I think I've found a Period Romantic author that can rival Judith McNaught. Of course I'm still pretty much bias to McNaught being the all time best author for Romance genre books (especially Period Romance. Unfortunately I don't really fancy her modern-day romance novels), but tht doesn't mean I shouldn't give credit to other really good authors of the same genre.
Anyway, back to the book. It's abt Kassandra Wentworth ("Kit" for short), the daughter to a Viscount is already in her 20's (21 to be exact) & she's still not married (gasp!! horror!!.... **grin**). However, it's not from lack of suitors; but more so because she refuses to be submissive to the male gender - her father & future husband (if any) included. And due to a shameful secret from the past, she refused to ever fall in love (again, am not letting the cat out of the bag here so tht you can still enjoy the book).
Of course, there's always someone to change her mind on that. That hero is Clayton Harcourt. Naturally you'll need a strong hero to handle a spirited heroine like Kit. He's the bastard son of a wealthy Duke. What he lacks in purity of lineage, is "compensated" by his skills & shrewdness in managing his personal estates & finances - making him the Duke's favourite (though he can't openly admit / show it).
There's a thick plot from the time the 2 strong characters meet & have clash of will, to the point where they got married & even after they got married (sneak preview - there's a kidnap & chase scene involved). So overall it was highly entertaining, racy & full of suspense especially towards the end of the novel.
Go read it or if you can't find it, I'm willing to lend (if you're in Malaysia tht is).
