1 post
Book 2 of the Series Marian Halcombe Camlet has just given birth to her first son, so it's not a good time for crisis. But her older stepson has run away from his abusive boarding school. And a fortune in diamonds and pearls, destined for Queen Victoria, has been stolen through the Camlet publication offices. Juggling maternity and parenting within the strict confines of Victorian womanhood, Marian attacks with all her customary vehemence.

This was an LT Early Reviewer win for me. The first time I tried reading it, I felt it was trying too hard to be 'of the period'. This time, having read a heap of 'Regency romances' which fell short or didn't try at all, it flows better. And I'm finding the letters of Camlet jr. an amusing diversion.
