This was a good book, I am always amazed at how authors can create conflict from misunderstanding. (

I picked this up at my favorite used book store's dollar sale without really knowing anything about it. It turned out to be an average romance story set in England. There was only surface historical details and scant character development. None of these people could have ever existed in real life. Upon further research I learned that this was published posthumously so it may not be the best representation of the author's work. It seems like her earlier novels were highly regarded. If you like real history than skip over this book. Only non discriminating romance readers would find anything to like here. (

Average historical romance. (

Posthumous release, finished by her family. It should have remained unpublished. (

Book description

blurb: Once, Abrielle was a privileged daughter coveted for her bearing, her breeding, her wit, and her beauty. But when her stepfather is denied his rightful tittle and the wealth that accompanies it, Abrielle finds herself suddenly disgraced. Only one man would still have her: the oafish and grotesque Desmond de Marle. To rescue her once proud family’s honor, Abrielle must sacrifice her virtue to this scoundrel she fears and detests….even as she yearns for another lover. Dashing, handsome, tall and kind, Raven Seabern is quite unlike any man Abrielle has ever encountered. But their love can never be. For Abrielle is betrothed to a monster. And the well being of everyone she cares for demands that she honor her promise. Still, Raven knows he had found the true one and must never let her go - through secrets, deceptions, dishonor, and unimaginable peril will surely be their fate if they follow the dictates of their hearts.
