely not her best work!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2022This is my favorite book of Rose Pearson's. I enjoy reading her books when I want an especially light and quick read but this book had more depth to it with the main character being raised in a convent. I enjoyed the little sentences about praying. It wasn't preachy or have tons of bible verses quoted which has a tendency to feel to contrived and out to make a point. Of all of Rose's books, I thought these characters had the best romantic tension. Thoroughly enjoyed this read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this Will she save him or will they save each other
The Duke Abernathy has returned from the war with his face disfigured and a damaged hand. He has shut himself off from everyone, locked himself in a dark room allowing no help at all.
His sister contacts the Abbey for help as they have helped other soldiers returning from the war
They send along Deborah an orphan who has no family and wants to take her orders and become a nun. She totally takes charge and will take no nonsense from the Duke who believes his life is over he is blind and disfigured.
Another great book in this series

4.0 out of 5 stars A lovely sweet story of redemption and love
4.5 stars. My favourite of Roses novels so far.
Deborah has grown up inside the Abbey, an orphan cared for by nuns. She has grown up nursing those returned from the wars and has become good at it. Whilst she is desperate to fulfil her dream of becoming a nun the Mother Superior asks her to do one more job before she take her vows. Her job is to care for one Lord Abernathy - a man who doesn’t want help but desperately needs it.
Lord Abernathy was once a handsome gentleman rogue of the ton. He woo’d ladies and danced the night away as only a duke could. However when he comes back from the war he is disfigured and suffering both physically and mentally. For he believes he has lost his good looks, the use of an eye and several fingers but also has become a monster. He rages at the world.
So when Deborah finally meets the angry lord Abernathy, everything comes crashing down. Only Deborahs stubbornness and persistence is able to call his lordship out of his black rages. But draw him out she does.
Then when feelings start getting involved Deborah has to choose between letting go of her life’s dream of being a nun and potentially loving someone who couldn’t love her back. Because how could Abernathy, a duke, feel for an orphan with no societal experience and no social standing.
Deborah is straight shooting, determined and kind. She is everything the the duke has ever needed and more than he ever asked for. She is a great character that shows women don’t have to be weak to be feminine. Who show us that you can be scared and yet determined to make a difference. Who shows us that tears can be healing as well as awakening. She epitomises the analogy that life sometimes throws you a curve ball.
Abernathy is violent, lashes out & intimidates to get his way at the beginning. He is not a MMC that I cared for greatly even though I know that Deborah does. His anger and frustration are understandable and relatable even if I was frustrated at how quickly Deborah fell for him even when he was an ass. He did grow with Deborahs ministrations but he has several returns to his first aggressive impression. But he is finally redeemed.
All in all this Is a clean, sweet, romantic regency novel filled with breakables, determination, dark curtains, bandages, horse riding, friendship, nuns, compassion, warriors, broken soldiers, wedding proposals, calls to service, prayer and books. I enjoyed the book immensely.

Good read

2.0 out of 5 stars Nope
A convent in regency London. A Duke addressed or referred to as Lord Abernathy. Why do people write regencies if they have no clue? There are other annoyances, including some very strange grammar, in this routine story of a wounded soldier wallowing in self pity redeemed through the dedication of a good woman. There are much better books on this theme by authors who care about period detail and respect readers who do too.
