Lady Amelia Plume has many admirers
- it's too bad they're all fortune hunters and fops who can't provide the
exotic adventures she seeks. But the ballrooms of Mayfair have become much more
appealing since the arrival of Major Lucas Winter, an American with a dark past
and dangerous air.
Lucas is brash, arrogant and
scandalously tempting. Every thrilling kiss sparks hotter desire, yet Amelie
suspects that Lucas has a hidden motive in wooing her. And she intends to
discover it, by any means necessary...
Ms. Jeffries is
well-known in the world of romance, but I confess to having never read one of
her novels before, but I decided to finally delve in, and was happily
surprised.
Unlike most
contemporary romance fiction, most historical romance fiction still adheres to
third-person writing, something this reader greatly appreciates. Added into
that, a great plot, along with a believable build between our hero and heroine,
makes this a fantastic first novel of her series, School for Heiresses.
I thoroughly enjoyed
this novel as it has the simple characteristics of a romance novel that make it
so great: a strong hero and heroine that have fleshed out characteristics that
make us fall in love, a great romance, a build, and adventure - something that
sometimes contemporary romance novels forget. I don't always enjoy historical
romance novels, but Ms. Jeffries really hits the nail with this novel,
providing strong characters who you do root for. Overall, a great first start
to the series!
