![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Until, that is, Lawrence and Maria decide they are in love and want to elope to Gretna Green. Lawrence was lighthearted where Phillip was stuffy, but the three played and spent many hours together together nonetheless, forming a strong bond among them. For twelve years she has nursed her desires, ever since she returned from Paris as a teenager, honing her craft with some of the best chefs in England after having learned from her father, chef for a nobleman who had two sons, Phillip and Lawrence, with whom she grew up. However, despite the fact that I liked Maria quite a bit, and even had a certain affection for her upright, uptight hero, Phillip, I ultimately feel that Secret Desires of A Gentleman was not a very strong entry in the girl-bachelor series.Īs a baker with dreams of opening her own upscale patisserie, Maria, at 29, seems a confirmed girl-bachelor, completely focused on her ambition and her passion for fine pastry. It is hard to resist these girl-bachelors after all, who wouldn’t want to root for these young women who seek real independence and also find the gift of love along the way. I enjoyed your last book, Wicked Ways of A Duke and was looking forward to Maria Martingale’s story.
