Book Description

October 1, 1999
He wasn't looking for a wife

Gavan St. Cloud, the Marquess of Penwyth, appeared in Priscilla Whitmore's millinery shoppe wanting only to purchase fripperies for his latest mistress. He never expected that his orderly world would be turned upside-down by a beautiful, blue-eyed temptress who treated his attentions with disdain. Until that moment, Gavan lived in an orderly world, where you married for love then found your pleasures elsewheredidn't Priscilla know what she was doing to him?

Priscilla knew full well what men-especially ones like Gavan-wanted from a woman, but that didn't mean she had to give in. True, the breathtakingly handsome aristocrat had ladylike Priss thinking is some very shocking ways. But she had been hurt before, and wasn't about to make the same mistake twice.

Yet neither realize they've been touched by magic-intoxicating, irresistibleand soon they're powerless to resist the passion growing between them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ev e Byron is one good storyteller, October 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: My Lord Destiny (Mass Market Paperback)
In 1820 Wales, Gavan St. Cloud, the wealthy Marquess of Penwyth allows William Whitmore to search some mounds on his estate. Gavan's sister Gwyneth accompanies William on his excavation. They find a book that William and Gwyneth want to take to London. Willing to do anything to make Gwyneth happy, Gavan agrees to accompany them to the big city. He even thinks he might spend a minute or two to find a wife so he can have an heir, but expects no one to love the isolated St. Aldan.

Gavan soon meets William,s eccentric sister Priscilla, owner of a millinery shoppe. To his surprise, he finds himself very attracted to the woman, but she not only ignores his flirting, she treats him with scorn. Inside her heart, Priscilla realizes she is half way in love with the handsome Welshman, but she was burned once before. However, a legend surfaces that forces Gavan to risk everything to save the lives of his beloved sibling, her beau and his cherished Priscilla.

MY LORD DESTINY combines humor with suspense in a well-written Regency romance. The odd traits of the lead cast make for amusing interplay even as danger mounts. The addition of a Welsh legend provides a feel of mysticism to the overall plot. The secondary coupling of the lead characters, siblings add warmth and jocularity to the tale. Still, what makes Eve Byron,s novel so delightful is the entertaining relationship between Gavan and Priscilla.

I read MY LORD DESTINY over Christmas and just loved it. What a wonderful, tender, romantic, heart-warming tale! It's also full of humor. I highly recommend it as a cure for those after-holiday blues.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable read - average love story., July 7, 2000
This review is from: My Lord Destiny (Mass Market Paperback)
The book had its funny moments, but it seemed fragmented at times. I agree with the other reviewer that the back of the book cover did not reflect the story at all. Although the characters are funny and exhibits interesting hobbies, the story did not seem to glue together. If you like light romance with a little bit of the mystical plot. This may be the book for you.
