These types of historical romance novels are my guilty pleasure. They are pure fluff, somewhat predictable, and I don’t have to think about anything while I read it. I can just escape to the land the author has created without worrying too much over the story line. I prefer a nice, happy ending, and these type of romances provide what I like. With this book being set in London during the times of the young ladies’ coming out parties, it makes the history of the book a little more familiar to me since I've read many set in this time period.
After a year of a miserable marriage, Mrs. Charlotte Wylde becomes widowed after her husband is murdered. Henry was an eccentric antiques collector; his will stipulated that his widow couldn’t sell anything, and the house was to become a museum. Henry’s two closest relatives were shocked at his iron-clad will, but more shocked that he had a wife. Charlotte’s sister-in-law takes her around to the balls and parties during the London season to get to know her. And, Charlotte’s nephew, Alec, lets her stay in his house for a time, and Charlotte befriends Alec’s younger sisters. Charlotte gets to know her husband’s family, and learns some of their secrets.
This book takes several unexpected turns leaving the reader wanting to know what happened in the family’s past to lead to the present. It also contains more than just one story line, which makes the book a little more interesting.
This book can be purchased at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or your local book store.
