The Nabob's Daughter

okay, this may sound unbeleivable, but dawn lindsey also teaches....high school honors english and creative writing. i know this personally; i was a student of hers. i had this wonderful lady (who oddly enough, even in the coldest weather, never wore pants...) four times in four years and can't wait for her to autograph my book! yeah, it's a good story.

I don't normally read romance books, but my online boyfriend convinced me to. So I read it, not just because of his recommendation but because the cover excited me. From the moment I saw "nabob", I knew this was the book for me. I simply could not put it down. I started reading at 10 in the morning on Monday and when I looked back up it was Thursday afternoon. Don't eat, don't sleep, simply spend your whole life on this book. I even bought the CD-ROM interactive game, which provided hours of amusement.

Jamaican by birth, Anjalie is a wealthy heiress visiting relatives in London. After her success in the ton, she could easily make an advantageous marriage, but, scornful of the fortune-hunting beaus who surround her and the superficial lifestyle of the English upper class, she wants only to return to life in Jamaica.The oh-so-proper Lord Chance is scandalized by Anjalie's plain speaking and shocking attitudes. She should not even KNOW about the seamier side of life, let alone go around rescuing lightskirts from rakes and talking about drunken pirates! But, oddly enough, he finds himself drawn to her outspoken manner and lack of pretension. For the first time in his life he begins to question his own lifestyle and beliefs. But when he believes that she encouraged his sister to run away to Jamaica to join her disgraced "fiancé," he is ready to wring her neck. It is only when Anjalie and the earl are shipwrecked in the wilds of Jamaica that the two begin to truly understand and appreciate each other.Since Regencies with headstrong, independent heroines have always appealed to me, I found myself glued to the pages of "The Nabob's Daughter." In the beginning, the hero seemed a bit stuffy and overly critical, but the trek through the jungle caused him to realize the relative worthlessness of most of the London society's strictures and appreciate the more important things in life. And although life with Anjalie would never be peaceful, it is obvious that it could never be boring!
