This weeks read is great for a varied audience, I'm pretty sure my husband would enjoy this one. I have read out loud a few books to him, but I think if I told the titles he enjoyed me reading to him here, I would undoubtilty hear about it later. So we'll save that information for later... Getting back to the book!
Jennifer Moore is a wonderful and talented writer. This weeks read is one of her latest! She has also written Becoming Lady Lockwood, Lady Emma's Campaign, as well as The Sheik's Ruby from a different publisher (and sadly the only one I have yet to read of hers.)
Let's take a peak at the back shall we;
1812--Southern belle Meg Burton is her parents' last hope of avoiding financial ruin, and a distant cousin's kind gesture seems an ideal solution: He will sponsor Meg for a London Season. The pursuit of a wealthy husband was not exactly how the bookish young woman had envisioned first trip abroad--after all, what does a girl from Charleston, South Carolina, know about being a lady? Amidst the stunning gowns and extravagant balls of the ton, Meg feels like an imposter. Thankfully, she has one friend who knows her true self--Carlo, handsome stable hand. Despite their difference in station, love blossoms between the unlikely pair, and Meg is sure of one thing: She wants nothing to do with the insufferable European aristocracy.
Prince Rodrigo de Talavera has lost everything to Napoleon. Jaded by war, he has become bitter and miserable until he meets Meg--an American woman whose eccentric schemes and passion for life remind him what it is to laugh and to love. If only she knew him for himself and not as Carlo the stable hand. With the shadow of deception looming over their happy acquaintance and the dangers of war drawing evermore near, can Meg and Rodrigo find the courage to put aside their pretenses and discover if they can be loved as they truly are?
As you are all just starting out on this read I have to tell you already I love her dedication. Book Club questions start tomorrow! Happy Reading!
