The Huntley Trilogy
review 1: Another title from the brilliant Grace Elliot - book one of the Huntley Trilogy, Eulogy's Secret. A story of a seemingly innocent and naïve, but beautiful county girl, who travels to London after the death of her adoptive parents to seek out her real brother. Mugged on arrival she loses everything of value but quickly falls in love with the man that saves her from the muggers. Her rescuer, Jack Huntley, a member of high society London and landed gentry rapidly falls in love with this mysterious country girl. A gripping story of forbidden love that survives despite adversity and flourishes once Eulogy tells Jack her secret. I particularly love the way this author develops her characters and finished this book feeling as thought I had made new friends. This is beautiful and... more incredibly well researched story, what Ms Elliot doesn't know about British History isn't worth knowing.
review 2: This is the first novel I've read by Grace Elliot, and it has made me want to read more of her books. The storyline, characters and setting all came together to produce a wonderful story about a young girl, Eulogy, trying to find her place in the world after facing a tragedy. And yet, as she searches, she shows how strong-willed she is, how big her heart is, and how loyal she is. The hero of the book, Jack, seems almost her opposite, with his stubbornness, hard-to-trust attitude, yet readers can tell right away that is only a facade he hides behind. Together, they make a wonderful pair that compels the reader to read on just to see where things go with this interesting pair. And where they go leads the reader on an emotional roller coaster that twists and turns throughout the story, leaving the reader almost as breathless as the characters themselves. I look forward to reading more of Elliot's books in the future, especially the next book in the Huntley series. less

I enjoyed this story. It was a bit predictable, but I still liked it.
