by Rhonda Woodward Lady Emma returns to London's Ton six years after her husband's death. At first read, one gets the impression that she's a country wife gone wild, then someone calls her "a true lady from the North" and the puzzle of her life begins to fall into place. This "true lady's" announcement at a Play causes a rivalry between Emma and the beautiful mistress of Lord Monteford. It's here Emma brazenly announces to her Grandmere that she is looking forward to a life of affairs. She certainly has the pick of London Society. But is she ready to lower her standards by having mere affairs, or is she really looking for a man to commit her heart to? Many pursue Emma, but three have her attention. None are aware of her true desires or her loveless marriage. Jack Devruex purposely waltzes back into her life, taking her by surprise. Their social positions are different from that night on the side of a rainy, muddy road years ago. Devruex is now a Baron and she a rich widow. Lord Monteford is rich, too. His passion is beauty; his need is Emma. And then there is the handsome Lord Gentry. He makes her feel young and jittery. Emma analyzes her past, questions the present, and ponders the future in making her decision. Rhonda Woodward gives Regency fans an entertaining, romantic read. Her intimate, romantic view of London is bound to draw a sigh or two from the readers. Her characters are strong and Emma is a heroine ahead of her time, as is her Grandmere. It's a wonderful read about love and trusting one's heart. |
