4.0 out of 5 stars
fun Regency romance,
This review is from: With Eyes of Love (Mass Market Paperback)
Elspeth Quinn prefers not to be the recipient of her Aunt Betina's kindness as she knows that her relative detests her and her mother, the embarrassing poor relations. Still, her widowed mom feels a season would be good for her daughter so the protesting Elspeth travels to Bath to join her dazzling cousin Caroline as the frumpy charity case.Julian Thorne is considered the prime meat of the season by both the husband seekers and their mamas though he prefers rustication rather than Assembly rooms. The betting line says Caroline is the odds on favorite to reel him in as her spouse. So whey does he spend so much time with the poor cousin kissing her and making Elspeth's heart pound? Elspeth cannot believe he desires her above all and her odious Aunt warns her of being an ingrate making Julian's quest that much harder. Though readers will wonder why the pretty wealthy debutantes set their eyes on Julian, he is a wonderful lead character who knows what he wants and goes about trying to achieve his heart's desire. Elspeth is the mouse that roars so that the audience will adore her. Her relatives are slimy snobs who offer nothing redeeming. Fans of a simplistic but fun Regency romance will appreciate Corey McFadden's tale. Harriet Klausner

Tender love story,
By A Customer
This review is from: With Eyes of Love (Mass Market Paperback)
Living outside London which is known as the coming out season, has always been a way of life for poor Elsepth Quinn. At twenty-three she was called the spinster by her rich relatives. They never have contact with her because they are embarrassed by her country looks and outspoken manner. So imagine her surprise when her mother receives a letter in the mail inviting her to participate in the Bath. Elsepth declines the offer several times. She doesn't understand why her relatives want her around now when they have considered her beneath them for years. What has changed now? But after pleas from her mom Elsepth decides to go. Caroline Quinn, Elsepth Quinn's younger, more beautiful cousin can't wait for Elsepth to arrive in England. Caroline knows her beauty will out shine her cousin's plain country looks and ways. She is determined to marry the wealthy and handsome Julian Thorpe. Elsepth attending the Bath fits perfectly into Caroline's plans. Julian Thorpe dislikes the Bath. He would rather stay in the country and relax. But as a favor to a friend he agrees to attend. He just hopes he doesn't run into Caroline Quinn. She has been a thorn in his side for years and Julian knows his wealth is the only reason Caroline wants to marry him. Will Caroline's plan finally work so she can marry Julian Thorpe? Or will Julian and Elsepth look at each other with eyes of love? A historical reader's dream, WITH THE EYES OF LOVE is the perfect English Regency romance. It's a funny, interesting and tender love story. A reader can relate to the realistic characters. Elsepth';s struggle between wanting to be her own person and still finding love with Julian is wonderful. I enjoyed the different emotions each character went through. Elsepth changed from being a woman who thought she was just meant to live in the country and stay a spinster the rest of her life. To a woman who found love in the one place she never thought it would happen. She also learned to listen to her heart.
