Sophia James

Georgette Heyer novels formed Sophia James's reading tastes as a teenager. But her writing life only started when she was given a pile of Mills & Boons to read after she had had her wisdom teeth extracted! Filled with strong painkillers she imagined that she could pen one, too. Many drafts later Sophia thinks she has the perfect job writing for Harlequin Historical as well as taking art tours to Europe with her husband, who is a painter.

Reviews for A Proposition for the Comte

[wyvernfriend · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Lady Violet Addington officially mourned her husband, unofficially she was quite glad he was gone as he was abusive to her and his sister and her sons. His death may have been ruled as an accident but it was more his chickens coming home to roost. Now she's back into society but there's danger all around. One of her husband's secrets is putting her in jeopardy and someone will do anything to find out what he did with some gold. When she picks up a stranger one night who turns out to be a french intelligence agent, the Compte de Beaumont, not that she knows who the unconscious man is, his wounds needed tending.Lots of trying to find who the villain is and complicated politics and the complications of the pair of them falling in love. She believes that she can't have children so there is some (eventually resolved) angst there about that. There is also some angst and trouble but at the end it's all resolved. The relationship starts with lust and ends with romance and the two of them seem good with each other. I liked it.
