Review
"There’s plenty of intrigue, romance, and danger in this story."--Brio
From the Back Cover
Rachel is an unwilling partner in deception, and only a miracle can set her free.
Rachel Jones is at the mercy of two Victorian con artists: the vicious Gerald Moore and his beautiful accomplice, Corrine Hammond. Taken from an orphanage as a young girl, Rachel is a servant to these two high-class swindlers. Now Gerald and Corrine have a new target: wealthy recluse Adam Burke. But when Rachel meets Lord Burke, her heart--and her life--is thrown into jeopardy. How can she let Gerald and Corrine ruin the life of this noble man?
As Rachel discovers a heart connection with Adam that she never imagined possible, she faces a terrible choice. If she wants to save him, she must sacrifice everything...possibly even her life.

Solid pick with good spiritual qualities, engrossing,
By johnsons@ite.net Lesley Johnson (Barrigada, Guam) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Like a River Glorious (Victorian Serenade #1) (Paperback)
Very good character development. I prefer her now over Lori Wick. Keeps me engrossed with an exciting plot and unpredictable endings. Not like Francine Rivers, but with her different style, she ranks at the top of her class.

This review is from: Like a River Glorious (Victorian Serenade #1) (Paperback)
Rachel is a wonderful charactor. She doesn't like what she's doing and she was told that if she doesn't do what Gerald or Corrine say they would put her in jail. Gerald and Corrine were con artists who prey among the rich people and by Corrine's lies they extort money from rich people. Then they met Adam with scars from his days as a British soldier. Rachel and Adam fall in love and there is a great ending. You have to read this one

not her best work but still a fun read,
By Heyerfan (Georgia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Like a River Glorious (Victorian Serenade #1) (Paperback)
As far as I know this is Lawana Blackwell's first novel. She does a pretty good job. This first book tends to lean towards the stereotypical romance novel, though. The characters follow the usual pattern for romance novels. The character development is low. But luckily, Lawana Blackwell gets better with each novel she writes. I particularly like her Gresham Series. Good work, Lawana.
