The
Story of a Baron
by
Linda Rae Sande
Genre:
Historical Romance
What will she discover when she reads between the lines?
Jeffrey Althorpe is in need of more income for the struggling
Sommers barony. As a peer of the realm, he’s not allowed to work, but if he’s
able to earn money from a book he’s written – anonymously, of course - no one
will be the wiser. A dowry would be easier, but then he would have to find a
wife willing to marry a baron.
While her brother, the Earl of Everly, is away on one of his
lengthy expeditions, Lady Evangeline is left behind in London to spend her days
creating exquisite embroideries and reading books. She's about to buy The
Story of a Baron at The Temple of Muses when Lord Sommers suddenly
appears. He’s intent on buying the very same book, but there's only the one
copy.
Desperate to discover what changes his publisher might have made
to his story - without letting on he’s the author - Jeffrey suggests they read
it together. Evangeline's sterling reputation could use a bit of scandal, she
decides, and so she agrees to Lord Sommer's proposal.
As the two read The Story a Baron, Evangeline realizes
some of the characters and settings are just a bit too familiar. And a bit too
close to home. Was she the inspiration for the baron’s secret love, a bold,
brash woman whose reputation is in tatters?
With her own reputation suddenly in question, Evangeline finds her
life imitating art. How can the book have a happy ending when she wishes she’d
never purchased The Story of a Baron?

My Review
Overall 4 stars
Received a copy.
I typically don't read books like this, but holy wow. I loved this book. This is the first book I have read from this author and I will be reading more from her. I loved Jeffrey and Evangeline. At first i didn't like her but she really grew on me as the story went on. I thought the story was unique and interesting and it flowed very well. I do recommend this book, you wont be disappointed!

From
book production and technical writing to research and romance
A self-described nerd and
lover of science, Linda Rae spent many years as a published technical
writer specializing in 3D graphics workstations, software and 3D animation (her movie credits include SHREK and SHREK 2). An interest in genealogy led to years of research on the Regency era and a desire to write fiction based in that time.

Now running the front
office of a busy print shop, she's developed an appreciation for pretty papers
and spends time using them in her scrapbooks. She can frequently be found at
the local cinema enjoying the latest movie. During the winter, she hosts
several junior hockey players, and an indeterminate number of tropical fish
live with her year-round. She makes her home in Cody, Wyoming.
