Written by Linore Rose Burkard

About the Book…

England, 1813: Romantic woes at home send Ariana Forsythe to her Aunt Bentley’s town house in the fashionable Mayfair district of London. There she finds worse troubles than those that prompted her flight from home. Under her aunt’s watchful eye, Ariana is soon steeped in high society–and at odds with Mr. Phillip Mornay, London’s current darling rogue.

Then, unexpectedly, rumour of a scandal changes Ariana forever. Her faith and her future are at stake in an unexpected adventure that gains even the Prince Regent’s attention.

Will Ariana’s faith survive this test? And what about her heart? For it is Ariana’s heart that most threatens to betray the truths she has always believed in. When she finds herself backed against a wall, betrothed to a man who cannot share her faith, how can it ever turn out right?

You may purchase this title from Barnes and Noble and Amazon.com!

  2. I have never read this author before however I will read this book. I am a fan of Jane Austen and period books, the Christian aspect adds to my interest. I look forward to reading it.

  3. Jessica, This book sounds amazing! I will be at Barnes & Noble’s door when they open tomorrow at 9am! Ariana sounds like someone with whom I could identify. As an English teacher, I love the idea of the genre that this book represents. Also, I love the idea of blending Christian ideas with real life experiences that are positive. I can see now that I am going to ravish this book this weekend. I’ll let you know on Monday! Thanks for the excellent review!

  4. Wow. It sounds fantastic. A darling rogue and high society. Its hard to go wrong with that combo. I have added this to my “to read” list.

  6. While I have not previously read a historical romance with a Christian perspective, it sounds like an interesting read. I will have to add it to my list of books to purchase in the near future.

  7. This is a new author for me but it is my kind of book. I will read and I’m sure it will be a hit for me and many others. Keep up the good work.

  10. Phoebe Jordan – NYC – I'm a part-time aspiring romance novelist, book reviewer and blogger. I've always wanted to travel the world and learn everything I can about other countries. Learning the Italian language is one way of trying to make that dream come true. Traveling will help me with my writing because I'll be learning about the history of the U.S., Latin America, England, Italy, and Ireland, the countries I find so fascinating while reading the romance genre. I read and review romance novels of almost every subgenre along with erotic romance, mystery, sci-fi/fantasy and young adult novels. You can find the reviews at my blogs, Talk About My Favorite Authors and Phoebe Jordan's Reviews. I’ve also started a live podcast show called TAMFA | Phoebe Jordan hosted on Blog Talk Radio. This show is dedicated to everything I love about romance and young adult novels. I love having romance and young adult authors live on my show to be interviewed and showcase their books. I plan to write contemporary romance, romantic suspense, erotic romance, paranormal romance and young adult when I get my writing career started with help from Keta. I'm not sure what genre I'll write to begin with since I love to read so many different romance genres.
