With her brother Thomas injured on the battlefront in the Colonies, orphaned Cecilia Harcourt has two unbearable choices: move in with a maiden aunt or marry a scheming cousin. Instead, she chooses option three and travels across the Atlantic, determined to nurse her brother back to health. But after a week of searching, she finds not her brother but his best friend, the handsome officer Edward Rokesby. He's unconscious and in desperate need of her care, and Cecilia vows that she will save this soldier's life, even if staying by his side means telling one little lie... I told everyone I was your wife When Edward comes to, he's more than a little confused. The blow to his head knocked out three months of his memory, but surely he would recall getting married. He knows who Cecilia Harcourt is even if he does not recall her face and with everyone calling her his wife, he decides it must be true, even though he'd always assumed he'd marry his neighbor back in England.

Her father dies and leaves her alone, she receives word that her brother, Thomas, has been injured fighting in the American Revolution, her loathsome cousin pressures her to marry him, and she stands to lose her only home if her brother doesn't survive to inherit it. She does the only thing she can think to do -- sail for America to care for Thomas. But when she gets there, she finds her brother missing and his best friend unconscious in a hospital on the island of Manhattan. Only immediate family is allowed to care for him, so Cecilia passes herself off as his wife. That's how Capt. Edward Rokesby, second son of the Earl of Manston, came to wake up and find himself married to a woman he'd never met in person. But he does know her--and is half in love with her--just from reading the letters she sent to her brother. A head injury keeps Edward from remembering the past few months, so Cecilia's cover is not immediately blown. By the time the mix-up is all sorted out, Cecilia is thoroughly compromised and Edward and Cecilia are thoroughly in love. This is one of those novels where the reader longs to shout at the characters to tell each other the truth already, but it is a great read nevertheless, with mystery and adventure and, yes, romance. This is the second of Quinn's (Because of Miss Bridgerton, 2016, etc.) Rokesby novels and a prequel to her popular Bridgertons series.

However, once Cecilia arrives in New York, she discovers Thomas is missing, which leads her to lie number two. By claiming to be the new wife of her brother's best friend, Captain Edward Rokesby, Cecilia establishes a valid reason for remaining in Manhattan.

Serie: Bridgerton

Inhalt: " A #1 New York Times BestsellerFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn comes the story of Daphne Bridgerton, in the first of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family, now a series created by Shondaland for Netflix.In the ballrooms and drawing rooms of Regency London, rules abound. From their earliest days, children of aristocrats learn how to address an earl and curtsey before a prince8212 while other dictates of the ton are unspoken yet universally understood. A proper duke should be imperious and aloof. A young, marriageable lady should be amiable...but not too amiable. Daphne Bridgerton has always failed at the latter. The fourth of eight siblings in her close-knit family, she has formed friendships with the most eligible young men in London. Everyone likes Daphne for her kindness and wit. But no one truly desires her. She is simply too deuced honest for that, too unwilling to play the romantic games that captivate gentlemen. Amiability is not a characteristic shared by Simon Basset, Duke of Hastings. Recently returned to England from abroad, he intends to shun both marriage and society8212 just as his callous father shunned Simon throughout his painful childhood. Yet an encounter with his best friend's sister offers another option. If Daphne agrees to a fake courtship, Simon can deter the mamas who parade their daughters before him. Daphne, meanwhile, will see her prospects and her reputation soar. The plan works like a charm8212 at first. But amid the glittering, gossipy, cut-throat world of London's elite, there is only one certainty: love ignores every rule... This novel includes the 2nd epilogue, a peek at the story after the story. "

Serie: Rokesbys

Inhalt: " #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn continues her Bridgerton prequel series with a new novel following the adventures and love stories of the Bridgerton and Rokesby families. She was in the wrong place... Fiercely independent and adventurous, Poppy Bridgerton will only wed a suitor whose keen intellect and interests match her own. Sadly, none of the fools from her London season qualify. While visiting a friend on the Dorset coast, Poppy is pleasantly surprised to discover a smugglers' hideaway tucked inside a cave. But her delight turns to dismay when two pirates kidnap her and take her aboard a ship, leaving her bound and gagged on the captain's bed... He found her at the wrong time... Known to society as a rascal and reckless privateer, Captain Andrew James Rokesby actually transports essential goods and documents for the British government.

