This is the book with Alex’s and Jane’s story; of the Beauchamp’s Heirs this is the story I most wanted to read. The pain that Alex is having in nightmares and in not wanting to have anything to do with his family (not much), just wanting to runaway or getting into trouble. Not being able to confide in anyone(because he has buried in his mind that he doesn’t know) he just wants to be alone with his horses.
Then there is Jane, she has been in love with Alex ever since she was little when she followed him around. As she grew up her father had remarried and her stepmother made it her goal to get Jane married through any means (without letting anyone know) but when she planned to have Jane marry a gentleman, that Jane didn’t like not just because he was older but that he drank and that he was not who she really wanted.
At the beginning if this book you are seeing Alex finally coming home to visit, and of course Jane will be there and maybe Jane can see if Alex could love her but do to a situation that was planned by Jane’s stepmother, everything goes to…
I really loved how this book went as to being at a house party then to an incident to wedding then through many page turnings to see the HEA and Janice has done a wonderful way to theirs.
After reading the start of the Beauchamp’s elder’s books and starting this Heirs set of books, Janice has brought a family that you can’t help but fall in love with, their many different personalities that would seem to not match but with her magic in spinning many obstacles and situations Janice has won me over to them. And after finishing Alex and Jane’s book there is so much I would love to continue this family… but we still have Janice’s other wonderful books to read.
From Wallflower to Countess by Janice Preston is a very mesmerizing and well written story. I loved the characters and found them to all be very interesting. This book, had me hooked from the very beginning. The story and characters are all very well developed and you can feel every emotion as you read. The story flows nicely and there isn’t any holes in the story BUT I wish it didn’t end when it did. I had a few questions about Charles and Harriet that were left unanswered. It felt a little unfinished for me… Because I just have to know everything . Anyways, it doesn’t detract from the story, it’s just my curiosity that gets the best of me. A very easy 5 stars.
This is the first book I have read from author Janice Preston and loved it! Will definitely be reading more of her books in the near future!
Richard the Earl of Stanton is considered one of the most eligible bachelors of the ton. Lady Felicity Weston who has been out for 6 years has always lived in the shadow of her mother and sister and does not feel she is good enough or pretty enough for a man like Stanton. Our hero and heroine end up in a marriage of convenience arranged by others as neither want to go through the marriage mart. Both wanted a marriage with no emotional ties and there are many doubts between the two on if they will suit or not…
I liked Felicity and Richard from the start. Both have insecurities and tragedies in their pasts that keep them from being open with each other in the beginning. There is definitely a spark of attraction between them and I liked that their relationship actually had time to grow as they both began to trust and love one another!
I really enjoyed Richard and Felicity’s story along with the great secondary characters and I would highly recommend it!
