Claire Tremaine, the widowed Marchioness of Derebourne, wears leather breeches, trains horses, and helps the damaged ones find their lost spirit. Her husband has just passed away, leaving her with no place to live.
Chastain Warren, the Earl of Kensington, Chase to his friends, isn't pleased when he learns he's inherited the title of Marquess of Derebourne. Having recently lost his beloved wife and child, the last thing he wants is to be caretaker of Hillcrest Abbey. Nor does he want to be attracted to Derebourne's widow, but he is. This woman who wears breeches isn't anything like the ladies he's waltzed with in the ballrooms of London.
It doesn't take Claire long to realize she wants this man, and when he resists, she comes up with a plan she calls The Training of a Marquess and works her horse-whispering magic on Chase.
The Training of a Marquess edition by Sandra Owens Romance eBooks
Chase loved Teresa for years, finally married her even though she only loved him as a friend.....her long dead husband was still her great love. Then, she just gave up on life, died with her first husband's name on her lips and taking Chase's unborn child with her. Chase was crushed on so many levels. He left the house and awakened on a park bench the following morning as a small hand was picking his pocket. That attempt at thievery was the saving of Chase. Harry and Bensey, eight-year-old twins, became his focus. They were delightful little boys.Married at 17, Claire's only experience with men had been with her father and husband, both of whom ignored her. So, she turned to horse breeding and her stables made the estate very profitable. Now, she knew all belonged to the new marquess, Chase, and she was none to happy to see him.
Claire and Chase gradually become friends and she falls in love with him but after his "Teresa experience," he doesn't trust her feelings. Knowing nothing of men, Claire resorted to what she did know.....training skittish, damaged horses. I thought it was charming, watching her apply her training techniques to Chase.
I loved the story until the epilogue. That was the sorriest excuse for an epilogue I've ever read. An insipid paragraph! What was the point? The author did well with the story.....until the epilogue when she blew it.
You've been warned. The story is really good. Just don't expect much from the epilogue.
Enjoy your reading! :)

The Training of a Marquess edition by Sandra Owens Romance eBooks Reviews
I was really pleasantly surprised by how great the this story was. ALL the characters are a delight. I ESPECIALLY LOVED the Hero Chase's Mother. You don't get to meet her till about half way through the book, but she is SO worth the wait. Chase the hero is a dream of man. Thoughtful, compassionate, funny and extremely loving. Claire the heroine is also a joy she has had a tough life but hasn't let it break her spirit. I don't want to say too much but the boys (twins) that are involved in the story are PRECIOUS. I loved the distinct differences in them and their bond. I DID find them a bit TOO formal in their language though. I know it fits the time period...but their children. And I found my self rolling my eyes at all the " Oh, I would love that ever so much." "I would love that about all else." "Jolly Good" etc...That was about the only thing that bothered me about the story.
I highly recommend this story. Its funny, sweet, enduring and grabs your attention RIGHT from the start.
Happy Reading!
This is a pretty straight forward historical romance. Chase lost the love of his life when his wife died, taking his unborn child with her. Claire was married to a much older man who didn't love her when she was 17. When he died, Chase takes over the property because he's Claire's dead husband's distant relative. Claire also lost her two-week old baby. So, we have two heartbroken people. Chase is still recovering from his wife's death and has taken in two orphan twin boys, but it's been a year for him. Claire's loss is much newer.
Now Chase and Claire have discovered each other and we have to see if they'll be able to heal each other. Their "courtship" was fun to read. And, I enjoyed reading about the twins - Harry and Bensy.
What can a reader possibly do but love an author who writes what they want most? More! Was it even possible to write a story as engaging and absorbing as this author's previous work, The Letter? Yes! Ms. Owens has continued her superb, captivating writing style of the Regency Era with A Training of the Marquess.
Chastain Warren, the Earl of Kensington, known as Chase to his friends, who just happens to be the son of the lovely, adorably witty Lady Kensington we got too quick of a glance of in The Letter, has lost his wife and child. Even though Teresa loved him only as a friend, she died with the name of her previous husband Harry, on her lips. In despair, that his long time love and child is lost and thoughts that he will never have more time to try and win her love, Chase spends a sorrowful night on a park bench. He wakes up to the feeling of a little hand of a street urchin trying to pick his pockets. Ironically, his name is Harry. In his loneliness, Chase decides to takes Harry home and make him his ward, only to find out Harry has a delightful double in his twin Bensey. Vowing never to love again and devote all of his time to his two new sons, Chase is appearing to enjoy his life.
