Irresistable and charming, I couldn’t put Edenbrooke down. In fact, Edenbrooke made me so unabashedly happy that I read it three times! Kind-hearted Marianne and chivalrous Philip will flit and flirt their way into readers’ hearts, all while they try to navigate love’s many obstacles.
With Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer as her inspiration, first-time author Julianne Donaldson captures the absolute best of the Regency period. Quick pacing and less formal language allow readers both young and old to enjoy many a swoon-worthy scene. in addition to a perfectly chaste romance, Donaldson includes action, humor and a touching tribute to families. This delightful tale needs to be on everyone’s “to-read” list!
