My Opinion

For the first book I have read by Sara Blayne, I found this one to be enjoyable and worth reading. I will definitely try some more of her books. Johanna Lindsey will always be my favorite, for her versatility and writing style. But Blayne was good at keeping me interested without making me want to skip some lines get through the book. A different book to read. Enjoy!

A Fallen Woman refuses a duke's offer of marriage.

Althea Wintergreen is used to being treated as a social outcast. She really doesn't care what Society thinks of her--all she wants is to be a good mother to her daughter Effie and to continue tinkering with her inventions. But when the handsome and wealthy Duke of Treherne offers to marry her, she suggests being his mistress instead. After all, he doesn't deserve the notoriety that would come with marrying a Scandalous Woman like her.The Duke of Treherne needs a wife in order to set up his nursery. He wants Althea. He knows she is not what she seems, but something is preventing her from confiding in him. Society's strictures don't mean a thing to him; after all, his own mother ran off with an actor and deserted her family when he was eight, and his father died in a duel over his longtime mistress when he was twelve. But Althea won't even consider his proposal. . . until someone suddenly tries to kidnap Effie. Now Althea desperately needs his help to protect her beloved daughter from harm.This book reminds me of Amanda Quick at her best: an intelligent, sensible, independent heroine with an honorable, determined, protective hero...and a mystery to be solved before everyone can live happily ever after. I just couldn't stop reading!To the publisher: PLEASE don't print so close to the inner edge. Some pages were nearly impossible to read, and when I was done the spine was practically ruined. . .not a good thing when you want to keep a book to read over and over again.
