    About this ebook

    From the author of Darcy's Story comes a novel of romance, family tragedy, and intrigue in a volatile England at the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

    Julia Maitland had an idyllic childhood with her brother and younger sisters on her family's estate in rural Derbyshire. Upon reaching marriageable age, she looked forward to everything that her new status could bring: the excitements of her first “season” in society, a choice of handsome suitors, and—hopefully—a blissful future with a man she cherishes.

    But Julia's prospects take a disastrous turn with the sudden and unbearably tragic death of her soldier brother in the war against Napoleon and the loss of her father's investments. Within the span of a few weeks, she finds herself in London, then fashionable Bath, and ultimately chasing smugglers through the countryside in coastal Dorset. Yet through all the drama and turmoil she keeps alive her hopes for happiness and a love passionate, powerful, and true.

      This is a simple story of two people falling in love. And by simple I mean there is no suspense, mystery, twists, or even any tension. The novel tries for all of these by doesn’t quite make it so the book, and therefore the characters, fall flat. It’s a good enough idea but without any surprises or struggles to overcome overwhelming hardships there just isn’t much here. It is written in the language of the time and most of the time it’s fine but every once in a while a word or phrase jumps out as out of place and awkward. And there are a couple of points that are too obviously contrived, two characters need to be alone so there is someone at the door who came by for unexplained reasons, or there is a letter calling someone home for unexplained reasons. It wasn’t horrible or anything but in the end I just didn’t find it very interesting.
