Child of Her Heart by Mary Blayney - After a broken engagement, governess Caroline Morton fled her beloved Yorkshire for France and has now returned with a ten-year-old orphan in tow. Though she loves the girl with all her heart, Caroline is searching for young Marguerite's relatives. However, the little minx has a secret wish, and is happily playing matchmaker with a handsome gentleman from Caroline's past - a man Caroline once loved and lost.
I enjoyed the beginning, but the idea that a 19th-century surgeon would being aware of PTSD & the interactions between the characters was far too modern for the historical period in which it was set.
Rescuing Captain Rocher by Julia Parks - When French sea capytain Bastien Rocher arrives to navigate the choppy seas of London society for his beloved daughter Marie, his new neighbour, Lady Anne Westhaven, realises that they can help each other. While she can guide Marie through her season, Captain Rocher can provide the discipline her rapscallion son Matthew sorely needs. None could predict the madcap adventure to follow when their two children decide their parents belong together - as husband and wife.
Absolutely ludicrous for a Regency - like it was written by someone who may have read one once, a long time ago - but still an entertaining romp.
A Mother at Heart by Debbie Raleigh - Julius Sutton, the handsome new Lord of Rockworth, is stunned to open his door to a stranger who claims to be his long-lost mother. Certain the elegant Mrs Hanson and her lovely young companion, Miss Cahiry Smith, are charlatans, he vows to expose them. However, when he invites them into his home, he cannot escape his tender yearning for a true family - or deter the passionate pairing of several lonely hearts, including his own.
Full of silly errors like "nip farthering" & "spend a grout", but a nice enough tale.
