Zandra by Norma Lee Clark

Another silly book.

Zandra had blossomed from the love and kindness of Mrs Thrikell, who had rescued her from a gypsy caravan at the age of twelve.

Now, blissfully unaware of the radiant beauty she had become, Zandra was unprepared for the zealously and hostility she would encounter from London society...and for the strange, new emotions borne by the passionate gaze of the dashing Captain Fitzallen.

But, dare she trust her own feelings of passion? He had known so many woman. Would she be just another of his heedless conquests?

The Masquer by Denice Greenlea

A rather silly book.

Her real name was Christabel Devlin but she called herself Miss Stone. Because behind the glasses, and the plain dowdy figure an incredible beauty lay hidden.

It was this loveliness that had caused her many problems with the titled gentlemen for whom she had previously worked as a governess. They could not keep their hands off her.

Now, disguised as plain Miss Stone, she hoped she would be left in peace-until she came to Lord Worthing's estate to care for his nephew. She found herself falling in love with him, but she tried to ignore it. To him she would always be "Stone".

Young Lord Worthing found Christabel a gem. She was bright, efficient and most clever. What he did not know was that he would soon find her a priceless jewel...

Quicksilver Lady by Barbara Whitehead

This book took me so long to read and I don't know why. Basically I forced myself to sit and finish it. And because of that I think I found it slightly boring and uninteresting. Maybe I was just in an off book mood or something. Sometimes you just have to be in the right mood.

Lovely Arabella, disappointed in love when the man she had hoped to wed married someone else, went to London to soothe her aching heart.

London welcomed her with balls, masquerades, theatres, dowagers and dukes-and more. Lies, scandal, and betrayal.

But somehow, somewhere, she was certain that she would find that deep and lasting love that only two people could share...

QUICKSILVER LADY-

A romantic tale of love and deception set against the power of pageantry of Regency England.

The London Ladies by Georgina Grey

I actually read this book a few weeks ago and can't really remember too much about it. I think I found it vaguely irritating but I can't recall why.

They looked like sister and brother with their golden good looks and charming manners.

But they were not. In fact, they were adversaries. Evelina had caught the eye of David's uncle-a dashing old rue'-and David was certain that the young woman was up to no good.

Evelina, horrified that anyone could think she would encourage the advances of old Lord Beemish, was furious with David.

But it was that old rogue himself who finally thought up a solution to this strange triangle.

The Constant Companion by Marion Chesney

This book was funny as I had read it a while back and didn't even remember it. About half way through a light bulb came on that this was somewhat familiar. Guess that tells you how memorable the book was.

"I am Miss Lamberton. Miss Constance Lamberton. I hoped that you would employ me as your companion."

And so the quiet Constance came to the household of the haughty and beautiful Lady Amelia. She would serve as milady's chaperon at the Season's many festivities, an unwitting accomplice in Lady Amelia's scheme to trap the very eligible Lord Philip into marriage.

But it was not Lady Amelia who won Lord Philip's heart. It was the pale, golden-eyed Constance. And very soon, Constance became Lady Philip Cautry. It was not a marriage made in heaven. But surely, in time....


And then Constance disappeared. Lord Philip didn't know why or how. Nor did he care. All that mattered to him now was the safe return of his beloved Constance....
