About this ebook
Mourning the death from consumption of her young sister, Fanny, Lady Jean Conway goes home to the Brecon dower house to be comforted by her former governess, Miss Bluestone. Rescued from a flood by Lord Clanross’s Scots steward James Sholto, Jean finds herself being courted by Hugh Fremont, a neighbour and a true Corinthian. Hugh shares her tastes and interests, he is both wealthy and handsome, and he wants to marry her. Before she can say yea or nay, though, Jean has to learn to trust her own heart. This title is published by Uncial Press and is distributed worldwide by Untreed Reads.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm a big Sheila Simonson far, both her regencies and her mysteries. This regency just didn't measure up to her other Regencies. I think the book was just too short. There was not enough detail about how how Jean and Sandy fell in love and not enough detail about how their mismatched stations would affect their lives going forward. I think the latter was the most dissatisfying. Even though her family were happy with the match, the book just ends abruptly when I think it got to the most interesting part -- how would they make it work.

Not as good as the first two books in the Conway series. Not much romance plus it ended too abruptly!! My favourite of this Author's work remains to be A Cousinly Connexion - one of my comfort books that I reread on a regular basis..1 person found this helpful
