If you follow my reviews at all, you know how much I like to destroy my extensive Barbara Cartland collection. However, color me pleasantly surprised by this one.
Rona is a rich girl and her daddy wants to marry her off to a titled man who can get him into the best clubs. Rona, however, wants to marry for love. Who doesn’t, girl? She has a chance encounter with a harlequin at the costume ball and decides, after a short conversation and a brief kiss, to run away and take a governess position under an assumed name. As you do, back in the day. Will she find her happily ever after? You know she will. Babs doesn’t write them any other way.
Rife with the insta-love that you know will be there, we also get some intrigue, and a mostly smart, self-assured heroine that is a rarity in Dame Barbara’s works. We get a dashing harlequin and a very nice Earl who doesn’t get what he deserves, but I’m hoping he makes an appearance in one of her 700 other books. I really liked him.
Far better than most of her other novels. Maybe this one had a ghost writer. 3 stars.

Barbara Cartland kitaplarından bulması bence şans olan bir yazae, çünkü çoğu kitabının baskısı yok. Bizim değil bizden önceki jenerasyonun yazarı bu teyzem ve kalemi epey kuvvetli. Zaten onu da cagnim ablam Özden'den duymuş merak etmiş denk gelince aha buldum diyerek aldığım bir kitap oldu Aşk Onların Oldu.
Hemen konuya geçiş yapayım;
Kızımız Rona, hatrı sayılır bir servete sahip ailenin kızıdır. Babasının isteği de Rona'yı en iyi kulüplere sokabilecek soylu bir elemanla evlendirmektir. Peki bu konuda bizimkinin fikri nedir?

This was truly the best story.
This story has a better plot then the other stories I have read so far. I like her heroine and her hero but I like this one best of all.

From looking at the cover of this book a person may think this is just your classic romance novel. However, this book is packed with mystery and intrigue on every page.

Superb. Amazing. Most thrilling. I wish I could give it 10 stars. I also wish there was a happier ending for Earl Lancing.

I head this book on audible last summer, and then got the book version for christmas, and I must say that reading it on my own actually made it better.
