Review: The Baron's Betrayal

Title: The Baron's Betrayal (Marriage Mart Mayhem #4)

Author: Callie Hutton

Genre: Romance, Regency

Published: January 12, 2015

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

After learning her husband wasn't dead after two years Marion decided to continue her marriage where it had left off. Her husband Tristan had other ideas. He felt since he had been in an explosion and had lost his sight he was no longer enough for her. He believed he was no longer good enough for her.

I enjoyed the characters especially Marion and Tristan's valet Ellis. As soon as she knew her husband was still alive the only thing Marion wanted was to resume her life with her husband. She did everything she could to try and understand what he was going through. I liked Ellis because even though he was Tristan's servant he was still willing to tell Tristan exactly what he was thinking.

I understand Tristan had a real problem, not only physically but also psychologically. I also understand at the time period this book is placed psychology wasn't really a consideration when a person suffered a trauma and even if it was they wouldn't know how to treat the problems. That being said after about a hundred pages I wanted to someone to slap Tristan upside the head and tell him to deal with it. Then when the climax happened the turn around felt abrupt and difficult to believe.

Overall I gave this book 3 stars out of 5.
