Lady Sarah's Son (Harlequin Historicals #483)

Rating:
Summary: Good writing here, but...
Review: Man, I HATED that kid, Drew. His speeches (and that's what they are, and from a child!) are just way too advanced for such a young boy; even in 1815 or thereabouts...That unrealistic boy definitely subtracted a full star.

As to the story itself, and the quality of its writing; it's good, but, (there's that but again) this reader was a little annoyed with Sarah's not confessing to Julian that Drew is really her sister's son. After all, he is her beloved fiance; surely he would have understood her sister's predicament and helped her from the get-go. Didn't she THINK she would break Julian's heart by dumping him that way (letting him think there was another man in her life while he's off fighting Napoleon?) Frankly, I think that's more important than saving her dead sister's reputation.

I had the impression that she thought she could make it "all right" just too damn easily, by rescuing Julian from financial ruin with her money. To be fair to the author, she really makes Sarah wait for Julian to forgive her. So, minus a star for the sappy and somewhat cruel plot point, but half a star back for Julian's reaction to it...All in all, I think it's fair to rate this one 3 stars; it's good, but not great, and somewhat illogical in parts!

Summary: A great book!
Review: This was my second Gayle Wilson book, I'm so glad I found this author! You will love the story, its so different then your typical romance. And that sweet little blue eyed Drew, I wanted to keep him myself! If you can find this one, grab it!
