by Elizabeth Rolls.
I've been sick the last two days, the only good that came of it was some reading time, although Monday I mostly just slept, yesterday I was able to at least read. And the kindle doesn't bother my headache like the computer!
So I finished up A Compromised Lady and I have to say, it's probably my favorite of the 3 (it's technically the second book but I read them out of order). I loved both characters, both such good people that this has to be my favorite. Although I already like Richard from the first book where his twin Max fell in love.
It's another Victorian romance. I'll have to try some more Elizabeth Rolls soon but for now my sister just dropped of a stack of new books (new authors) that are all Victorian age so I must give them a try!

Lord Braybrook's Penniless Bride
by Elizabeth Rolls.
Turns out this is kind of a third in a series. Luckily I had read the first in the series so I recognized the characters when they were referenced and it was just in passing so it didn't affect anything.
After the first book (His Lady Mistress) I decided I liked the style and purchased a few more of her books on Kindle and I'm glad I did. This one was hard to put down and I read it within a 24 hour period. Makes me think twice about starting the other one I bought before bed tonight :)
This one revolved around a Lord who finds a woman in need of a job and hires her as a governess for his siblings and companion for his step-mother. Eventually (obviously) falling in love with her. There were lots of characters and complex relationships which made for a good read. It dealt a lot with bastard children (unclaimed) which was an interesting viewpoint and theme throughout.
All in all I definitely liked it and look forward to reading the "second" in the trilogy especially now that i know it's tightly linked to the first book (the main character's brother is the main character in the second).

His Lady Mistress (kindle only)
by Elizabeth Rolls.
This Victorian romance was free on Kindle so I decided to give it a try since I love Victorian age novels (romance with mystery is more my style though). This was enjoyable and hard to put down. There were a lot of reviews about the frustration dealing with the mis-communications but I feel that most romances revolve around mis-communication and this one wasn't as unrealistic as most books (where you may be just yelling at a character to just say what they MEAN). This one I could understand why there were mis-understandings for the most part.
All in all it was a good read and for a free book, definitely worth it!
