Regency Romance with Substance Makes for an Enjoyable Read (With a Giveaway!)
8:25 PM

As the daughter of an illustrious duke, Lady Amanda Cumberland enjoys a life of wealth and privilege. In London for her first Season, the 16-year-old should have only one thing on her mind—fun. With two handsome, eligible lords courting her, her days have become infinitely more exciting, but still, something is missing. Lady Amanda longs to do something real. When she hears a stirring speech by Henry Hunt championing equal rights for all, his words sink deep into her soul. She vows to do all she can, even if it must be done secretly, to help common Englishmen—and women—achieve the dreams of freedom and equality.
Lord Nathaniel Halloway is known as the biggest rake in London. It's a facade he's carefully cultivated to hide his true passion—aiding the lower classes in their fight for freedom. His role in the campaign is bigger than anyone could guess; if the other members of the ton found out, the consequences would be unimaginable. Lord Nathaniel must play his part in their glittering world of excess and abandon in order to divert high society's fickle attention away from his true activities.
With her father pressuring her into choosing a husband, Lady Amanda must do some pretty play-acting of her own. Both play their roles to near perfection. Will their frivolous masks keep them from uniting—not just in a noble cause but in a love that could burn brighter than anything they've ever known?
I've been known to enjoy a fluffy Regency romance now and then, but I like them even better when they've got some substance behind them. The Nobleman's Daughter, a debut novel by Jen Geigle Johnson, offers up just that. Using England's turn-of-the-century fight for equal rights as a backdrop, the author creates a tension-filled romance that keeps the reader enthralled as it winds down to its inevitable Happily Ever After. The story's predictable; it's also exciting, fun, and engrossing. Nothing overly original, but it's enjoyable overall.
