Lady Carberry is the last person the Marquis of Mullineaux wants to see upon his return to England. By breaking off their engagement years ago, she created a scandal in the ton. She is no more happy to see him, since he sacrificed her reputation to save his pride. Now circumstances have thrown them together again. They've shared a past, but what about a future?
This a stylish and enjoyable debut Regency. I have read all Ms. Cornick's books and what I like about them is their originality in such a popular genre. Perhaps TRUE COLOURS a little over-written in places - every noun seems to have at least one accompanying adjective - but this could be put down to the author's inexperience. The plot is exciting and the characters engaging. Ms Cornick is a fresh and welcome addition to the Regency writing scene.
THIS IS DEFINITELY A KEEPER!
