Plot:Ten years ago a head injury cost Rose her sight and her independence. When Amberley enters her life she discovers all that she lost, and what she needed. Amberley found someone to love. But secrets, theirs and others, will work to keep them apart.Comments:- Historical Georgian Romance, 1774.- 388 pages, 10386 kindle locations- m/f - clean, not before marriage.- There's a bit of an age difference between our H and h - Amberley's 34 to Rose's 22 - but more significant is the gap in experience. As a result of her sight loss Rose has spent her life secluded and isolated. Part of Amberley's goal is to see her enter the world and able to make her own choices - preferably him.Opinion:I haunt the Amazon Customer Forums for recommendations of new books. There are so many out there it is impossible to know every one. And recently Stella Riley came up as a favourite author and "The Parfit Knight" as a favourite book. So I gave it a go.And I wasn't disappointed.First published in 1986under the pen name "Judith Blyth", "The Parfit Knight" has been reissued as an ebook as Riley embraces self-publishing. It's a nice, easy read with enjoyable characters and strong story. It does strike one as of-the-time; it certainly doesn't read as a contemporary-written historical with an abundance of sex. But neither is it an 80s bodice ripper. It's just a nice story with memorable characters.A re-reader.- Linked Books -Book 1 "The Parfit Knight" - Rosalind Vernon and the Marquis of AmberleyBook 2 "The Mésalliance" - Adeline Kendrick and the Duke of Rockliffe-CR-
