"The Baron’s Betrayal" [Marriage Mart Mayhem Series, Book 4] by Callie Hutton
Authors' Book Description : Lady Marion Tunstall has just now re-entered society after two years of mourning her beloved husband who was killed in an explosion while serving in the Royal Navy.
Tristan, Lord Tunstall has purposely kept himself hidden from Marion. It had been his desire to allow her to continue to think he was dead so she could marry again and not be burdened with a damaged husband.
What happens when a determined woman faces the ultimate rejection from the only man she has ever loved?
My Book Review : 4 out of 5 stars!! After finding out that he’s blind Tristan decides to make everyone—including Marion, his wife—believe that he is dead because he feels like Marion would be better off without him. Now two years later, Tristan and Marion unexpectedly meet again and his scheme is out of the bag but is Marion ready to give him up for good now that he’s back in her life? Or will Marion be able to change his mind?
I liked this novel because of Marion and her determination to love her husband while bringing back their relationship to what it once was even if that meant chasing him throughout England. Throughout this novel, even though I enjoyed Tristan as a character by himself, Tristan frustrated me with his constant dismissal of his feelings for Marion despite how she felt for him even with his blindness. Tristan’s motivation had more to do with his fear of his new circumstances than anything else did, also how he really didn’t listen to Marion when she told him what she wanted for their relationship. Overall, I enjoyed it but I wish the ending, because of how long Tristan dragged out his refusal, didn’t feel so abrupt when he had his change of heart.
Nevertheless, I definitely would recommend this novel to those who like historical romances!

My Previous Interview(s) with this Author : January 2015
Book Teaser(s) :
“Did Manchester not inform you of our meeting earlier today?”
“If you mean did he tell me you were foolish enough to suggest a divorce, then, yes. He did tell me that, but I have no intention of allowing you to divorce me. And furthermore, you cannot. Unless you wish to accuse me of having an affair.”
Tristan sucked in a breath. “Of course I would not divorce you on those grounds. You would never recover from the scandal.”
“Then a divorce is not possible.”
“There must be a way. You need a full life, Marion. Someone who can care for you.”
“You mean, marry again?”
“Precisely.”
“No.”
“No, what?”
“No. I will not accept someone else. I am quite capable of caring for myself.”
“Don’t be ridiculous.” ~ within Chapter 3

“I cannot imagine why you would think beating a cotton bag full of finely shredded wood clippings would take the place of a woman in your bed.”
“You are impertinent,” Tristan gasped. “Pack your bags and be gone in the morning.” ~ within Chapter 15
