More About the Author
Grace Burrowes started writing as an antidote to empty nest and soon found it an antidote to life in general. She is the sixth out of seven children, raised in the rural surrounds of central Pennsylvania. Early in life she spent a lot of time reading romance novels and practicing the piano. Her first career was as a technical writer and editor in the Washington, DC, area, a busy job that nonetheless left enough time to read a lot of romance novels.
It also left enough time to grab a law degree through an evening program, produce Beloved Offspring (only one, but she is a lion), and eventually move to the lovely Maryland countryside.
While reading yet still more romance novels, Grace opened her own law practice, acquired a master's degree in Conflict Transformation (she had a teenage daughter by then) and started thinking about writing.... romance novels. This aim was realized when Beloved Offspring struck out into the Big World a few years ago. ("Mom, why doesn't anybody tell you being a grown-up is hard?")
Grace eventually got up the courage to start pitching her manuscripts to agents and editors. The query letter that resulted in "the call" started out: "I am the buffoon in the bar at the RWA retreat who could not keep her heroines straight, could not look you in the eye, and could not stop blushing--and if that doesn't narrow down the possibilities, your job is even harder than I thought." (The dear lady bought the book anyway.)

In all honesty, I don't own a bonnet, but I bet you know what I mean. In the newest installment of the Lost Lords series, Grace Burrowes tells a story of two mature people falling in love after having suffered the loss of their spouses. Neither had been happy in their marriages, and their finding temporary solace with each other gradually evolved into a deeper attachment.
The hero, Trenton Lindsey, Viscount Amherst, the heir to the Wilton Earldom, was forced to deal with a deranged father, whose heinous actions - as it turned out - were barely touched upon in Nicholas: Lord of Secrets (The Lonely Lords), while mourning the passing of his wife. What made him such a compelling character was that he was human: a while decent and honorable, he wasn't infallible and made mistakes, though was more than deserving of a break and love of a good woman.
And the heroine, Elegy Hampton, was that woman. She was not only decent, practical, and steady, but also smart, attractive, and in need of comforting. In short, she was just what Trenton needed to find his way out of the deep dark hole, in which his father and late wife had dropped him. And in helping the heroine come to terms with her past, he made peace with his.
With Grace Burrowes' distinctively vivid prose and subtle humor, this touching love story is yet another keeper on my virtual bookshelf.

Ever since I read Darius, I've wanted to read his older brother Trenton's story, but the author made me wait. The wait was well, well worth it. Trenton, Lord of Loss is, in my opinion, a perfect romance. Trenton Lindsey, Viscount Amherst is not one of your swaggering heroes, and when he meets Elegy Hampton, his protective instinct, always apparent with his brother. sister and children emerges in full force. What I love about these characters that Ms. Burrowes created is the deep sense of familial love they have for one another, especially Darius and Trent, and how they aren't afraid to show it The love that blooms between Trenton and Ellie is sweet, romantic and totally believable. I didn't think I could love another book like ti did Darius, but I do. Trenton has mmore than equaled his younger brother, but I have enough book love to go around.

When Ellie's neighbor Trenton Lindsey, Lord Amherst, comes to visit they talk about grieving and flowers and he invites her to give him advice on his flower gardens. So begins their friendship, with Ellie returning the visit to his estate and enjoying the distraction of working in his gardens while spending more and more time with Trent.
Both being widowed, Ellie and Trent have an innate sense of each others' thoughts and what to say to provide comfort. The sad tales of their marriages unfold throughout the book and we feel more and more empathy for them both and root for them to find the happiness they deserve as loving, kind and giving people. While Ellie and Trent find comfort in their friendship and eventually in bed together, someone is trying to kill Trent. Burrowes provides us with several villainous characters to suspect, so the culprit is predictable but not obvious and gives the reader some thoughts to chew on.
It's fun to read about familiar characters and a few new ones. Heathgate (Gareth) and Benjamin Hazlit (Ethan's brother-in-law) are instrumental in solving the mystery of the attempts on Trent's life. Darius is Trent's brother, so he's a frequent visitor and Nicholas pays a visit as well since his wife Leah is Trent and Darius' sister. There's also an Irish earl in hiding who we get to meet and he's a very interesting character! I believe the timing of this story coincides with Darius' book as he heads back to London for a Christening near the end.
I really enjoyed this story. There's a bit of angst and squirming with the villainous characters and attempts on Trent's life, but it's more who-done-it mystery rather than stressful events. And the romance between Ellie and Trent is front and center.Read more ›

Ellie and Trent discover love is possible after less than happy marriages that have left them both widowed. Only first they must overcome the person trying to kill Trent and then their own fears of being vulnerable again.
While this is the tenth book in the Lonely Lords series it’s not required to read any of the others as it stands well on its own.

I liked then other lonely lords books, but this one moved along slowly. I wish she could have come up with a new Cuts word....perishing Halifax was way over used. And I don't understand why our lonely Lord Trenton was wallowing in guilt and misery over his deceased wife when it's quickly proven they had a terrible marriage and he didn't love her.Makes no sense.

Actually, I feel that I do, thanks to the evocative prose of Ms. Burrowes.
Neighbors, Trenton and Elegy find they are both struggling to find their emotional footing following the deaths of their respective spouses. That both marriages had been anything but pleasant only adds an inevitable layer of guilt to the grief. Trent is a good, decent man harried by the past and by a maniacal father. Ellie is an equally good, decent woman. She is also a woman of character, just who Trent needs. Their sweet love story unfolds like a gentle nocturne.
There is some mystery interwoven along with a few doses of angst, and watching the love blossom between Trenton and Elegy was sometimes humorous, always pleasing.
Ms. Burrowes does need an editor, desperately. "Clueless"? "Grounded" (as in punished)?? Cato hasn't been "invested"???His ancestor did that, for pity's sake! He just inherits. "Belted Earl"???? Again, I refer you to ancestor. And please just refer to food and drink in general terms. Almost every time specifics come into play, they're WRONG. These may seem trivial and they would be if there were just a single anachronism. But there are several and they startled me out of the story every time. Lost my train of thought and had to re-read to pick up the thread. This is supposed to be a PERIOD novel! I love Ms. Burrowes' stories and her characters, but why must I be punished for it?
5 Stars for a GREAT STORY
-1 Star for ATROCIOUS EDITING (deserved -5 stars)
