Lady Laurel Laningham refuses to fit the stereotype of the damsel in distress. She is put upon by the worst of everything...family, circumstances and an impossible attraction to one of the most frustrating and obstinate yet compelling heroes I've ever read. From the opening shocking carriage accident and abduction, through a family group that would out-traumatize J.R. and company from Dallas, this is a romp extraordinaire! Congrats to debut writer Wareeze Woodson for creating a cast of characters I won't forget. The vexing hero, Lord Adron Gladrey has many issues with relationships, and particularly relationships with women, thanks to his mother. Woodson shows them in a very believable way. Lady Laurel is spunky, a woman of her time, trapped by the powerlessness women in 19th century England had to endure...issues with property, wealth and even control over their own children when they were widowed. It was a riveting read and I will look forward to more from this new writer.
