A breeches-wearing heroine. A brooding duke. A meddling family with matchmaking plans. This Regency love story has all the charm.
Grace's Saving by Maeve Greyson is Book 3 in the Duke of Broadmere series, but it stands strong on its own. I didn’t know what I was missing until I met Grace—and now I can’t wait to meet the rest of her bold, brilliant family.

Book Description
He’s rigid. She’s reckless. Together, they’re utterly forbidden. Lady Grace Broadmere doesn’t care for balls, titles, or the expectations of Society. She prefers riding across the countryside in her scandalous buckskin breeches, training hounds, and living life on her own fearless terms. Her brother may be the Duke of Broadmere, but she has no intention of marrying just to complete his inheritance scheme. Romulus “Wolfe” Craigstun, Duke of Wolfebourne, is shackled by duty. Between an unbearable betrothal and raising two mischievous seven-year-old twins, he barely has time to breathe, let alone enjoy life. That is, until his siblings run away and find an unexpected rescuer in Lady Grace. Their first meeting is a disaster. Their second? Even worse. But as sparks fly and attraction simmers beneath their battles of will, Grace and Wolfe begin to question everything they thought they wanted. He’s propriety. She’s chaos. But together, they might just find the one thing neither love.
My Review
A Regency romance with heart, hounds, and honest conversation—this book completely won me over from page one.
It’s not often I pick up a third book in a series before reading the first, but Grace’s Saving by Maeve Greyson completely swept me away—despite jumping in mid-series. I was immediately drawn to Grace, the unconventional Abarough sister who prefers breeches to ballgowns and finds more comfort among her beloved pack of hounds than navigating the stuffy expectations of the ton.
While I’ve read Maeve Greyson’s work before—and even featured her during past blog tours—Grace’s Saving still managed to feel like a fresh and unexpected delight. I hadn’t yet read the first two books in the Abarough Sisters series, but jumping into Book 3 never felt disorienting. That’s a testament to Greyson’s skill in weaving standalone-worthy stories within a larger arc.
Her writing has a warm, steady rhythm, and though multiple characters and past relationships are referenced, I never once felt lost. The family dynamics are especially well done—Grace’s brother, Chance, is a Duke seemingly eager to see all seven of his sisters married off so he can finally claim his full inheritance. This premise could’ve leaned into cliché, but instead, it lays the groundwork for a story filled with heartfelt choices and authentic connection.
What stood out most? The refreshing way characters communicated. Emotions weren’t buried under layers of misdirection. Misunderstandings didn’t fester endlessly. Instead, Grace and Wolfe spoke plainly and often, giving the romance real weight and momentum without unnecessary detours. I can't emphasize how much I appreciated that.
Wolfe, the hero, is betrothed to another woman out of obligation—but it’s Grace who captures his soul. Their romance unfolds with honesty, tension, and a lot of heart. I highlighted several beautiful quotes throughout, and by the end, I was fully invested in their future. Of course, I immediately went and purchased the previous two books in the series—and I look forward to seeing how Fortuity and Blessing got their stories.
Favorite Quotes
“My heart is mine to give and to guard.” “I will guard it, my lady,” Wolfe said softly. “I swear it.”
“Because you, my lady, are a priceless treasure I cannot live without.”
“You, my dear one, are my heart mate, the other half of my soul.”
Character Spotlight
Grace Abarough: The quietly brave fourth daughter of a duke, Grace prefers breeches to ballgowns and finds comfort in her hounds more than high society. Beneath her independence lies a deeply tender heart, and watching her open herself to love was truly rewarding.
Wolfe Wolfebourne: Noble in title and spirit, Wolfe is a man torn between duty and desire. His initial sense of responsibility binds him to a promise, but it’s his honest yearning for something real—and his respect for Grace—that defines him as a hero.
Sissy Abarough: The sharp, insightful twin sister of Connor and younger sibling to Grace. Sissy is wiser than her years, often keeping her headstrong brother Chance in check with a knowing glance or perfectly timed remark. Her presence adds heart and clarity to tense family moments.
Connor: The first to express sincere interest in Grace, Connor is earnest, kind, and entirely smitten. His role in the story brings early tension and emotional weight to Grace’s journey, helping her realize what she truly needs from love.
