A Lady's Secret

Whenever someone disparages my taste for romance I ask whether they've actually read any romances and if they haven't I recommend that they read something by one of the genre's best writers. Quite frequently it's something by Jo Beverley. Ms Beverley has wit, humour and intelligence, all of which she brings to bear when she constructs her intricately plotted historical romantic adventures. This time she brings us a classic road story. When Robin Fitzvitry, the Earl of Huntersdown spots a nun swearing in the yard of inn on the road home from Versailles he is intrigued. When he meets the nun's shrew of an employer and her brats he offers his assistance. As they journey to England Robin and Petronilla "Petra" d'Averio face murderous thugs chasing them and peasants up to no good. All the while the attraction that grows between them threatens to make both forget the promises and vows they are meant to be keeping.

This is fun, fun, fun but I don't class it with the very best of Jo Beverley's Georgian books as Petra can be a little annoying but I know I'll read it several times and award it a place on my keeper shelf.

Summary of A Lady's Secret

When Robin Fitzvitry, the fun-loving Earl of Huntersdown, encounters a cursing nun in a French inn, he can't resist the mystery. He offers to help Sister Immaculata reach England, expecting amusement on the tedious journey home from Versailles.

Petre d'Avernio is not exactly a nun, though she has spent years in an Italian convent with her mother, whose death has left her in danger. She must find the only person who might protect her-her true father, an English lord who does not know she exists. The gorgeous earl Robin Fitzvitry will be a dangerous ally, but she's glimpsed her pursuers and must race to the coast. She will resist him, use him, and eventually escape him with her virtue and secrets intact-she hopes.
