THE RELUCTANT MARQUESS (Romance)
1 chapters
—
updated Jul 02, 2011 06:25pm
Description:
A country-bred girl, Charity Barlow always intended to marry
for love like her parents. She suddenly finds herself married to
a marquess, her new husband an aloof stranger determined to
keep his thoughts and feelings to himself. She and Lord Robert
have been forced by circumstances to marry, and she feels sure
she is not the woman he would have chosen given a choice.
He makes it plain that marriage is merely for the procreation
of an heir, and once that is achieved, he intends to continue in
London living the life he enjoyed before he met her. Charity
may then retire to the country. While Lord Robert pursues his
own interests, Charity is left to wander the echoing corridors
of St. Malin House, when she isn’t thrown into the midst of
the mocking and clever Haute Ton. She’s not at all sure she
likes them, as they live by their own rules, which seem rather
shocking. She’s not at all sure she likes her new husband either,
except for his blue, blue eyes, the panther-like way he walks,
and the hot expression in his eyes when he looks at her, which
sends her pulses racing. He is a rake and does not deserve
her love, but neither does she wish to live alone. Lord Robert
appears quite willing to do his duty, but Charity demands love
and affection, nothing less will do. Will he ever love her?

"A good read. Cornick has a lovely style and her subject matter in this story is well researched. Her characters are charismatic with just enough vulnerability to make them intriguing.

Maggi Andersen's Murder in Devon is a riveting suspense story, which I thoroughly enjoyed, despite it not being a genre I usually read.
The plot is fast-paced with lots of twists and turns. The characters are real and well-developed. The descriptions... " Read more of this review » |

Yes thanks, I am having a lazy weekend reading and watching old movies. Under a Silent Moon isn't so much a romance as a murder mystery. If you like mysteries set in the Regency period I would also recommend C S Harris, What Angels Fear and When Gods die. I'm reading Eloisa James at the moment, I love her Georgian romances.Cheers,
Maggi
Hi from Alaska,How did you like Under a Silent Moon? It sounds wonderful! I will add it to my TBR. I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
NorthernLightsGirl
Hi from Australia, I see you enjoy reading historical romances, so do I. I'm reading a great one right now, Under a Silent Moon, a Regency intrigue by Tracy Grant. As a writer myself I'm really enjoying the quality of the writing and research.
Cheers,
Maggi
