My favorite of the series
This is a Cinderella story. Duke’s son meets poor girl.
Lucinda Brant is one of my favorite authors. The characters are engaging and the dialogue is wonderful. This is definitely one of my favorites of the Roxton series.
Book 5 in The Roxton Family Saga is just as beautiful as the other four. I am officially addicted to the Georgian Era and Lucinda Brant. I love this Series. All the great characters from the previous books make appearances and are intricate to the story of Henri-Antoine Hesham and Miss Lisa Crisp. Two people that live in entirely different worlds that should never meet. Lisa was where she should not have been and is just in time to assist Henri-Antoine in his moment of need. Henry-Antoine has never met anyone like Lisa and is intrigued by a woman who does what must be done and keeps his secret. Lisa has never seen a more beautiful man in her entire life though not as important as keeping him from injury as he suffers from a seizure. Harry has managed to hide his illness as an adult from his friends and family, or so he thinks.
Lisa is an orphan who lives with her cousin and her husband, a doctor. Lisa has no friends, usually eats alone and only goes out on errands for her cousin. She is a strong-willed young lady who has a heart of gold and wants only to help and show her gratitude to her cousin and her husband. She considers herself lucky and grateful to have enough to eat and a roof over her head. She helps out in the Dispensary that Dr. Warner runs by being an amanuensis to the sick poor who cannot read or write. Lisa is astounded when Henri-Antoine arrives at the Dispensary to thank her for helping him and not telling anyone about the illness that he has lived with all his life. She assures him that she and Dr. Warner are not of the opinion that people who suffer from the falling sickness should be locked away in an asylum for the insane. She will keep his secret. For Henri-Antoine he is dazzled by Lisa and knows that he wants to see her again.
Henri-Antoine is a known ladies man who woman do not say no to. He is the brother of a Duke but now is not in line for the Dukedom because his brother has sons, for which he is grateful. He has no plans to marry ever. Lisa is also not likely to marry and have a family of her own. Neither one of them could have imagined that they would meet again in Henri-Antoine’s world.
The tale of this love story is that family comes first to the Roxton’s. The family structure is the foundation of the entire series. Rich and one of the most elite family’s in England and France the trials, losses, and victories make this series exceptional. Henri-Antoine and Lisa start and finish their journey of love with the approval of the whole Roxton family. Showing everyone that Love and Family are what drives this family forward. Not only the living but the dead are also part of the decision that will allow Henri-Antoine to follow his heart to the woman that he loves with all his heart, Miss Lisa Crisp.
Lucinda writes a truly beautiful love story with exceptional characters that you will love and visit over and over again. For those readers who love this series do not despair, I have a feeling we haven’t heard the last of the Roxton’s. The cherry on top of this wonderful treat is the performance of Alex Wyndham who takes Lucinda’s words and pulls you into his performance and the lovely story that unfolds in his smokey and sexy voice. I highly recommend this series to everyone who loves beautiful Historical Romance.
Having won this book at a giveaway event on Facebook, I looked forward to reading it. I really enjoyed Lisa and “Harry’s” story and even though I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, it was still enjoyable as a stand alone. The only complaint I do have is that some parts had way too much writing to describe something that could have been written in just a couple of sentences. Apart from that, it was a great story:)
I devoured Lucinda Brant’s Roxton Family Saga series, including this book. I loved the characters and have always liked series where you can keep in touch with various characters that have been introduced. This series was fabulous because each book started right where the previous one left off, so it was truly one epic story.
This is the first books I’ve read from this author and I couldn’t put it down. I enjoy
period romance and i enjoyed these characters and the story.
very enjoyable
Lucinda Brant has good ideas about stories, but she desparately needs a good editor.
Great reading
#6 in a fabulous series. Henri-Antonio’s story was my favorite except for the 1st book: Noble Satyr. (His parents’ story) If you loved Georgette Heyer’s THESE OLD SHADES and THE DEVIL’S CUB, you will love this series.
