More Serious Than Most,
This review is from: Miss Henderson's Secret (Signet Regency Romance, Ae 8285) (Paperback)
Eden Henderson meets the Earl of Dudley when searching for her runaway pupil, Isabella. Isabella wants to escape an arranged marriage and Miss Henderson has been fired from her position as governess so the Earl decides to help them out of their predicaments. He takes them to London and settles Isabella with her grandmother and Miss Henderson as a governess in the home of his friends.
The Earl of Dudley falls in love with the governess, Miss Henderson, and though he is sure she returns his regard, she will not marry him. Miss Henderson does indeed love the Earl but has a secret, which she will not reveal to anyone, that prevents her from marrying him. This book starts out light-hearted and fun, but as Miss Henderson's secret is slowly revealed it becomes more serious and dark. There is a lot of discussion throughout the book regarding women's rights, the value of marriage, and general social reform. The "bad guys" are very evil and their actions made me a bit uncomfortable at times. I truly wanted the Earl and Miss Henderson to end up together, but if seemed to take an awfully long time for it to happen. This book was enjoyable and well written but was more serious than most other Regencies I have read. If you are looking for a light and fluffy Regency you might want to wait and read this one when you are in a more serious frame of mind.
