REGENCY:
It is Lady Mercy’s first season and she is interested in marrying for
love, just like all of her sisters. She is quite a unique individual
because she also wants to be independent after she is married. She wants
to create beauty aids such as facial creams and write a book about her
beauty advice. She meets Lord Northcliffe who seems to disparage the
idea of a woman writing and experimenting. On top of that, Northcliffe
is a known rake. After he rescues Mercy from a terrifying situation at
Vauxhall, Northcliffe is forced to ask for her hand. Will it be possible
to overcome their difference and find love?
There are several plot twists in this charming story, which makes it a
real page-turner. The characters are plentiful and fresh and
Northcliffe is quite noble. The scenery and muddy roads are described in
exquisite detail and one feels as though they are there, riding on
those roads on a slightly wild steed. The sisterly love is portrayed so
beautifully that it almost oozes out of the book. There are a few
editing errors that need to be cleaned up. Ms. Andersen writes an
adventurous regency book that one wishes to keep reading, even when the
story is done. This novel is part of a series but is a fantastic
standalone work.
