Blurb
HIS LADY
A Lord is to marry after he graduates from Barrington University, an elite college for the rich. A Lady’s job is to help him fit into a world unaware of his secret society. The Lord does not get to choose who he spends the rest of his life with. But there is always an exception to the rule. And I just so happen to be his.
I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.
I was to wed a Lord of my parents’ choosing. Wealth can’t buy you everything, or I would have had freedom years ago. Instead, my strict parents made sure I lived a dull life in a mansion resembling a prison.
But on my wedding day, I was handed over to another man—an even more ruthless Lord that my family hated.
Tyson Riley Crawford only wanted me for his revenge. I’m nothing more than a debt to be paid. I didn’t have a say in the matter. So when I said my vows before the congregation, I knew I’d break them. Consequences be damned.
Too bad I underestimated my husband and didn’t realize he was more determined to punish me than I was to succeed at escaping. He’ll make me choke on those words I used to bind myself to him.
Yet even he couldn’t have seen what our future held. Ultimately, we’re all just pawns in a game that none of us can win unless you’re willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice … and even that may not be enough.

Character Breakdown
Tyson - MMC - Daddy? Daddy. This man…I just can’t get over this man. I know, this part of the review is no help whatsoever, but he is dark & delicious 🤤
Lake - FMC - She was groomed her whole life to be a perfect Lady. She is a feisty little thing and so perfect for Tyson.
My Thoughts
Let me just start off with - I love every one of Shantel’s books! Tyson has always peaked my interest and I needed to know more about him. Let me tell you….this book did not disappoint.
This Sacrifice was a deliciously suspenseful dark romance that kept me on the edge of my seat. This book followed the story of Tyson and Lake, two fierce individuals who were perfection together. Tyson, was a powerful and unapologetically brutal Lord whose main goal was to get revenge on Lake's family. Lake was passionate, feisty, and unafraid to stand up to Tyson, despite knowing there would be consequences.
The story was filled with so many twists that continuously kept me guessing was would happen next. As the characters progress through their developing relationship and individual struggles, I found myself not being able to put this book down. Of course, the spice was amazing.
1000/10 Recommend!
