These details were refreshing because I don’t know about you, but I’m a little tired of heroines in their early 20s falling for men aged 30+. Honestly, they might just be my favorite historical romance couple of all-time! Also, Clara is an “older” heroine at thirty-one (I say this appreciatively as a woman in her late 20s), and Quincy is actually younger than her by a few years. Main characters Quincy and Clara have both endured heartbreaking experiences that give them flaws, yet they are entirely believable characters who’ve remained kind and loyal despite their struggles. I’m so glad I ended my year with such a heartwarming historical romance! I stand by what I said in my review of book #1 Christina Britton is a talented writer whose imagery blends perfectly with the emotional aspects of the story to paint a compelling and beautiful picture. Agent: Kim Lionetti, BookEnds Literary.I’m back to reviewing and so looking forward to all the books I’ll be reading in 2021!Īs one of my final 2020 reads, Someday My Duke Will Come was an absolute gem.
Britton creates high stakes and deep emotion by demonstrating the dangers and constraints of women’s day-to-day lives at the turn of the 19th century and then soothes aching hearts with a swoonworthy love story. Things become even more complicated when Sebastian (who is just as dashing as ever) arrives on the Isle as part of an elaborate plan to marry an heiress and save his dukedom-only to be distracted by his lingering love for Katrina. Though her friends stand behind her, others hold her responsible for Landon’s death and treat her as an outcast. Katrina’s life is again interrupted when Lord Landon pursues her once more-only to fall to his death while trying to climb through her bedroom window. The scandal forces her into exile on the Isle of Synne, where, four years later, she works as a companion to the prickly Lady Tesh. Katrina Denby’s hopes for more than flirtation with the rakishly charming Sebastian Thorne, Duke of Ramsleigh, are dashed when she is accosted by the amorous Lord Landon, ruining her reputation.
Worthy characters get a second chance in Britton’s masterful second Synneful Spinsters Regency (after Some Dukes Have All the Luck).
