Hi guys and girls! Yep, it's that day of the week again. Welcome to WOW Wednesday. My guest today is Kymber Lee, author of regency romance and mystery/conspiracy novels. Read on to find out more about Kymber and her writing...
Lord Tristan's True Love
Did you know that the society of Regency England forced
members of the ton to marry if they were seen in public together? The
unescorted young lady’s reputation would be quite ruined otherwise.
This book is one such story and tells of Miss Caroline Denise Whittingham’s
misadventures in trying to get her betrothed to ‘cry off’. Unfortunately, one
of her schemes has her thrown out of the realm of society and her betrothed,
Lord Tristan Darlington, refuses to end the engagement until she finds her way
back into their good graces. Of certainty, the odds of regaining favour with
the peerage is slim in 1820 London, but Lord Darlington is a great friend of
the Countess Lieven and enlists her aid.
Caroline finds him to be a pompous, stuffy lord who is puffed up with himself
and his reputation; not caring a whit for her. In her efforts to expel Lord
Darlington, she is deliberately rude to him in public and pretends to be afraid he will hurt her. These escapades force him to show his nastier side to
the peerage he so desperately wants to impress.
On the day their engagement is announced in the London Times, there is a grand ball. Caroline presents herself in a most inappropriate gown and
causes everyone in the room to turn their backs on her. Lord Darlington comes to her side and forces her to dance the waltz with him, acting for all the
world as if nothing is amiss. Once the dance is over, he leads her into the
gardens to show her how women who behave so outrageously are treated.
The tearful pleadings to her strict parents all prove to be in vain. Miss
Whittingham cannot seem to win in this matter of the heart, for her father is
certain she should wed to save the family from disgrace. Her temper
tantrums and quick wit keep the story moving swiftly, carrying the reader from
page to page like rapids in a river.
The sparring between Miss Whittingham and Lord Darlington cause many a raised
eyebrow in society, which makes the book amusing and charming to read. It is my
sincere desire that you will find this book energetic, as well as entertaining, for it has been a pleasure to write.
Reviews
"Lord Tristan's True Love was artfully written in typical true romance style, with the main character, Caroline, being your headstrong, naive, inexperienced love interest of the callous Lord Tristan who was typically arrogant, aloof, separate... yet deeply in love from first sight with the wilful Miss Whittingham. The book was a joy to read, yet it left me wanting more! More descriptive details of the surroundings, the clothing, the carriages... everything! Being such a period piece, I truly wanted to be drawn in by the details of the era, which were a little sparse. Having said that, I would definitely recommend Lord Tristan's True Love for a quick weekend read and will be keeping an eye out for more from this author. Well done Miz Kymber Lee!"
