A Sweet and Swoony Regency Romance
After years of escaping etiquette lessons in favor of the stables, Christine Devons grand debut in London is only weeks away, though her deportment lacks the sophisticated polish she needs to achieve her goals of a lofty marriage. Desperate to take her place in society, she needs someone to instruct her in proper behavior.
Thomas Gilbert, newly returned from Italy, is ready to begin his dream of founding a horse farm. But during his time away, the estates finances have dwindled to almost nothing. Unless he can find a way to save his family from ruin, he will be forced to sell his horses and give up his dreams entirely.
A chance meeting between them may solve both their problems. Christine gains a tutor in the finer arts of polite behavior, while Thomas is given access to the finest bloodlines in England. But as time passes, the arrangement is less about business, and more about love. Will they see it in time, or will Christine leave Thomas behind for the splendor of Londons ballrooms?
**
Christine is painfully naive and awkward, but written so well that you can't help but love her. Sally did a marvelous job of having Christine and Thomas grow together in both their love and their maturity, showing well developed characters.
She also presented a wonderful juxtaposition between the two families. One where love was encouraged and freely given and one where family was an investment you expected a return on. This latter idea was not uncommon during this era and I appreciated how realistically harsh Sally was about familial ideas of the time. While pushing that next to the growing idea that people are more than a business transaction and given love will give a greater return.
