Charlotte’s Control (The Control Series) by Maggie Sims – Review by Brandy Rymer

Charlotte’s Control by Maggie Sims
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Maggie Sims wrote an amazing historical romance with Charlotte’s Control, the first book in The Control Series. Beware this book does contain adult content, and includes relations that touch base on dominance, and would not be appropriate for a younger audience. That being said, I love reading historical romance books and was very pleased with the atmosphere that the author created through her magnificent use of time-period clothing as well as the subject matter throughout the book. What a sad time it must have been when women were looked upon to be suited more for childbearing and raising children instead of for their intelligence and business sense. Our heroine Charlotte is an extremely intelligent widow, especially when it comes to making investment decisions, which has allowed her to build up her expansive amount of money, as well as help other women to make investments to build up their incomes. William, our lead character is a soon-to-be Earl of Harrington and is expected to take over the family name and title and is expected to marry a well-off woman who may be able to bear an heir. He falls in love with Charlotte from the moment he lays eyes on her, to his mother’s disappointment, because as far as Charlotte knows she is barren and older than William, both of which make her an unsuitable wife. Will William be able to convince his mother, as well as Charlotte that they are meant to be together, or will the rules of society and the wishes of his family prevent them from finding their happily ever after?
