Literary Nymphs Reviews Only

"From the first sentence...I was tugged into this dazzlingly real look into the life of Regency folks. I haven't read a book with such in-depth emotional, heart-wrenching and utterly sensual scenes, in a long time. "

I am only just going to begin reading this book. I love the premise.

I loved this book. I sat down to read it at about 4pm and didn't stop until I finished it, sometime before 9pm.

"They say love is blind, but Lady Fortuna Morley doesn't believe it. Sightless since birth, she can think of only one reason a gentleman would wed her-for the dowry and three thousand pounds a year her father will provide.

Very nice book. The characters were interesting and intriguing. I loved the not-so-run-of-the-mill heroine. The author obviously has some experiences with blind people because I literally felt her descriptions quite well, although, I felt sometimes that they went on too long - almost as if she expected that the book would be read to a blind person who needed the elaborate and extensive descriptions.

Overall, however, I enjoyed this book and would recommend it to a person who loves More...

This book is a wonderful story with a heroine who is capable, admirable and loveable. Joanna doesn't force the reader to feel sorry for Fortuna, no more than Fortuna doesn't feel sorry for herself.

Fortuna doesn't one time lament that she can't see Charles. She feels him intensely, knows him thoroughly and loves him as all women love their heroes.

Everyone who loves historical romance should read this book. It is not to be missed.

I bought this book awhile ago, and had I known how good it would be, I would've read it a lot sooner! It was beautifully written, and held my interest throughout the story. To me, the ending can make or break the story- and this one definitely made it! I loved the ending, as it didn't leave me 'wondering' at the end. It was very thorough. I look forward to more from this author!
