Amanda Shalaby's Audra is a charming, refreshing and authentic historical romance. The young heroine, Audra, knows what life has in store for her. She will marry her neighbor, Crispin and they will live happily ever after in her beloved country. Her family has different plans. Soon, the wealthy heiress is introduced to society during London's high season. Making the best of a bad situation and a painful lack of word from home, Audra develops new friendships in London. When the attentions of a Secret Admirer get to be too much, will Audra seek comfort from the dashing Lord Everton? Or will she remain true to Crispin? I won't spoil the story, but the answer is worth reading.I love too how the heroine is of her time and not merely a modern girl placed into the past.  There is a timeless quality to this book that I adored.I received an ARC in exchange for honest review and I'm glad I did.
