Captain Rockford's Reckoning
Captain Rockford's Reckoning | Susan Lodge
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Esmie Elstone is thrown into panic when she hears of Captain Rockford's return. But she is determined that the days of him interfering with her life are over. Destroying her chances of a happy future on his last visit, had resulted in her being foisted on her Aunt for a third pointless season in London. To alleviate the boredom of society life, Esmie helps run a discreet betting enterprise under the guise of a sewing club. But there are some things you just shouldn't wager on, and Esmie's integrity is soon put to a dangerous test. Richard Rockford had known Esmie almost all her life. As neighbours, her father, Admiral Elstone, had depended on Richard to keep an eye on his daughter when he was away at sea - a responsibility he had always taken on willingly. But her cruel and thoughtless actions, from the day he had left four years earlier, had shaken him. Now, he was back, and he wanted answers. But when Esmie tumbles into a treacherous conspiracy, can he really turn his back on her?

Firstly, I'll let you know when I stop swooning over Captain Rockford. I love a brooding hero and he fits the bill. The story kept great pace and I enjoyed the dynamic of Rockford and Esme. Witty, funny and warm, recommended for fans of Heyer and Austen.