But no, she is very real and his duty to the Crown means he's stuck with her. Can two wrongs make the most perfect right? When Andrew learns that she is a Bridgerton, he knows he will likely have to wed her to avert a scandal though Poppy has no idea that he is the son of an earl and neighbor to her aristocratic cousins in Kent. On the high seas, their war of words soon gives way to an intoxicating passion. But when Andrew's secret is revealed, will his declaration of love be enough to capture her heart...? "

And a little bored. Visiting a friend in Dorset, she ditches the maid who's been assigned to chaperone her in order to explore some local caves when she happens on a couple of privateers who kidnap her and take her to their ship. The captain of the ship, clearly a gentleman, nonetheless refuses to release her and forces her to set sail to Portugal, a prisoner in his cabin. Poppy is angry at her lack of freedom and anxious about her reputation, but even she realizes that Capt. Andrew James is not only blindingly handsome, but also unusually honorable for a pirate. What she doesn't know is that Andrew James is really Andrew James Rokesby,his role as a privateer is actually a cover for his work for the monarchy,and he and his family are close friends with her Bridgerton cousins. Andrew is impressed by Poppy's intelligence, wit, and equanimity in the face of drastic circumstances. The more he comes to like her, the more he tries to make her journey more interesting, since she is clearly a curious soul. His good intentions backfire, however, when his desire to take her on an adventure becomes a fight for their lives just as he realizes he can't live without her. Quinn's mastery of banter, character development, and the slow build of romantic and sexual tension is on full display in the newest Rokesby title (a series of 18th-century prequels to the Bridgerton Regency romances).

If that is truly the case, having Poppy Bridgerton confined in his cabin for two weeks means Andrew and the crew of the Infinity really are cursed. To be fair, it isn't as if Andrew wanted to drag Poppy along on the voyage to Portugal, but once she was discovered wandering around the secret caves where Andrew and his crew store their ill-gotten gains, what choice did he have? Surely Andrew can manage to last a fortnight with the vexing and vociferous Miss Bridgerton without giving in to temptation and tossing her overboard? The latest in Quinn's Bridgertons Prequels is another small-scale masterpiece of simmering sexuality, unforgettable characters, and deliciously dry wit.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)

Serie: Smythe-Smith Quartet

Inhalt: " Sir Richard Kenworthy has less than a month to find a bride. He knows he can't be too picky, but when he sees Iris Smythe-Smith hiding behind her cello at her family's infamous musicale, he thinks he might have struck gold. She's the type of girl you don't notice until the second8212 or third8212 look, but there's something about her, something simmering under the surface, and he knows she's the one. Iris Smythe8211 Smith is used to being underestimated. With her pale hair and quiet, sly wit she tends to blend into the background, and she likes it that way. So when Richard Kenworthy demands an introduction, she is suspicious. He flirts, he charms, he gives every impression of a man falling in love, but she can't quite believe it's all true. When his proposal of marriage turns into a compromising position that forces the issue, she can't help thinking that he's hiding something . even as her heart tells her to say yes. "

" Rezension(2): "Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on THE SUM OF ALL KISSES: Quinn brings her signature style and wit to yet another late-Regency romance, with some character favorites fans have met before... Charmingly romantic, with compelling edges of dark conflict and sexual tension. 8212" Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: February 15, 2015 There's nothing like a hero with a secret to intrigue readers--and there's nothing that annoys a heroine more, especially when she has no idea what it is or how it will affect her until it's too late. But Iris Smythe-Smith is more than up to the challenge, and when she is compromised, quickly wed, and whisked off to Yorkshire by Sir Richard Kenworthy, she soon sorts things out with the help of a most observant young lady. A deceptively fragile-looking heroine and a desperate hero caught on the horns of a true dilemma find love despite their rocky beginnings and a serious deception. VERDICT Witty, sexy, and often quite funny, Quinn's final visit with the Smythe-Smith clan (or is it?) is another fan-pleasing romp that has the added bonus of redeeming a weak and totally unsympathetic hero,a heartwarming story that won't disappoint.

Given his pressing time line, Richard realizes he can't afford to be particularly demanding when it comes to choosing a wife. Therefore, Richard is pleasantly surprised when he discovers the perfect candidate for the future Mrs. Richard Kenworthy at the annual Smythe-Smith family musicale. The moment Richard meets Iris Smythe-Smith, he knows that not only has he found a suitable spouse, he may also have found his one true love. Iris knows she isn't exactly the sort of lady who inspires men to fall in love at first sight. So when Richard begins flirting with her, she is both flattered and more than a bit surprised. The speed of Richard's courtship and the manner in which he gets Iris to agree to marry him definitely give her second thoughts. In the end, however, the fate of their marriage ultimately rests on which Iris trusts more: her head or her heart. RITA Awardwinning Quinn wraps up her Smythe-Smith quartet (after The Sum of All Kisses, 2013) in splendid fashion as she once again successfully marries sparkling wit with seductive passion to create another swoon-worthy love story.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
