    More drama than other novel
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2023*

Much more scandal than usual. Less steamy, but still some. I rather enjoyed reading this novel, I recommend this book.

    The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy... is a Joyfully Recommeded Read
  

*by M***X on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2016*

Sir Richard Kenworthy needs to find a wife, and he needs to do it in less than a month.  Though he hopes to find someone he can have a decent life with, Richard knows he can’t be too picky.  Then he spots Iris Smythe-Smith trying to hide behind her cello at her family’s musicale and he knows he’s found the perfect woman to suit his plans.  Now if only he can get her to marry him quickly without asking too many questions…Iris Smythe-Smith is no fool.  She knows Richard is hiding something, but for once she has met a man who not only sees her, he seems to actually like and understand her.  Still, after a lifetime of being overlooked she doesn’t quite trust his motives.  Then Richard forces them into a compromising position, and Iris has no choice but to marry him.  Though she doesn’t understand his actions, Iris truly believes she has a chance at happiness with her new husband.  Then Richard’s true reason for needing a wife comes to light, threatening to break their fragile bond forever…Julia Quinn knows how to pen stories that are fun, charming, and impossible to put down.  The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy isn’t quite Ms. Quinn’s usual fare, but thanks to the author’s talent, the pages of the story do fly by.Iris Smythe-Smith is a gem.  She’s a smart, quiet woman with a quick wit who generally blends into the background.  You want to see her shine and get the attention such a compelling heroine should get.  Simply put, Iris is easy to love.  She’s no saint, but that only makes her an even better heroine and it’s impossible not to root for her to get the love she deserves.  When Richard first courts her, even though you know it’s because he’s using her, the two of them are so delightful together it’s easy to be swept away by their banter.However, some of the shine soon wears off of The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy, and that’s due to the hero.  All the internal flagellation in the world doesn’t make up for the fact that he locks in on Iris from the start in order to use her.  The ends may justify the means in his mind, but it won’t in anyone else’s.  His secret – the reason for him marrying Iris – seems pretty obvious from the start, and if this plotline hadn’t dragged on for so long, I might have liked Richard a lot more.  Ms. Quinn does a good job of showing that he isn’t a bad man, but that doesn’t make him a great hero.  And Iris really deserved a great hero.  I’m afraid I can’t say more about Richard without spoiling the story, so suffice it to say it would have been nice had there been a bit more to him that I could have latched on to so that his negative qualities (lying and manipulation) weren’t so stark.It’s a testament to Ms. Quinn’s skill as a writer that even though I had issues with Richard I was entertained by The Secrets of Sir Richard Kenworthy.  Ms. Quinn makes even the most serious of her books feel light on their feet and I devoured this story in one day.  Even though this is the final book in the Smythe-Smith quartet, I do hope that Ms. Quinn returns to the supporting characters one day, because after the all-too-brief appearances of the comical Winston Bevelstoke and the unicorn-obsessed Frances Pleinsworth, I am desperately hoping these two get books of their own.This book was reviewed by Shayna for Joyfully Reviewed (JR), and was provided by the publisher/author at no cost to JR for the purpose of being reviewed.

    Don't Read Ahead!  The Secret Is Integral to the Story
  

*by S***M on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2015*

"He had chosen her for his wife for the most reprehensible of reasons."THE STORY:  Sir Richard Kenworthy has come to London to find a bride -- the problem is that he has less than a month to accomplish the deed.  He attends the infamous Smythe-Smith musicale believing that it might be fertile grounds to find a wife.  Richard spies a woman he wouldn't have looked twice at before -- Iris Smythe-Smith.  Iris is intelligent and knows that she is not the kind of woman that men lose their heads over.  When Richard begins to seriously court her, Iris cannot help but suspect that Richard's devotion is too good to be true.  Iris is right.OPINION:  I absolutely loved this book.  The format is different than most romance books and some will complain about the lies that Richard tells, but I completely fell victim to the way the book keeps Richard's secrets for so long such that the pain that Richard's deception brings feels real.Iris is such an intelligent, compassionate character.  She thinks herself plain, begins to believe that she might be beautiful if Richard sees her as such and then is completely destroyed when she learns of his deception.  Quinn always has such great characters and Iris is much more than she appears.  By the time the novel is done, the reader has been privileged to see the formidable woman that she is becoming.  I especially like the emphasis on the sister relationship in the book and how Iris's own relationships with her sisters gives her the insight in how to deal with Richard's sisters in a forthright manner.Richard is tormented throughout the book.  He must marry and knows that he will likely have to compromise a woman to do so in the timeframe he needs to accomplish the deed.  His actions are dishonorable and will likely be controversial with readers some of whom will be unable to forgive him for his actions.  He is justifiably tormented in this book by what he decides to do and ultimately, he is not a perfect man but one who can be forgiven by Iris.The relationship between Richard and Iris is woven together slowly.  This is not a book of love at first sight but rather one where the attraction, caring and love is allowed to develop throughout the time that the characters know one another.  By the end of the book, the relationship is solid and satisfying.I do have one small complaint and that is that I wanted more time with these characters in the resolution phase of the book.  Once the plot has been resolved, I wished that there could be more time for the happy ending.  To me, it ends up feeling a little rushed and I missed the chance for these characters to really be happy together.Despite this, this is one of those books that I wanted to immediately return to portions of to enjoy the language and the beautiful and sometimes painful experiences that Iris and Richard encounter.WORTH MENTIONING:  The secrets that Richard is keeping are not revealed for more than half the book.  The book is so much better if the reader allows the secrets to be revealed rather than peeking at the end!FINAL DECISION:  This is a beautifully written book.  The secret is well hidden and once it is revealed, it is also clearly hinted at so that a reader doesn't feel cheated.  The secret is significant and devastating to Iris which gives the story depth.  I loved almost everything about this book.  My one small complaint is that I wish that the resolution was longer.  It felt a bit rushed and I didn't get enough time with Iris and Richard having finally resolving their relationship.CONNECTED BOOKS:  THE SECRETS OF SIR RICHARD KENWORTHY is the fourth book of the Smythe-Smith Quartet.  This book can be read completely independent of the others in the series although there are brief mentions of events and people in the other books.STAR RATING:  I give this book 4.5 stars.
