Julia Justiss

Long before embarking on romantic adventures of her own, Julia Justiss read about them, transporting herself to such favourite venues as ancient Egypt, World War II submarine patrols, the Old South and, of course, Regency England. Soon she was keeping notebooks for jotting down story ideas. When not writing or traveling, she enjoys watching movies, reading and puttering about in the garden trying to kill off more weeds than flowers.

Reviews for My Lady's Trust

[jasmyn9 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I was pleasantly suprised by this Harlequin Historical Regency. While the story of Mrs. Laura Martin seemed very familiar (perhaps I have already read and just don't remember) which caused the story to be very predictable, the characters stole the show and make it a very enjoyable read. We are shown the various types of "upper class" personalities and how Mrs. Martin and the Earl of Bieulieu handle their attitudes, good or bad, gave the story some humor.4/5

You know from the dedication where this story is going. It reads "In memory of fellow writer Nancy Richards-Akers shot to death by her estranged husband June 1999 and to all women caught in domestic abuse. Get help. Get out. Your children need you."Yes it's a story about a woman who escapes an abusive husband and hides out in a small English Village. Her world changes when she goes to the aid of a young man accidentally shot and comes under the scrutiny of his brother, the Earl of Beaulieu, a man who likes puzzles and she's definitely one. However his questions may lead her problems back to her.It's an interesting story, the author doesn't shy away from the problems the character has with her abusive husband. There are a few telling moments where Beaulieu realises that the woman he's falling for is afraid of him that just make it quite interesting.Overall not a bad read, it does deal well with a gritty subject and doesn't gloss over some of the nitty gritty and the pain.
