by Gloria Gay
GENRE – Regency Historical Romance Novella, ebook only
PUBLICATION DATE –April 25, 2014
PUBLISHER – BORROUGHS PUBLISHING GROUP
Beautiful Jenny Longtree was expected to
do her duty and accept the marriage proposal of a man she abhorred, Calvin
Hazeldeck, an old and rich mortician whose offer of a marriage settlement would
save her family from destitution brought about by her father’s bad shipping
investments.
Then unexpectedly, Jenny’s dear uncle,
Sir Roger Addington, who had been informed of the family’s dilemma, offered his
favorite niece a London social season as a last chance to find a husband on her
own.
But in the whirl of the London season,
Jenny realizes that without a dowry her chances of obtaining a marriage
proposal are practically non-existent.
Then on the last ball of Almack’s, and
when Jenny feels that time is slipping away, Lady Jersey, the head patroness of
Almack’s, introduces her to Sebastian Billington, Lord Corville. As they dance
the waltz, Jenny realizes she has fallen in love at first sight with a man she
is likely never to see again.
And during the seductive dance with Lord
Corville, something happens that has Jenny lying on the floor at Lord
Corville’s feet, having momentarily passed out. When she comes to, she finds a
sea of faces staring down at her and scandal exploding all around her.
MY REVIEW
Sweet Novella
3.5 stars
Barbara Cartland would have been so proud! For the youngsters who don’t know who she is… shame on you! I, on the other hand I’m not ashamed to admit that I’ve read quite a few of her stories in my teen years.
It was a very sweet story, almost like a fairy tale of love at first sight and a little second base. As always said women during the Regency era couldn’t catch a break only a husband. Nice afternoon entertaining read.
