"
Joyce's seventh de Warenne novel is another first-rate Regency,
featuring multidimensional protagonists and sweeping drama.
Six months after the death of her father, Lady Blanche Harrington
must seek a husband to help manage her vast fortunes. It's an
unfortunate but necessary duty for the chilly Blanche, who's
carefully controlled all emotions since the death of her mother
two decades earlier. As Blanche travels to her late father's
estate in Cornwall, she makes an ill-timed appearance at the
home of a former suitor's brother, Sir Rex de Warenne, catching
him in a compromising (but strangely enticing) position with
the maid. The attraction between the self-loathing Rex and self-denying
Blanche is vivid and believable, developing gradually under
the watch of Rex's bitter former lover. When Blanche's repressed
memories of her mother's death begin to resurface, a tumultuous
chain of events threatens the couple's love and possibly Blanche's
life. Entirely fluff-free, Joyce's tight plot and vivid cast
combine for a romance that's just about perfect." (Aug.)
