Formerly a lady's companion, Jenny Holloway has had some money settled upon her, and she wants to indulge her desire for travel and independence. Her plan is to go to India and find out what really happened to the Sixth Earl of Castleton. Her solicitor and former friend (there was a quarrel) Tom Finchley is determined not to let her go alone, but traveling together can draw people close -- or drive them apart.
I feel like this book is perhaps closer to the author's heart than some of her others. Jenny and Tom are frequently recurring figures in her other books. I enjoyed this book more than the first book in its series, though the characters' behavior at some points stretches historical credulity. Still, I'd recommend this series as well as the Belles of London to readers who enjoy historical romance that's not all ballrooms and carriage rides.… (mais)

Lady Helena is in danger -- so much so that she answers an advertisement for a wife. Captain Justin Thornhill never expected a young beauty to answer his advertisement, and doesn't think Helena will suit the position at all, but he can't deny the attraction between the two of them. Can he keep her safe from her secrets -- and his own?
After reading the Belles of London series, it was obvious that some of the secondary characters there had more to their stories, so I picked up the Parish Orphans of Devon series to learn more. These historical romances are popcorn reads, and I imagine I will continue to binge on them for a while.… (mais)

Lady Anne had a bitter quarrel with her childhood sweetheart, but perhaps time has healed some of their wounds. Can they find a way to give each other a second chance?
As enjoyable as other books in the series, though the second is still my favorite.

Third in the Parish Orphans of Devon series; I didn't like Alex and so I didn't enjoy this book as much as some of the others. If you like a morally gray male main character in a romance, you'll like this more than I did. Still enjoying the series, though, and waiting on the next book.
