Lady Sarah’s Redemption
by Beverley Eikli
(Reviewed by Sandra Hyde at MyShelf)
“I enjoyed this twist on the old gothic novel standby plot of the governess in the mysterious household. This imaginative writer stands a lot of the expected clichés on their heads and treats the reader to something rather different and refreshing. Spoilt Lady Sarah has some lessons to learn, as does man-with-a-past Roland and his "ugly duckling" daughter Caro. There are some surprising turns in this novel and the characters find themselves in rather more peril than might be surmised by reading (the blurb). The ending is a bit far-fetched in some respects, but don’t let that put you off diving into this talented new writer’s debut novel. If you think standard Regencies need a bit of shaking up, then this might fit the bill.”
Lady Sarah’s Redemption
LADY FARQUHAR'S BUTTERFLY
Review from Coffee time Romance
“I thought the revelations and struggles Olivia goes through to rediscover her independence was written wonderfully. It makes you as the reader relate to her suffering, pain, and growth as you see her go from a shell of a woman to someone who should be proud of all she has survived. Ms. Eikli tells a story that shows a woman who is absolutely controlled and manipulated by all those around her. Max is shown as a man who has great faith in who Olivia is until her unselfish actions are shown in a wicked light. This is a good novel with a nice storyline.”
BOOKS MONTHLY - “Charming Regency romance that rivals Georgette Heyer, although it has a slightly more serious tone than Heyer's romances. Olivia is a perfect heroine, and the plot is dizzyingly simple but effective.”
