You know the kind of book where you're hooked from the beginning and want to race through it because the plot line is so compelling? But then, you find yourself going back over what you just read and savoring every paragraph because it is so beautifully written? This is one of those books. Rhianna is Amanda L. V. Shalaby's debut novel, and it is a wonderful read.  The book is a tale of a lovely young woman who has a suitor in France with whom she's grown up, and more than one suitor in England, where she's now living and working as a governess. Shalaby weaves in  lust, passion, lost loves, and true love, and does so in a lyrical style that is a delight to read. Buy this book! It's that good.
