Chargement... The Baron's Honourable Daughter: A Novelpar Lynn Morris
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Valeria is the step-daughter of an inattentive man. When he dies suddenly, her mother is unable to cope, and Valeria has to take charge of the affairs of the household, despite being only eighteen. A distant cousin of her step-father arrives to assist in any way he can, and sparks of dislike and attraction fly. I wasn't sure if I would like this story, as I'm rather choosy when it comes to Regency, preferring Marion Chesney's works to those of most other authors. However, after I "got into" this book, I found myself enjoying it. The author gives enough information about the times, the settings, the furniture, etc. but without overdoing it: she appears to understand the period very well but doesn't overwhelm the reader with her knowledge. The characters were fairly well developed, and I found myself appreciating them for their individual characteristics. Definitely worth a read, and possibly a reread. ![]() ![]() aucune critique | ajouter une critique
When her stepfather suddenly dies, Valeria Segrave finds she must take charge of her grieving mother and the vast estate which now belongs to her six-year-old half brother, the new Earl of Maledon. Though capable, Valeria is frustrated to find each day brings a new struggle as she tries to establish her authority with servants, stewards, and solicitors --all men. As a young woman with no blood relation to the earl, they are all too ready to dismiss her. Much to her chagrin, she must rely on the assistance of her stepfather's distant kinsman, Alastair, Lord Hylton. He is handsome and noble, and Valeria senses under the veneer of his gentlemanly behavior that she never measures up to his expectations of a refined lady. In light of that, accepting his help and feeling under a burden of gratitude to him is almost unbearable. Even when Valeria leaves the country estate for the glittering London Season, where she gets into a series of escapades, Lord Hylton is always there to witness, criticize, and correct her behavior. But if Alastair insists on engaging in a battle of wits and wills with the lively Valeria, she'll stop at nothing to prove that he's met his match. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
