Ms. Miller has certainly made a place for herself among Regency writers. She debuted with The Elusive Miss Ellison and then repeated her triumph with The Captivating Lady Charlotte. She writes scenes that make one feel as though they are part of the story. The dialogue is crisp and the settings are stunning. I enjoyed watching the naive, coddled, Lady Charlotte come into her own. The story was full of joys and sorrows with a little suspense wrapped up in a Regency Romance. I can't wait to read whatever delightful story Ms. Miller crafts in her third book, The Dishonorable Miss Delancy. I'm sure it will be worth the wait!
From Amazon:
Her heart is her own--but her hand in marriage is another matter
Lady Charlotte Featherington is destined for great things on the marriage market. After all, as the beautiful daughter of a marquess, she should have her pick of the eligible nobility when she debuts. She, however, has love at the top of her list of marriageable attributes. And her romantic heart falls hard for one particularly dashing, attentive suitor. Sadly for Charlotte, her noble father intends her betrothed to be someone far more dull.
William Hartwell may be a duke, but he knows he was Charlotte's father's pick, not the young lady's own choice. And the captivating Lady Charlotte does not strike him as a woman who will be wooed by his wealth or title. While she has captured his heart, he has no idea how to win hers in return--and the betrayal and scandal his first wife put him through makes it difficult for him to believe that love can ever be trusted. His only hope is that Charlotte's sense of responsibility will win out over her romantic notions.
Can a widowed duke and a romantically inclined lady negotiate a future and discover love beyond duty? Will they be able to find healing and hope from the legacy of grace?
Poignant and charming, this is another beautifully written, clean and wholesome Regency romance from Carolyn Miller in the tradition of Georgette Heyer and Julie Klassen. Fans of The Elusive Miss Ellison will meet compelling new characters--and a few old friends.
About the author:
Biography
Hi, I'm Carolyn Miller, author of 'The Elusive Miss Ellison'.
I live in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia.
I'm married, with four gorgeous children, who all love to read (and write!) as I do (except not in the Regency genre - funny, that!).
My favorite authors are classics like Jane Austen (of course!), Georgette Heyer, and Agatha Christie, but I also enjoy contemporary authors like Susan May Warren and Becky Wade.
I try to write stories that are fun and witty, yet also deal with real issues, such as dealing with forgiveness, the nature of really loving versus 'true love', and other challenges we all face at different times.
I hope you enjoy reading my novels. Thanks for stopping by!
I was given this book by the author for review purposes. All thoughts are my own.
