review 1: This was a sweet romance between two very battered souls. Jeremy is a widower whose wife had died due to childbirth complications. He throws himself into the funding of the Foundling Children's Hospital. When he finds our that the girl that his late wife had doted on has been fostered out to a widow with a bad reputation, he is determined to get the girl back to fulfill his late wife's last wish to provide for the girl. Olivia has been liberated after ten long years of cruel marriage. Three years prior, upon her return to London, she made the mistake of attending a public masquerade and allowing herself to be caught kissing a masked man. Her reputation ruined before she ever had a chance to reenter society, she allows the rumors to remain unchallenged as she retires to her... more country estate and throws herself into loving her foster children. The two meet, and attraction is strong, but the secrets of their pasts, combined with the impossibility of her tarnished reputation against his stirling presence for the hospital makes the match almost hopeless.I enjoyed reading as they fought their attraction for the sake of propriety, and then later fought to make their dreams come true. I would read more from this author.
review 2: I love historical romances and this is one of the better ones. Just the right amount of steam coupled with a good story. The widowed Lady Dearing has adapted to her life as an outcast from the London aristocracy, preferring to stay hidden away on her estate with her protective and loyal staff. She has adopted several troubled fondlings who ease her loneliness and disillusionment after an abusive and childless marriage. When she is faced with a nobleman who wants one of her adopted family she is forced to rethink her views about society, men, marriage and past dreams. With a single kiss Jeremy makes an unforgettable impression on the Lady when the meet at a Masquerade party. So begins this love story that will keep you enthralled to the very end. I loved the writing and the story. less
