This is an entertaining Regency romance charting the rocky progress of Helen and Edward’s burgeoning love affair. What can have happened in Helen’s past that she is so wary of, and how can the marriage be proved? Who is working against Helen and why? I confess to always enjoying these relaxing and amiable romances, and reading about what it must have been like to live in one of the great country houses now open to the public. It is a quick read, engrossing and enjoyable and I look forward to more in the same vein by this author.
