Henrietta
Henrietta: Regency Candlelight 2 | M.C. Beaton
4 posts | 3 read
The second book in M.C. Beaton's charming Regency Candlelight trilogy. Even the inhabitants of secluded Nethercote looked pityingly upon young Henrietta, the Vicar's sister; her plain features seemed to almost guarantee her a solitary future. And yet, she had a determined spirit and magnificent hazel eyes. So when her Great-Aunt Hester left her unexpected wealth, Henrietta set out to conquer London's glittering high society and confound them all. But the fashionable elite was less than warm in its reception, especially when the newcomer, this bold minx, made clear her intention of winning the heart of one of society's most treasured gems: the irresistible, extravagant, heart-stopping Lord Beau Reckford, a prize wildly beyond her humble origins. The heroines of the Regency Candlelight Series set out to conquer London's glittering high society and marriage mart. These headstrong women cannot help but keep London society dangling on a string, but will they find a husband or lose themselves in the game? 'Romance fans are in for a treat' - Booklist '[M. C. Beaton] is the best of the Regency writers' - Kirkus Reviews

This romance has a darker plot than most by this author, w/our heroine in danger of being discredited & locked up for madness. But it was fun to have a little mystery to solve on the side of the romance. A romance which I thoroughly enjoyed, btw. I liked how the characters spent time getting to know each other & enjoying each other's company. It made the story richer. It took a bit long it took to get to the ending, but yes, I enjoyed it overall.

#MarchWrapUp! You'd think I'd have read more, but it's been a really weird and stressful month. Glad I got through these. The tagged and Scammed were probably my faves.

I recently listened to both Henrietta and Molly by Marion Chesney (aka M.C. Beaton). Molly was a rare American character, which ended up sounded not so great when done by the narrator (is THAT how we sound to British people?!). Still, these are the first 2 books in a fun series!

Just finished a book on racism, still reading a book on teen opioid and heroin addiction, and reading a thriller about memory loss and mass murder, so I'm shifting gears and listening to a romance book that is pretty much the bookish equivalent of puppy snuggles.
