My Elusive Countess

This is a re-release of a book that was originally published by Cerridwen Press
in 2012. The current version features a new cover and minor changes in the text.

            Although Amanda was born into the merchant class, she married into the aristocracy, a fact she would regret were it not for the son she bore to the Earl of Willowvale. Now widowed for two years, Amanda is attempting to protect her son from exposure to the vices of the nobility when her plans are overset by the unexpected appearance of a guardian for her son. She immediately realizes that the Marquess of Blackbourne is a danger to her plans, her peace of mind, and, quite possibly, to her resolution to avoid entanglement with another nobleman.

            The Marquess of Blackbourne is convinced that when he finally locates the Countess of Willowvale, she will be the crass and manipulative harridan her late husband had described. Unknown to the countess, Blackbourne is guardian to her young son, and he intends to see that the boy is raised as befits his station, even if that means taking him away from his mother. But Blackbourne’s plans change the second he sets eyes on the beautiful countess. He immediately realizes that he must have her, no matter what her background and her character flaws may be. The countess, however, proves elusive in more ways than one, and she leads Blackbourne on a merry chase that eventually teaches him that love is in a class of its own.

Review

I do love a good historical romance and this one was very enjoyable. Garath and Amanda are very likable characters and they have great chemistry. I especially liked Amanda. Her no nonsense attitude is refreshing. Secondary characters reek havoc in this story and create a memorable plot. I enjoyed the interplay between characters and the vivid descriptions of the places and people in this time period. There are a few twists in the story that make for an interesting read and the love story is delightful.
