Robert | 3 comments Hi,
I have been looking for this book for a while. i did a book swap back in 2009 i really enjoyed this book and would like to read again.
it sets the scene in victorian times or edwardian but i'm sure it was victorian??
a teenage girl whom is the daughter to a chair maker lives in a dorset coastal town i think weymouth. anyways, they move to London. so her farther can make more money in his small business. she gets involved with the wrong people and ends up getting rapped by a circus boy. she is ashamed by this and keeps it a secret however she is pregnant! her parents want her to move back to dorset with them but she can't as she has this secret that will show soon, so she runs away and stays with a neighbour.

Can any one help

thanks

Brenda | 70 comments I cannot help you, but the plot sounds interesting if you ever find out the title and author, please make sure to post it. Perhaps Barnes & Noble can help you. Some of their employees are widely read.

Fiona | 2 comments Hi
I'm looking for a historical romance set in the Victorian era somewhere in England, probably written in the 80s or early 90s.
the front cover had a picture of a rose I think. The heroine was a red head. She was from a poorer background and I remember the beginning of the book she was getting hunted by a group of aristocrats in a fox hunt, as though she was a fox and it was something one of the lords in the country areas like to organise-hunting young maids from poor backgrounds with other lords he invited from London for fun, then they would catch them and I think rape them. The hero was invited and after catching her he kept her or something.
Thats all I remember, read it over 10years ago.
It was my first romance novel. If anyone could help?

comfort Hi,
This is a PNR (maybe YA) book with some bad guys chasing the good guys, What I remember is that two of the Good Guys are in a supermarket shopping and when they leave they see signs that the Baddies are watching them from a stand of trees or a forest which is near the shop.
I seem to remember they wore long dark robes.

I think it was the first in a series

Could it have been Ireland? It might be Carnal Gift

No, not the one, I think mine must be more PNR and or YA. But this book sounds interesting. Thanks for trying
