Customer Reviews

Amusing *and* intelligent

This book charmed me from the first page. Gavan and Priscilla's battle for love kept me smiling right along while the twists and turns kept me riveted. Highly recommended.

It's a wonderful book!

I read MY LORD DESTINY over Christmas and just loved it. What a wonderful, tender, romantic, heart-warming tale! It's also full of humor. I highly recommend it as a cure for those after-holiday blues.

Eve Byron always entertains

Whenever I buy an Eve Byron book, I know I'll have an enjoyable, entertaining read. My Lord Destiny is Byron at her best, in my opinion.P.S. I can't understand what the reviewer, Bluestocking, is referring to in saying Ms. Byron is not historically accurate. I'm not a historian, but from my reading experience, Byron knows her history and is seldom wrong in her historic detail.

Ev e Byron is one good storyteller

In 1820 Wales, Gavan St. Cloud, the wealthy Marquess of Penwyth allows William Whitmore to search some mounds on his estate. Gavan's sister Gwyneth accompanies William on his excavation. They find a book that William and Gwyneth want to take to London. Willing to do anything to make Gwyneth happy, Gavan agrees to accompany them to the big city. He even thinks he might spend a minute or two to find a wife so he can have an heir, but expects no one to love the isolated St. Aldan.Gavan soon meets William,s eccentric sister Priscilla, owner of a millinery shoppe. To his surprise, he finds himself very attracted to the woman, but she not only ignores his flirting, she treats him with scorn. Inside her heart, Priscilla realizes she is half way in love with the handsome Welshman, but she was burned once before. However, a legend surfaces that forces Gavan to risk everything to save the lives of his beloved sibling, her beau and his cherished Priscilla.MY LORD DESTINY combines humor with suspense in a well-written Regency romance. The odd traits of the lead cast make for amusing interplay even as danger mounts. The addition of a Welsh legend provides a feel of mysticism to the overall plot. The secondary coupling of the lead characters, siblings add warmth and jocularity to the tale. Still, what makes Eve Byron,s novel so delightful is the entertaining relationship between Gavan and Priscilla.Harriet Klausner
