285 books67 followersLINDA SOLE also writes under the names of Anne Herries, Emma Quincey, Lynn Granville and one as Juliana Linden.
Linda was born in Swindon. Her family moved to Ely in Cambridgeshire when she was nine, and Linda attended the local school but left at fifteen to work as a hairdresser in her father's business. She was married at eighteen and ran her own hairdressing business for some years before moving to Cambridge, although Linda has now moved to somewhere a bit quieter in Cambridgeshire. She started writing in 1976, combining this with helping her husband to run his antique shop.
Writing as Anne Herries, Linda won the 2004 RNA Romance Award and the Betty Neels Trophy. She lives in Cambridgeshire. After many happy years of taking their holidays in Spain she and her husband, now have a second home in Norfolk. Being only a short drive, they can visit for a few days at a time, which suits their busy lifestyle these days. They are only just across the road from the sea, and can see it from their windows. At home and at the sea they enjoy watching the wildlife and have many visitors to their gardens, particularly squirrels. Anne loves watching their antics and spoils both them and her birds shamelessly. She also loves to see the flocks of geese and other birds flying in over the sea during the autumn, to winter in the milder climes of this country. Anne loves to write about the beauty of nature and sometimes puts a little into her books, though they are mostly about love and romance. She writes for her own enjoyment and to give pleasure to her readers.

Lord Vincent Carlton informs his mother that he intends to marry Cassandra Thornton and asks her to invite Cassie for a visit to get to know her before proposing. He and 4 friends had promised Jack, Cassie's brother, that one of them would marry her if anything happened to him. When Jack is shot in France, Vincent gets the short straw. However, when they meet and spend time together they both are happy to wed. Of course, the straw vote and Jack's disappearance on the field are issues that resurface. This followed a lot of the typical tropes for this genre and was OK but not out of the ordinary.

I was taken in by this cover and the title, hoping the characters might be interesting. Nothing terribly wrong with the book, but I only made it halfway through because it was too fluffy for my tastes. (It's a Harlequin Romance after all, which I did not know when I downloaded it from my library.)

A Matter of Honour by Anne Herries
I absolutely loved this story. Cassie and Vinnie easily stole my heart, then they stole each others. Just the right mix of romance and mystery gives this one a recipe for success.

A perfect regency romance. The characters and setting are vivid and the plot is standard enough but enjoyable.

She's stupid and annoying (at the point I wanted her dead, yes I know, I'm a bit extreme), he's an a$$hole and does this book have a purpose? I think not.
