From the publisher:
A woman without a prospect. A man without a homeland. Can
love give them a future?
Honore Bainbridge has been courted by two men, one of whom
turned out to be a traitor, the other a murderer. Banished to her family’s
country estate, she will hopefully stay out of trouble.
Under suspicion because of his American upbringing and accusations that he has helped French prisoners escape Meric Poole, Lord Ashmoor, must secure his place in British society. He needs a wife beyond reproach—something the vexingly beautiful Honore certainly is not.
My review:
Under suspicion because of his American upbringing and accusations that he has helped French prisoners escape Meric Poole, Lord Ashmoor, must secure his place in British society. He needs a wife beyond reproach—something the vexingly beautiful Honore certainly is not.
My review:
This third book in the Daughters of Bainbridge House series from
Laurie Alice Eakes begins with peril, something the heroine, Honore, is
apparently used to. As any aspiring authoress is wont to do, she uses her
near-fall and rescue by impossibly handsome, muscular neighbor, Meric, Lord
Ashmoor, as a future scene in her Gothic novel.
This story that rounds up the three Bainbridge girls’
romance in Regency England is written in the style of day; delightfully wordy
with no apologies for lavish description, costume perils, food woes, and daily
nitty-gritty. Readers have to appreciate the style of Jane Austen to catch the
drift of the typical vocabulary of the day.
