This review is from: The Azure Castle (A Candlelight Regency #204) (Paperback)
Another scarred hero saves our sweet neglected maiden. This tale takes place in Portugal. I love that Janette Radcliffe places her characters outside of England. She describes the locales so wonderfully and it is a great change of pace.
Claire Stanhope is ignored by her father and kept hiding in the wings by her lovely older sister Gloriana. Since their father wants to continue his bachelor existence, he hopes to marry them both off - the sooner the better. Gloriana is courted by some very eligible men and has set her mind to catch Luis de Valente. He is handsome and wealthy but has managed to elude matrimony. Claire catches his eyes and he thinks she would make his younger brother a suitable wife. But, when Claire's father decides to wed her to an older man who she thoroughly dislikes, Luis finds her in tears and comes up with a solution. She will pose as his fiancé, stay in his home for the summer and protect him from marriage minded misses! She agrees - and comes to his lovely blue tiled home (azure) - meets his family and falls in love with Luis - even knowing the engagement will end with summer. Gloriana appears at the castle along with other unwanted company and turns out to be a horrible jealous villain. How will this all sort out? Will Luis save Claire for his brother ... or will his heart find a woman worthy of loving? This short Candlelight Regency packed a lot of adventure and love in its few pages. Recommend for quick reading; typical 70's Regency.
