Amanda L.V. Shalaby has channeled Jane Austin in this lovely romance. Her writing style seems to come from another time and the exquisite details make the reader feel like she is walking through the rooms that her characters inhabit. There must have been a lot of research involved to so perfectly capture the food, clothing, decor and architecture of both London and the country estates. Audra is a delightful heroine determined to stay true to her childhood sweetheart. Her station in life requires that she be presented at court and have a season. Audra intends to cut that season short and return home to make her engagement official. However, forces are conspiring against her as others set their sights on the beautiful young woman and her considerable inheritance. I picked this book up last night and didn't get to bed until 3:00 in the morning. It was well worth losing sleep over and I recommend it to all lovers of romance.
