Words of Love

The plot of a lost heir being summoned back to England in order to inherit a title and estates may not be new but Donna Bell has made it new again. Lady Hetty, daughter and sister of dukes has gone her own way for years. As Miss Thompson she teaches the children of rich merchants how to behave in society as well as reading and writing. Then her most challenging pupil ever arrives. Jared Winter was the son of the younger son of a marquess, who had married beneath him and then traveled to America. Can Hetty turn him into a lord so he can take his place in London's society? Both character's were fully developed and you laugh with them and worry with them as they travel the rocky path to love. I laughed out loud at Jared's attempts to play the bumbling backwoodsman. There are plenty of obstacles for the lovers to overcome but overcome them, they do with the assistance of butlers, maids, valets and a trio of Bow Street Runners. You'll want to give yourself plenty of time to sit down and read Words of Love all the way through. It's too good to set aside. And when you do finish it, you're left with that warm satisfying feeling of having enjoyed the work of a writer who loves the characters she creates.
