I have always liked reading Judith McNaught books. Caveat to that - only her historical romance novels & not the contemporary ones.... God knows my life is already full of modern day problems.... I dun wanna know more modern women's complexities - especially when it's fictional. hehe... I know... I know... quite a hypocrite when I can accept Cecelia Ahern's problem riddled heroine... Well, maybe the truth is, I just don't like it as much as her historical romance.
Anyway, this one did not disappoint me either... The heroine is as usual feisty & courageous. The hero - dashing & quite a rake who knows all the tricks within & out of the bedroom... *wink* *wink*. The plot filled with twist & turns, rich with the culture / eccentrics of Regency England & you can bet having a few touching / heart rending moments that will make you weep / angry tht the hero is too dense to accept reason / listen to explanations & jump into their egoistical conclusions tht were most definitely wrong.
This book is abt a governess - Sherry, who's accompanying her charge fr US to UK to meet her fiancee. Along the way, her charge eloped with another passanger on board the ship & Shery was forced to explain to the fiancee waiting at the docks. What she didn't know was tht the man whom she thought was her charge's fiancee is actually another nobleman who accidentally killed the fiancee in a road accident (involving his horse-driven coach - not a car) & he was there to apologise for the unfortunate event. Before Sherry can say anything, the nobleman immediately told her abt the death of the fiancee. Out of shock, she stepped in the way of a crate being moved over-head & she suffered a blow on her head. She awoke with memory loss & the guilt-ridden nobleman (Stephen) assumed the role as her supposed "fiancee" to keep her from further suffering & to ensure her speedy recovery.
Along the way, naturally they fell in love & was preparing to get married...... but..... all hell broke lose when the real Cheryl Lancaster (the name of her charge) appeared & claim tht Sherry had cheated her of her title & status in society. That's when all the misunderstanding comes in, the hero & heroine faught, suffer, jump into conclusions tht made matters worse & finally as usual something / someone helped clear the air & they get back together to live happily ever after....
Adult fairy tale.... but I like.... :-)
