A Lady for Lord Randall

April 15, 2015

Meeting at a party given by his free-thinking sister, confirmed bachelor Justin Latymor, Col. Lord Randall, might be forgiven for thinking that unconventional, marriage-averse Mary Endacott manages a brothel instead of a school for young ladies. Still, when their mutual attraction leads to the inevitable proposition, Mary is horrified, furious, and determined to keep her distance. Then Randall ends up escorting Mary back to her school in Brussels on his way to rejoin his troop, Randall's Rogues, and the two can't seem to avoid each other. VERDICT A radical schoolmistress and a nobly born military officer discover passion amid the chaos of battle in the first of an exciting Waterloo-based trilogy. Note: Each book is by a different author; the next two (by Annie Burrows and Louise Allen, respectively) will be published in June. Winner of two RNA (Romantic Novelists' Association) Rose Awards, the multipublished Mallory (Never Trust a Rebel) lives on the edge of Britain's Yorkshire Pennines.
