Belhaven Bride

By HELEN DICKSON

Her life changed overnight

When Anna Preston was introduced to her estranged family at their Belhaven estate, London's glamorous set became her new milieu, with never–before–dreamt–of trips to Paris and the French Riviera. There was now even the chance of a place at Oxford University.

Thrown headlong into this exciting new world, she needed a solid rock to cling to, and this she found in Alex Kent. Having escaped the revolution in Russia as a boy, Alex was an impressive if enigmatic man. He sought to protect Anna from the perils of her new life, but even he couldn't keep her from the dangers that came with falling in love .

Reviews for Belhaven Bride

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

While pretty predictable, the characters came alive for me and I enjoyed the relationships. Anna Preston discovers that she isn't really alone in the world, her grandfather is still alive and he wants to engage her in a relationship. His friend who introduces her to a new world and a new life is Alex Kent, a Russian Emigree who has several secrets and his relationship with other people influences the course of their relationship.

It seemed to be a story hung on some concepts rather than flowing well. Still I found it very readable
