5-STAR REVIEW: WITH ONE LOOK by Cheryl Holt

A Sisters Duet: Book 1
Publication Date: June 19, 2024

CHERYL HOLT dazzles readers once again with her new two-book SISTERS duet! It’s two fun, fast-paced, and dramatic tales of love forevermore…

JACKSON BENNETT is an army veteran who was seriously wounded in India while saving the life of a royal cousin. As his reward, he’s become the new Earl of Thornhill. But it’s an honor he doesn’t want. After barely surviving his final tour of duty, his view of life has been altered. He simply likes to loaf, gamble, and revel in every decadent activity he can find.

THEODORA CRONENWORTH is a dreamer and idealist who thinks the world should be a much fairer place, particularly for women. She works hard to improve women’s lives, and she definitely believes prominent men should behave better.

When Jackson meets Theodora, he’s humored by her energy and pluck, but he’s a confirmed bachelor who doesn’t think he could ever fall in love. With one look, he’s completely smitten, and with Theodora rattling his debauched existence, nothing will ever be the same.

Despite being betrothed to her stepbrother, Theodora Cronenworth is motivated to secure some sort of future for herself. She never counted on meeting Jackson Bennett, the new Earl of Thornhill.

With One Look by Cheryl Holt serves up the first installment of A Sister’s Duet. As a Regency romance, one of the key themes is an effort by some of the society ladies to call out illicit conduct. However, as Theo points out, the effort should include shaming the male scoundrels.

Theo’s lack of trust ties to a scandal involving her mother running off with another man. With her father now deceased, she must rely on her stepmother and stepbrother, Arthur, since there was allegedly no will.

Jackson, who gained the title as a reward for service, loves gambling and has no intention of settling down. However, one look at Theo fascinates him.

Little do the characters realize they are connected by an interesting plot twist that threatens to alter their chance of happiness. The author serves up some dastardly villains who are determined to come out on top.

With One Look provides a compelling introduction to the Cronenworth sisters as Theodora secures her future with love.