Then he discovers he is the one left in line to inherit the title and estate of The Marquess of Derebourne. Upon arriving at his new estate he discovers it contains the widow of the late Marquess, Lady Claire. Claire is in mourning, not as much for her late husband Thomas, but for her precious infant son, Andrew, who died a short time after her husband of fever. With a new Marquess soon to arrive, she fears the loss of her home, but more so her horse breeding and training program, which has been the focus of her life. Hillcrest Manor is known for its prime horses and because Claire is a woman, everyone had assumed her late husband was the superb horsebreeder. Will she be able to convince the new Marquess to let her keep her beloved horses? Forming a harsh, sight unseen, opinion of him based on her past, she is alarmed when she discovers she is immediately drawn to the handsome and charming Chase Warren and his delightful, talented and loving twin boys, Harry and Bensey.
Chase at first is disturbed by the presence of Claire. She is not only physically beautiful with silken white blond hair and clear blue eyes, but she also has inner beauty, strength, and innocence that he is drawn to. Chase fights his attraction, convincing himself that he will be pleased for Claire to have a season in London and find another man to marry. As their attraction grows, Claire decides she yearns to be a part of this loving family. Can she convince Chase that her love is true and that she is not like his former wife, Teresa? Chase had love at first sight once, and it did not turn out well for him. He acknowledges he is attracted to Claire, but works hard at denying anything more than a mere attraction and continues to fight his feelings, denying that he could ever love again, but more, feeling that if he did grow to love Claire and she then found someone else while in London, that he would never be able to survive another heartbreak. Claire has a plan. Unaware of her attractiveness, Claire, having been sheltered by marrying early and not having a season of flirting and courting, knows nothing about how to attract a man. But she does know how to break in a skittish horse. Thus, she devises her plan To Train a Marquess.
So now the fun begins, as this is where this author's talent shines! Mix a handsome Lord, a beautiful Lady, attraction and romance, two precocious boys; one with a love of horses, another with an astounding talent in art, the Lord's delightfully witty mother coming to chaperone with an agenda to match Chase with Claire, Claire's plan of how To Train a Marquess, together with snappy dialogue, and you have a steamy, charming read. Once again, Sandra Owens has written a storyline the reader cannot put down. This author has an astute ability to write emotions in such a way that the reader becomes engaged not only in the story, but with what the characters are feeling. Claire and Chase are enchanting together. Harry and Bensey are a shear delight. It is so much fun to get to know Lady Kensington, but also, as in The Letter, all of the secondary characters from Chase's valet to the vicar's wife Mrs. Fisherman who is constantly nosing around trying to match her daughter Rhonda with Chase, are interesting. Once finished, although thoroughly satisfied, the reader wants more, patiently waiting another release! If you have already had the pleasure of reading To Train a Marquess, then you will understand when I say I love the way Sandra Owens writes a Regency Romance "above all things!"
Seriously, I don't think Ms. Owens can write a bad story. I loved The Training of a Marquess. I loved Chase and Claire. I loved that Claire was more comfortable in breeches and trained horses. Chase? Yet another amazing Sandra Owens Hero. He had my heart when he took in Bensey and Harry from the streets. And his relationship with his mother. Those things made him more attractive to me. I loved Claire's relationship with his boy's. His mother, Lady Anne! OMG! How I adored her. She had me laughing out loud. Probably my favorite regency mother. Of course, I loved Mischief, Amira and Victory. As usual, I cried. I also laughed out loud
Chase loved Teresa for years, finally married her even though she only loved him as a friend.....her long dead husband was still her great love. Then, she just gave up on life, died with her first husband's name on her lips and taking Chase's unborn child with her. Chase was crushed on so many levels. He left the house and awakened on a park bench the following morning as a small hand was picking his pocket. That attempt at thievery was the saving of Chase.

Claire and Chase gradually become friends and she falls in love with him but after his "Teresa experience," he doesn't trust her feelings. Knowing nothing of men, Claire resorted to what she did know.....training skittish, damaged horses. I thought it was charming, watching her apply her training techniques to Chase.
I loved the story until the epilogue. That was the sorriest excuse for an epilogue I've ever read. An insipid paragraph! What was the point? The author did well with the story.....until the epilogue when she blew it.
You've been warned. The story is really good. Just don't expect much from the epilogue.
