Book Description

February 24, 2009

Only a man with a mysterious past could tempt the Countess from the Isle of Ice . . .

Twice jilted, Grace Sheffey has given up on love. No longer capable of maintaining her elegant facade with her intimate circle of friends, she has little choice but to flee . . . right into the teeth of a blizzard. But when her wretched carriage ride ends in disaster, a rugged, imposing stranger is waiting to save her life . . . and her heart.

Michael Ranier is a man of many secrets—secrets that could place the countess in terrible danger. But concealed in the wilds of Yorkshire, he can't help but unleash her hidden reserves of desire and fortitude—and challenge her to blossom into the woman she was destined to become . . . a lady willing to sacrifice all to find love with the perfect scoundrel.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

After two disastrous engagements in which both her fiancés jilted her for other women, Grace Sheffield tried to reinvent herself socially and failed miserably. This left Grace no other choice (or so she thought) but to flee London and the gossip-fueled ton. Grace’s journey to a quiet new life of social obscurity in Scotland ends quickly, though, when an unexpected blizzard and a carriage accident leave her stranded in the Yorkshire countryside. Fortunately, before she can completely freeze to death, Grace is rescued by Michael Rainer, a former blacksmith who had recently inherited a nearby farm. Stranded at Michael’s farm, Grace not only discovers new skills she never knew she had, but she also finds herself slowly and irrevocably falling in love with Michael. Nash deftly infuses the superbly crafted, deliciously sensual romance between Grace and Michael with a generous soupçon of subtle wit, and the latest irresistible addition to her Wicked Widows historical Regency series is an exquisitely emotional, perfectly satisfying romance.

About the Author

Sophia Nash was born in Switzerland and raised in France and the United States, but says her heart resides in Regency England. Her ancestor, an infamous French admiral who traded epic cannon fire with the British Royal Navy, is surely turning in his grave.

Before pursuing her long-held dream of writing, Sophia was an award-winning television producer for a CBS affiliate, a congressional speechwriter, and a nonprofit CEO. She lives in the Washington, D.C., suburbs with her husband and two children.

Sophia's novels have won twelve national awards, including the prestigious RITA® Award, and two spots on Booklist's "Top Ten Romances of the Year."

5.0 out of 5 stars Builds slow, but excellent. Third in Widows' Club series., March 6, 2009
This review is from: Love with the Perfect Scoundrel (Widows Club, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Grace Sheffey, Countess of Sheffield, is a widow at the young age of only twenty-seven. In the past twelve months she has been jilted by two fiancés and London's upper elite are having a delightful time chewing up and pitting out her reputation. No longer capable of holding her head up high or maintaining an unconcerned image, she flees London. Grace intended to return to the Isle of Mann, where she spent her childhood. Instead she found herself stuck in a blizzard when the carriage tipped over. Her driver and traveling companion go for help. It is only then Grace realizes she is injured, losing blood, and quickly freezing to death.

Michael Ranier has been a fugitive for years. He spent those years in the colonies (Virginia). He returned to England because he inherited property from a friend. En route to his new property (Brynlow) he found an angel dying in the blizzard. While tending to her injuries, with the help of a lad named Timmy, he does the worst thing possible - he fell in love with her. Too bad he could not possibly keep her.

***** I learned years ago that whenever I intend to begin a story written by Sophia Nash that I had better make sure the pizza has already been delivered. Otherwise the members of my family will have to eat cold cereal or sandwiches. This tale is no exception. The author begins with a strong willed lady in distress and then the tender roots of romance begin. From there the author builds tension that only seems to increase with each page turned. Within these pages you will experience pure romance at its very best! *****

5.0 out of 5 stars " Love With The Perfect Scoundrel is sexy and sensual; a lush Historical Romance that sizzles off the page!" BCM, March 19, 2009
This review is from: Love with the Perfect Scoundrel (Widows Club, Book 3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Love With The Perfect Scoundrel had me at hello. Seriously though, I was instantly drawn into the story and enjoyed every single minute of it. I have read hundreds of Historical Romance novels from the Victorian era and I have to say that THIS book, is in my top 10! With a story and plot that is more creative then many I have read, the Author takes advantage of the weather, social strictures (or lack there of) and with a genuine humanity, creates the distressing and ultimately delicious situations that Grace and Michael find themselves in. I immediately felt the heart-pounding attraction between the main characters and this beautiful, sensual love story. Though it is set in the Victorian era, this story had a fresh feel that amused and entertained as much as it titillated. The Author has an exceptional talent for writing and her distinctive story writing talents will, if they have not already, set her apart from many of her peers. This delightful book left me with a big smile on my face and a light feeling in my heart. It is just what I have been waiting for; kudos to you Sophia Nash.
I very highly recommend this book!

(10 out of 10 Diamonds) - Absolutely LOVED it!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Dull, all done much better elsewhere, March 17, 2009
The Widow's Club was a rather trite idea in the first place, and it is even more flat in this tale. If you want dramatic rescues in snow storms, try Guardian of the Heart by Sorcha MacMurrough.
The hero and heroine in this novel are so dull that one appearance by the secondary characters she is using to set up a sequel is enough to distract us. Lack the lively and engaging aspect of Regency romances, and the love scenes, such as they are, left me as cold as the blizzard. Skip it!
