'Lady’s maid…
To wedded Lady?
Lady’s maid Jane Bailey’s life is turned upside down by the arrival of wealthy gentleman Robert Kendal. He’s come to take Jane to visit her long-lost, aristocratic grandfather. Travelling together, they succumb to a mutual attraction. Yet Jane knows a maid should not hope to love a gentleman, even if she’s suddenly wearing silk dresses and dining with the Family. Society decrees they cannot marry, but how long can Jane deny her heart?'
So this is the first Regency book I have read in a while and also the first book I have read by Catherine Tinley. I don't usually read Regency but after reading the blurb I wanted to give it a go. So the book has Thirty One Chapters, so it's a really good length and the chapters are a good length so they are not too short or too long. One thing I loved about the chapters was that they were split between Roberts point of view and Jane's with a very clear way of showing you when you were changing point of view.
When it comes to the scenery and places, Catherine is very descriptive to the point that you can almost visualize what the characters are seeing. This book was a nice and easy read. Throughout the book there was an underlining simmering tension that existed between the main characters Robert and Jane.
Let me tell you a little bit about the Author Catherine Tinley. She is an award winning author who writes witty, heartwarming, Regency love stories for Harlequin Mills & Boon. She has loved reading and writing since childhood, and has a particular fondness for love, romance and happy endings. After a carer encompassing speech & language therapy, NHS Management, maternity campaigning and being President of a Charity, she now works in Sure Start. She lives in Ireland with her husband, children and dog. She can be reached at www.catherinetinley.com, as well as www.facebook.com/CatherineTinleyWriter and @CatherineTinley on twitter.
Overall I immensely enjoyed this book, I loved the characters as well as the plot. Some of the best news I discovered at the beginning of this book is that it is actually a part of a series. This book was absolutely amazing and Catherine may have converted me to reading more from the Regency Genre, or at least more Catherine Tinley books. You can get your copy HERE.
