Description

Linley Talbot-Martin is a girl who likes to get her hands dirty. As the daughter of a famous archaeologist, she's been everywhere and seen everything—except London. But when the time comes to trade her jodhpurs and work boots for silk gowns and kid gloves, she may be in over her head.

Even though she can out-ride, out-shoot, and outsmart any girl in London society, Linley is destined to be the failure of the season. No one she meets cares about ancient pottery or lost Buddhist texts, and fundraising efforts for future expeditions keep coming up short. If the Talbot-Martin team doesn't find money soon, they will be out of a job, and Linley will lose everything she holds dear.

Patrick Wolford, Marquess of Kyre (pronounced 'Keer'), is a man who knows his place. Well-connected and respected, he is everything everyone expects him to be, but beneath his façade, he is as neglected and crumbling as the family estate. Now the strain of keeping up appearances is taking its toll. The smart thing would be to marry the heiress nipping at his heels and be done with it, but when he meets Linley Talbot-Martin, who dares to shake up his seemingly proper world, he must choose between the life he's always known and one he never dared to dream of.

    The first half was great! I really enjoyed it. The second half…. I couldn’t finish. This story would have been better if it had ended where it was still entertaining.
  • Great story line

    This book was better than I expected it to be. A romance novel is usually standard girl meets boy, something happens in between, then they fall in love. This book has lots of things happen in between and even the beginning is not typical. A great read with lots of action and surprise. Not your typical romance novel, but in a better way.

    Some aspects of this were great and it’s pretty unique but the story wasn’t realistic or believable. Mostly I didn’t like the end at all. It was a happy ending and then the epilogue messed it up. Plus there’s an unresolved issue of whether artifacts were stolen from Monks.

    In three places I found grammar mistakes that I have never seen in my life of reading. All three were pronoun errors like “between you and I”. It should be “between you and me”. “between” is a preposition and requires its objects to be in the objective case. “I” is used for subjects. An editor should have caught these mistakes. I’m 71 and have never seen this type of error in published writing.
  • Too long

    Not one of the best romance novels that I have read. Too many unbelievable events.

    Wow! Yes this story was absolutely wonderful. I feel like I have been on an African safari a . Struggling thru the forest with them and then reaching Himalayans. Oh my what an adventure this was.

    I love how this book was written. What a beautiful story of friendship, jealousy, love and loss. How certain things in life really shouldn't matter and those that do are what you should live your life by.

    What a fun book! I love being transported to another place in history! I felt immersed in the characters; empathetic. I want more, and lucky for me this is the first one in a series.

    The main characters are not likable in the least and the story is not interesting enough to make up for it. I respect the authors attempt to create something different but with characters like this I will be lucky if I can make it through the last bit of this book without giving up.

    I wanted to care about the main characters, but they were not very likable. Their interaction left a lot to be desired. It won't break my heart if I never find out more of their story/stories.
  • Really good read

    A beautiful story of two people whose love evolves during a trek thru India. Loved the characters. Want to continue with the next story of Patrick and Linley.
  • Surprisingly good

    Linley and Patrick are an odd pair but delightful. I really liked the story and the twist and turns. I would recommend it. And it's free :)
  • A solid romance

    This was a good read featuring a plucky heroine and her charming love interest as they fall in love and travel to far off places. The unlikely couple is obviously destined to be together, but the how is pretty entertaining with touches of adventure as illness and the harsh traveling conditions threaten their very survival. Recommended for fans of historical romance set in the years before the First World War.
  • Very good read

    I enjoyed the story of Patrick and Linley very much. I haven't read many books in the time period and enjoyed it immensely. Good job!!
  • True love...

    The first half of this book was utterly enjoyable. I loved the interaction between Patrick and Linley. This book is definitely different than other historical romance novels. This is a series starter so you don't get a happy ending but there are so many good parts of this book you end it satisfied.
  • Very entertaining and interesting.

    Loved the details, love the characters. Would have liked more depth to the other men, but maybe that's another book. Looking forward to reading about this couple more. Like that Linley is devoted to her father and his career, but she needs her own life too.
