DRIVEN BY DESIRE Stuart Delaney, a notorious Civil War adventurer, has traveled across land and sea to rescue a lovely young Englishwoman, Angelica Blake, and bring her home to an arranged marriage. Stuart has been paid well for his trouble--but the real trouble begins the moment he lays eyes on this woman who is promised to another.
BOUND BY LOVE Anjelica must decide if she remain loyal to the kindhearted gentleman she hasn't seen since childhood, or continue the delicious, scandalous alliance with the mysterious American who has recklessly risked his life for her and who promises her nothing but the heated passion of his love...
Such an interesting story… mid 1860s… from India to London to Virginia.
🐘 In the beginning I thought this was a fairly straightforward romance… the heroine Anjelica who was married by proxy as a child and lives in India, falls in love with Stuart the man sent to bring her back to England.
🐘 Her younger sister and brother play significant roles in the story adding a great dynamic to the plot. Plus there’s lots of info about their life in India… including riding elephants!
🐘 Then the story gets complicated as characters from the previous two books in the series are tied in with this book. And, it all comes to a head near the end with painful revelations from the past until they get their HEA.
🐘 Fairly low steam plus bits of humor especially with the children. Overall, a good read!!
(I haven’t read the previous two books in the series and still feel White Orchid can be read as a standalone.)
I've read this book 10 years ago. I never had the chance to read the full trilogy since the books are not available in the Philippines and unfortunately there's is no ebook available as well for this Trilogy (huhu) I hope the Author or the Publisher will release ebook versions for this Trilogy
This is still one of my favorite books. The plots and twist are amazing.
Update. Just found a site where in i can borrow the book.
