About Adam

This book is another in the series of Mayfair Square books. In this one Adam and Desiree FINALLY have their romance. It is not a book that will make you think but their love is true and I loved hearing their story after so much previous build-up in the previous Mayfair Square books. It was a sweet book with a lot of sub-plot. I definitely recommend it- but you might want to start with the earlier books so you can get the backstory.

Nothing would make codgerly old ghost Sir Septimus Spivey happier than for Adam Chillworth and Princess Desirree to admit their mutual love for one another, and hopefully move out of his house where they are borders. He just can not stand to have the living clunking around it.However, several factors stand in the way. Adam is convinced that he is far too old and experienced to be a fit match for Desirree, not only that, but he is not royal, and the head of her family wants her match to be at least her equal. Then, there is the fact that there is a secret hidden in Adam's past that now poses a danger to the potential lovers. None of this matters to the Princess. She is determined to have the man she loves, and has a plan to reach her goal. ***** With a charming mix of elements that have been long perfected by Christina Skye and Diana Palmer, Ms. Cameron returns readers to what has surely become a beloved series. The main fault is that I would like to have the cantankerous ghost have a bit more of an active role. He is a treat in and of himself. *****

In About Adam, Stella Cameron invites us to 1820's London for another visit to Mayfair Square. The late Sir Septimus Spivey is kind enough to bring both returning and new visitors up to date on the current inhabitants and former residents of #7.Although she is only 20, Princess Desiree has been in love with Adam Chillworth for years. While Adam has similar feelings for Desiree, he has dismissed hers as the crush of a young girl. After all, not only is he several years her senior, they are also so far apart in social status that the chasm my be impossible to cross. Princess Desiree's brother, Jean-Marc, Count Etranger, plans to make a match for her that will be advantageous for the family. Although Adam is a successful painter, he is not at all what Jean-Marc has in mind for his sister. But Desiree knows her own mind and heart. She loves Adam, and she plans to get him. With the help of Spivey (the resident ghost with an agenda of his own) and a host of matchmaking friends, it should be no trouble at all. Unfortunately, someone doesn't want Adam and Princess Desiree together, and may stop at nothing to keep them apart. Desiree and Adam must band together to overcome danger.Stella combines suspense, humor and emotion with a wonderful plot and characters. You won't want to leave #7 Mayfair Square!

About Adam is a wonderful story. When I started reading it, I kept saying to myself, poor, poor Adam. Adam Chillworth is a painter, a deep, brooding man who is in love with a woman that he can never have. Princess Desiree is a young woman who can never have the man she loves so very much. No worries, though. Just as there are forces trying to drive them apart, there are forces pushing them together. Adam is an honorable man, one who thinks to protect Desiree, if if from himself, as he feels he is not good enough for her. This is a story of drama, passion and intrigue, done in such a manner to keep the pages turning very quickly. Let's not forget about the humor! About Adam is the next in the Mayfair Square series. I'd say pick them all up, as you will not regret it. Robin Taylor
