With only a few months left to serve before she became a free woman, Charlotte Oliver accepted Marcus Wainwright’s marriage proposal – he had chosen her to be his servant when she had arrived from England aboard the convict ship Atwich in Van Dieman’s Land and she had been caring for him since. He had been kind to her and she believed that even though she had no romantic feelings for him, she would be happy in Sydney in their new life.

Téa Cooper is one of few authors writing historical romances set in Australia, and it’s such a pity there aren’t more of them! I really enjoyed this book. It deals with convicts and the dangers of life on the sea, and the founding of colonial Australia (well, a few decades in!).
There’s so much about the lower classes of the nineteenth century that is fascinating – and lends itself to adventurous historical romances. Of course it doesn’t exactly fit the fairy tale the big publishers are looking t ...more

Forgotten Fragrance takes you back to a time and place where everlasting love was possible even through adversity. Charlotte and Jamie were separated and transported when both were accused of her sister's murder.
Charlotte's sentence was almost complete and her benefactor, who'd kept her safe, wanted to marry her and start over in Sydney where there would be no stigma of her convict status. They booked as the first passengers aboard Zephyrus with it's new captain Christine Charity.

4.5 stars. Set on board the ship Zephyrus in 19th century Australia, convict Charlotte meets captain Christian Charity and wonders why he seems so familiar to her. This is a second chance love story under difficult circumstances - Charlotte is engaged to her master, the creepy preacher Marcus Wainwright. Full of fascinating historical fact (I never knew what keelhauling actually meant!), it's blended seamlessly into a wonderful historical love story.

This story elicits a range of emotions from the reader, although it is perhaps a little over the top. Still an enjoyable story.
