Genre: Regency/Romance
Rating: Y
Content: Clean (the villain is a physically abusive uncle)
Sarah M Eden is currently one of my favorite authors. Her books are quick and easy reads with fun and exciting romantic heroes and heroines set mostly in the regency period.
Summary: (from goodreads)
When Crispin, Lord Cavratt, thoroughly and scandalously kisses a serving woman in the garden of a country inn, he assumes the encounter will be of no consequence. But he couldn't be more mistaken--the maid is not only a lady of birth, she's the niece of a very large, exceptionally angry gentlemen, who claims Crispin has compromised his niece beyond redemption. The dismayed young lord has no choice but to marry Miss Catherine Thorndale, who lacks both money and refinement and assumes all men are as vicious as her guardian uncle.
Trapped between an unwanted marriage and a hasty annulment, which would leave his reputation tainted and Catherine's utterly ruined, Crispin begins guiding his wife's transformation from a socially petrified country girl to a lady of society. Their unfolding relationship reveals encouraging surprises for both of them, and privately each of them wonders if theirs may become a true marriage of the heart. But their hopes are dashed when forces conspire to split asunder what fate has granted. As a battle of wits escalates into a life-threatening confrontation, will it be possible for Crispin and Catherine to live happily ever after?
Personal Review:
In this book you will watch a married couple fall in love and see all the dysfunction that comes from poor communication. I will admit the story is rather unnecessarily dramatic at times and yet I loved every moment of it. This book also has the bonus of introducing the Jonquil brothers which go on to be the heroes of three of her other books I also love.
