Overview

Brentan Montgomery, Earl of Charfield has one love - his stable of Arabian horses. When he is offered breeding rights to the Marquess of Fellingsdown’s prize Arabian, El Solidar, if for two weeks he acts as companion to Fellingsdown’s sister, he doesn’t care if the reclusive Lady Elyssa has three chins and a dozen hairy moles, the prize at the end is worth anything he has to endure. But when he meets the elusive Lady Elyssa Prescott, all thoughts of gaining a prize Arabian colt disappear. He realizes he’s met the woman of his dreams - if only he can keep her from discovering the deceit that brought them together and convince her that her imperfections don’t matter to him.

Lady Elyssa Prescott knows what it’s like to be ridiculed and shunned. But when Brent Montgomery lets her glimpse a world where her limitations aren’t important, she believes it’s possible for her dreams to become a reality. Until she discovers the man with whom she’s fallen in love was ‘hired’ to offer her everything she’s always dreamed of having.

The cruel reality of a love built on deceit shatters both their dreams and threatens to destroy their lives forever.

    Highly Recommended - rich characters, compelling story!

    Laura Landon has woven a gripping story of four vibrant souls...worthy of loving and being loved...yet each finding himself - or herself - picking up the pieces of a shattered dream. The compassion for one another is genuine as they each play a part in one anothers' healing. Not many authors can bind four such strong characters into a well-paced page-turner. Not so with Laura Landon! This Victorian historical is a charmingly satisfying read!

    Hard to Explain Read

    The story in this book was actually really good and the author pulled me into it quick. I loved that heroine was different than most heroines in that she had a physical impairment. The hero was very noble and good. The side stories of the other characters were also great. The only thing that ruined it for me was the last few chapters of it. I just hoped that the characters would do things in the right order.

    Awesome romance with a touch of mystery and suspense! Loved it!

    Since I received my Nook Color last Christmas, I've added a little over 70 books to my collection and a lot of it is historical romance. This is by far one of the best in that department. Lady Elyssa is so much more than her disability. Brent and Elly's story is very touching. Although Elly has tested herself and beat the odds, she knows her place in society and knows that no one would give her a thought as far as becoming a bride. Brent is like the bachelor of the year. Everyone wants him even though he's known as a rake, but he wants to fall in love. His parents didn't set a good example so he's been guarding his heart until the walls come crashing down when he meets Elly in a 'personal' horse race.

    Not only do you get Elly's story, you also get the story of her brother Harrison and Cassie, his ex-fiance. No one knows why Cassie turned away from Harrison when they seemed to be so in love. He was crushed when she up and married someone else. This is part of the mystery as well as the suspense based on the person who is trying to keep Harrison and Cassie apart.

    I thought the story was really good. I loved Brent and how he is with Elyssa. I loved the two stories and the mystery and of course the happy ending. I just wished the love scene was a bit longer...Will be looking for more of her books.

    Pretty Good

    I found the family dynamic very interesting. The characters were all very likable. The plot was nice and predictable. However, the sub plot seemed to overshadow the main one instead of enhancing the overall story. It's a good, light read, even though it's not a memorable one.

    Interesting permise, only OK story

    Elly has a handicap that isn't apparent to Brent when first meeting her. He finds himself at a houseparty where he has to entertain a sister of a friend, and guess who it is. The story revolves around their relationship, but eventually there is a misunderstanding.....that dreaded "misunderstanding" trope. Good read for $.99 though.

    Timeless!

    A friend is offered a colt of a valuable horse to accompany his younger sister during a two week party at their estate. A paid favor turns to love in this beautiful tale of love conquering all. I loved it.

    Very Good Romance, give it a try.

    This the second book by Laura Landon I've read. I enjoyed this one because she used a character that was not physically perfect. Also there were two story lines going in the book. Good book.
