Horatio Tallwood-Smythe, the new Lord
Wentworth, must marry to secure his new title and his fortune. Horatio
also inherits two young female charges, which he has no idea what to do with on his own. Horatio hires his solicitor, Spoon, to advertise for a wife for him,
one who must be strong, respected and be prepared to take on the responsibilities of his
young charges. Horatio is confident that it won’t take long
to find a wife and has the future mapped out as such that, he will continue on with his
life as usual.
When
Horatio encounters a young woman traveling alone, he is perplexed at her independence, her
sass and everything about her. Lady Bountiful, as Horatio thinks
of her, is like no woman he has ever known and he is intrigued by her. When
Lady Bountiful suffers a sprained ankle while walking, Horatio takes care of her and takes
her to the home of his friend, only to discover that it was the lady’s intended
destination to begin with.
Anabel
Satterley and Horatio soon find themselves the project for matchmakers. Their
friends and entourage set out to bring Anabel and Horatio together, solving all of their
problems. But are Anabel and Horatio a perfect match?
Can they overcome the obstacles in their path to happiness?
NEVER
LET ME GO by Joan M. Fox is positively delightful. This is a fun,
fast-paced read that entertains, keeps one riveted and smiling over the antics of Horatio
and Anabel’s friends and sighing with the pleasure of true love. Ms.
Fox depicts the Regency Era with accuracy and class. NEVER LET ME
GO is wonderful from start to finish and one that readers should not miss.
It is wonderfully written and draws the reader in. A
wonderful addition to one’s library.
