I like Brenda Joyce, but just couldn't get into this one.
Helpful Score: 1
Brenda Joyce always tells a thrilling tale of love and danger. While this book borrows much from The Pygmalion, it is still a wonderful read for anyone who enjoys historical fiction. A plucky heroine, a dashing hero, a villain who is not so evil as he seems, and some steaming hot sex to sweeten the mix.
This was a good story..rags to riches type.
I had to review this one. This book started out well, but got really unrealistic about 2/3 of the way through. Very cliche and just not good. Since this is the first book of hers I have read, I am hoping the next one is better.
Two people from different worlds were brought together by passion, bound together by whispered accusations, and town apart by scandal and misfortune. The world claimed they should never love each other. Their hearts claimed otherwise.
An orphan from London's East End, a fugitive from the poorhouse, Violet Cooper, was tired of sleeping on the stoops and being hungry and cold. But she dared to enter a world forbidden to her and her kind. Even marriage to a gentle elderly knight and the title lady Goodwin could not open closed doors, stop the cold stares, or hush the shadowy rumors of murder.....
