This review is from: Nicola and the Viscount (Mass Market Paperback)

It's 1810, and sixteen-year-old orphan Nicola Sparks has just finished her schooling at a young ladies' academy. Now she's ready for her first London season. In fact, she's already picked the young man she hopes will ask her to marry him: Lord Sebastian Bartholomew, a viscount who will inherit his father's title of earl. Nicola is invited to stay with the Bartholomews, and eagerly accepts the invitation. And it seems like a dream come true when Lord Sebastian proposes marriage. But Nathaniel Sheridan, the infuriating older brother of Nicola's best friend, Eleanor, causes Nicola to question Lord Sebastian's true motives in asking her to marry him. Soon Nicola begins to wonder if it's really Lord Sebastian she loves, and not someone she's been overlooking all along. I highly recommend this new book from the Avon True Romance series. Meg Cabot is a wonderful author of contemporary and supernatural stories for teens, and I'm happy to say she's just as good at writing a historical romance for young adults.

This review is from: Nicola and the Viscount (Mass Market Paperback)

Sixteen-year-old Nicola Sparks, an orphan after her parents both drowned in an accident, is now finally ready for her first London Season. There is one thing that Nicola doesn't have to worry about though, and that is chosing a husband. After attracting the Viscount Lord Sebastian Bartholomew's attention at one of her school performances, she has been invited to his house, and Nicola gets her dream, he has proposed to her. Unfortunately, besides poetry, the two have little conversation, but Nicola is still very sure that this marriage was meant to happen, until the young infruiating Nathaniel Sheridan, the brother of Eleanor, Nicola's best friend, begins questioning why the Viscount truly wants to marry Nicola. Nicola is sure Nathaniel is just saying nonsense, until she begins to pick the pieces of the puzzle up by herself. Soon it isn't just a question of the Viscount's integrity, but who Nicola truly loves as well. This was another wonderful addition to the Avon True Romance series. Meg Cabot has always been a wonderful romance writer for teens and adults and this book is no exception.

This review is from: Nicola and the Viscount (Mass Market Paperback)

It's the year 1810, and Nicola Sparks, has just graduated from Madame Vieuxvincent's. She's now moving in with the Bartholomew's to get ready for her first London Season. The Bartholomew's are awfully kind to her, and Nicola is in love with the God (aka Lord Sebastian Bartholomew), though he doesn't know it, at least that's what Nicola thinks. But suddenly she is engaged to the God, and planning their wedding. Until she discovers that he doesn't really love her, he just wants to get her to sell Beckwell Abby, a home that her father left her. Soon she realizes she was wrong about who loved her, and soon finds herself falling for someone else. Someone she's known for a very long time.

Meg Cabot has another hit with "Nicola and the Viscount." Her characters are strong and original, and the main plot mixes both mystery and romance into one. A must have for all fans of Meg Cabot, romance, or mystery.
