The reason for so much time between posts this time was half due to a busier schedule, and the other half being that this book was 450 pages long. Yikes! I found this book at the Dollar Store. I know, I know, like I needed to buy another book. But hey, it was $1.00! And it was worth every penny.
Set in England in the 18th century, the book was about Henrietta who was abandoned by her mother and raised along side her cousins in the home of Lord and Lady Stavorley. She grows up learning the ways of upper class society and becomes an excellent friend to her cousin Catherine; that is, until Lord Allenham enters the picture.
Lord Allenham was by all accounts, gorgeous, well-studied, had a mind for politics and an eye for Henrietta. Although smitten by Lord Allenham, Henrietta being only 16, decides that she must deflect the affections of Allenham to her older cousin Cathy. All seems to be going well, until an untimely death and a surprise lineage forces Henrietta to leave all that she knows in search of true love.
The adventures that happen after her departure make up the majority of the book, and unfortunately, I can't tell you about them because it would give too much away.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
