~Book
Summary~ Born the third son of an English Duke, Kellson Berkley yearns for the one thing his money can’t buy:
individual acceptance. But with a scandalous past and a father who’s impossible to please, "Kells" vows to
keep his mind on business, and stay away from love. That is, until he returns from abroad to be blindsided by the American
beauty his flat mate has moved into the house. Drawn instantly to her intelligence and wit, it doesn’t take Kells long
to realize why the womanizing Bryant has coerced her into an engagement, or that he would risk everything to make her his
own. With values as deep as her Southern heritage, it’s difficult for Cydney Nash to accept a proposal from
a virtual stranger. Nevertheless, when the opportunity arises to apprentice with one of London’s most prestigious architectural
agencies, she chases her dream and moves into her "fiancé’s" flat, despite her reservations or the
disproval of her protective father. Determined to stand on her own, Cydney's first sign of trouble comes when it’s Bryant’s
friend, Kells, who stirs her heart and distracts her from her true agenda of becoming an architect. Through their
instantaneous friendship grows a passion too deep for either to ignore, and the consequences of fate will leave them struggling
to free themselves from a web of greed and deceit that they will be lucky to escape from alive.

"Armchair Interviews says: The Third Son is a fun fast-paced read that will keep you turning the pages."
"Before I read this book I never knew exactly what a beach read was. Well this is it; pack a lunch and possibly a dinner
because you won't want to leave this book even to eat. I strongly recommend The Third Son to everyone whether romance is something
you usually read or not." ~eBook Reviews Weekly "T.L. Vance has created several alluring and lifelike characters
in this novel, the most memorable being the lover's themselves. The story strongly relies on dialogue, which is very well
done, without the exaggeration sometimes prevalent in the romance genre. This is a very good novel, which will be enjoyed
by both fans of the genre, and to those who wish to gently explore romance fiction." ~Allbooks Reviews WRITER'S
DIGEST JUDGE'S COMMENTARY ON THE THIRD SON "The prelude is excellent and offers the reader a nice introduction
to the story without being intrusive. The dialogue comes across natural to each character, ringing true to their age and personality.
Conversations are quick-paced, without any unnecessary banter. There are just enough tags to keep the reader focused on who's
speaking, without losing track of who's saying what. The author's voice rings true throughout the book, without overtaking
the story. Pacing, for the most part, is good, quickening and slowing at just the right times. Ms. Vance's command of language
is excellent. Sentence structure is correct with fragments being used purposefully and for effect. The conflict in The Third
Son builds to a strong climax, then the reader is offered a satisfying ending, which is sure to make any reader eager to read

"The Third Son is a dense,
character and dialogue driven drama that delves beyond appearances and exposes devastating truths for what they are: half-hidden
agendas. the dialogue is edgy, cutting, frank, teasing and witty by turn. The romance is gripping, and the characterizations
are unusually layered (i.e. they possess very distinct personalities). An author of obvious strengths and talents, Ms. Vance
has won this reviewer over on the first try. Congratulations, then, for a job well-done. What's next on the agenda?" ~Heartstrings
Reviews
"This character driven drama never lets up on the action as a very plausible romance develops. The power of
love to sustain people through the worst adversity is made apparent in how the young lovers survive violence, trauma, and
sheer prejudice on the power of their choice to love." ~Huntress Reviews
"THE THIRD SON is an immensely powerful story
of two people who obviously seem suited for each other, but their families have their own ideas as to who they should marry.
I found the book to be one where I became wrapped up in the story and had no difficulty in conjuring an image of the characters
as they developed. Readers will love it." ~Roundtable Reviews
"Readers will be swept along as Cydney and Kells deepen
their friendship, stumble on a murder plot, and negotiate the minefield of Berkley family issues. Ms. Vance has shown excellent
characterization skills, making the book’s population not only believable, but likeable. You won’t find this book at the local
store, but it is well-worth a trip to Amazon." ~A Romance Review
