If you're looking for a clean, Christian, inspirational romance set in Regency England, this book definitely delivers.I've been following Ms. McColl's career since her first book, and each that followed has shown improvement. This one takes a dramatic leap forward with deeper characters and an excellent understanding of the grieving process, moving towards recovery.This is a short read. I completed it in under an hour, and -- for a lunchtime read -- it's uplifting and shares a strong message about the power of faith and trust in God.Regency purists may find a few historical anachronisms jarring. However, that shouldn't deter most regency romance enthusiasts from reading -- and benefiting from -- the faith-based inspiration of this romantic tale.Expect a light and heartwarming read, and you won't be disappointed. Charity McColl is fast becoming an author to watch, particularly if you're looking for clean, Christian, inspirational stories.
This book was written by a new author for me. I have to say I loved it and I can’t wait to read more of her books! This is a story about a wealthy and titled playboy that has no sense, just like so many of them in this modern day. His playing and trying to gather attention leads to him being paralyzed. In the era of this story, medicine is mostly guess work so the doctors have no way of knowing if his condition is permanent or not. One young, non-titled, woman works in the hospital and prays for him as well as becomes his nurse. Despite his anger and verbal abuse, she refuses to give up on him, even when he accidentally slapped her. That was the beginning of his hard work to once again be “normal”. Once he can function like he used to do; he tried to go back to his “old” life, only to realize HE had changed and no longer wanted to live that way. Was it too late for a good match with a non-titled woman? Would he go back to the spoiled little rich girl he was engaged to before his accident? The Lord began working with his father to learn the business; but, could he forget his beautiful nurse? This book both broke my heart as well as brought joy to me. I am definitely looking forward to more books by this author and recommend this book to all age groups.
The book is, how does one say, not poorly written, but not well written, either. The dialogue, however, is horrid. The characters are flat at best. The "hero" is uninteresting and the heroine is unbelievable. There is absolutely no back story to connect the reader the the lives of the characters. The "hero's" accident simply wasn't enough to do that.Yes, it is clean, something I prefer over torrid sex which also seems pointless, but that doesn't redeem it.This was the second I tried by the author. I won't do that again.
Lord Byron Whittaker was always looking for thrills. He loved to ride horses and was very good at winning in the races. He was to marry Sophia who was the choice of his parents not his. When he is injured in a race and is paralysed from his neck down, Sophia deserts him after a very short time. His nurse Cecilia has more faith in his getting well even thou the doctors have given no hope first urchin to recover. This injury brought these two people together and she prayed for him always her prayer was for Byron to have a complete recovery. You need to read this book to see what happens when you pray with faith believing in the answer.
I enjoyed this book. Some say that there is a surprise ending but I knew what would happen the minute she was introduced to the story line. I loved the spiritual line of the story and wished for more of it. I was not very fond of either Lord Byron or Lady Sophia but of the two, I liked Lady Sophia better. He talked of love and loyalty, yet he was cheating. He even wished Lady Sophia dead so he would not have to marry her. Not because she was horrible (self centered yes but not horrible) but because she was not feeding his ego. I could see that things would go bad for him for a while when he stated those words of her death. I am glad that he was redeemable but the writer should have made him work harder for Cecilia. I am still not sure he deserved her. I would also like to read a story about Lady Sophia's happily ever after.
I really love clean, sweet regency romances. I tried with this one...I really did. Writing a novella or a short story does not exempt an author from doing their historical research. In 1828, Florence Nightingale was 8 years old. Therefore, it would be many years before nursing became a respectable profession staffed by trained nurses and not prostitutes. This could have been fleshed out to be an enjoyable romance, but the language was simplistic and the characterization was nonexistent.
A clean short story that was worth staying up late to read. Too short to get really involved with the characters, yet I still loved them. Cecilia showed immense strength by putting up with Byron for all he said and did. Plus her faith helped her believe that he would live and walk again! Not an extreme overtone of religion, just a touch here and there about prayer. Really liked the book!Patti Wissore
