A Prequel Novella to Forever Your Rogue
Raymond Travers is a Busy Man. The harried eldest son has a to-do list as long as his father's last bender, and his plans don't include spending Allhallowtide playing chaperone to a spirited debutante. But Raymond will do whatever it takes to secure a business deal with Lord Holland...including agreeing to keep the baron's daughter out of trouble at the harvest fair.
Unfortunately for Raymond, Rosalie Holland is not to be trifled with. A hopeless romantic and hellion-in-the-making, Rosie has impatiently waited all year for the return of Ian Renwood, the object of her girlhood fantasies. But at every turn, Rosalie's rebellious plans for Renwood are dashed by the sinfully handsome glower of a certain stoic chaperone.
Raymond and Rosalie have no choice but to grin and bear it through the harvest festival, a riotous romp of mysterious fortune-telling, shadowy bonfires, and ghostly abandoned mills. But as their own mischief and mayhem turns heated, a single day together might not be enough...
Based on two recommendations (see Top Ten: Regency Readers Recommendations for Autumn ) I grabbed this novella ready for the fall feels. And it didn’t disappoint, taking place largely over one day at a harvest festival.
It’s a sunshine heroine/grumpy hero forced proximity plot where she is trying to see the man she is convinced she is meant to marry, and he is just trying to broker a deal for a ditch. Even though they are next door neighbors, they haven’t seen each other in some time and the sparks start flying before too long.
This had lots of Autumn elements, including hints of magic and ghosts, a great romance even for a short book, a steamy scene, and little angst. Because of the intimate scene, which was very sexy, this is not for kisses only readers.
Thanks to Mara and PlotTrysts for recommending. I am passing along that recommendation, if you are short on time but looking for something with Autumn elements to get you ready for the Season. It just took a few hours to read, but was fun and satisfying read.
It is also a prequel to a full length novel, so if you want more of the characters you can read about them (albeit as supporting characters) again.
