A Timeless Anthology: A Season in London, Book Review
Book Summary:
Three brand new Regency Romance novellas by Elizabeth Johns, Heather B. Moore, and Rebecca Connolly.
POOR RELATIONS by Elizabeth Johns
As a ‘poor relation,’ Emma Standrich has already pre-empted her dismal Season by applying for a governess post. Her aunt and cousin are kind enough to sponsor her, but in truth, Emma is just waiting for it to all be over. Emma’s grief over the death of her brother while in military service casts a pallor on everything else in her life. When Colonel Shelton, the man who was her brother’s superior, asks her to dance at her first ball, Emma is more surprised than anyone. But she has questions for him, and soon she’s caught up in an intrigue she wasn’t expecting—both of the heart and the mind.
EDWARD & EMILY by Heather B. Moore
As a second son, Edward Blackwood never anticipated becoming heir to his family estate, or the need to find a wife and secure that inheritance. But with the death of his older brother, Edward is thrust into a life he never wanted. When his mother encourages him to be kind to his long-time neighbor Emily Foster, a girl he’d hardly paid attention to while growing up, Edward realizes that returning home might not be such a set-back after all.
A SPORTING SEASON by Rebecca Connolly
Daphne Hutchins is no simpering female who aims for a husband with a fortune. In fact, she’d be more than happy to live her life free of the heartache that men seem to bring. So when she sets out to play the fool in front of the ton during her first Season in order to send all eligible men running, she’s quite unprepared for James Woodbridge. Bored, but with a sense of family duty, James arrives for the Season, anticipating going through the expected motions befitting any gentleman. What he isn’t prepared for is Daphne Hutchins and the way she completely upends his heart.
My Review:
A Season in London
I loved this collection of three novellas set in the regency era in London! Each novella
was perfect in length, not too short and not too long. I fell straight into the regency era
with each story! Poor Relations by Elizabeth Johns was just the perfect parts of intrigue
and romance! I love a good mystery and Johns provided the perfect one! The next story
was Edward and Emily by Heather B. Moore. I truly enjoyed this story about Edward
Blackwood who had lost his brother unexpectedly and Emily who had lost her father.
Thrown together, these two became an unlikely match. Their story was a fun and enjoyable
read! The last story was A Sporting Season by Rebecca Connolly. This was my favorite story
of the three, although I loved each and every one! I loved Daphne's strong spirit and her
willingness to carry out her plan. I loved her determination and her over the top methods
to carry out her plan. And then there was Jamie Woodbridge and man was he a keeper! He
was the most kind, patient and sweet man around! You will fall in love with this story! All
three stories are winners for me! Three great regency love stories, by one favorite author
and two soon to be favorite authors! If you want a quick pick me up read, then The Timeless
Regency Collection, A Season in London, is just for you!
Happy Reading!!!
