Editorial Review
In
his quiet rural retreat Viscount Beaumont believes London is the right place
for his daughter’s coming out into society. He knows he must shake himself from
his dormant existence of mourning his late wife. Good sense as he sees it soon prevails.
He intends to foist the hunt for a suitor to Henrietta’s aunt, her French
mother’s sister. Gabrielle is a woman of cultured taste and eye for detail. Therefore,
reluctant in duty as a father in escort to a headstrong young lady, London suddenly
holds appeal he hadn’t foreseen. A French born actress catches his eye, and Henrietta
has an admirer. Could this be love or is he vulnerable to Verity’s prettiness? All
is going swell for Henrietta, with exception of a caveat. Fate is inescapable
as deceitful webs spin around Henrietta and her father. Spies are everywhere,
and revolutionary Paris soon beckons. Father, daughter, and Verity all risk the
alien atmosphere of a despoiled France for very different reasons. With sense
of adventure and derring-do Beaumont and Verity Garnier risk their lives for
love and honour, while Henrietta puzzles through a gypsy’s foretelling. Thankfully
Henrietta’s heart solves her predicament, and her father fulfils Verity’s dreams
with steel determination to never let her out of his sight again. The author
weaves suspense, suspicions, and intrigue throughout with historical merit. The
Georgian Award is hereby granted to Maggi
Andersen for Hostage to Love.
Reviews: This is an adventure not to be missed. The excitement mounts as danger
appears around every corner. The devastation of the French Revolution is
a backdrop to the well-executed plot. Love is in the air for three
couples, but will they survive to realize their dreams?

“Maggi
Andersen does it again with a riveting story of spies and counter
spies, villainous men of power, and Jacobins, and all set during the
French Revolution (1792).”
