The Consequence of You: Tales from the Arcadian Book 2
A WINNER IN DRAGONBLADE PUBLISHING'S 2021, THE WRITE STUFF COMPETITION
Daphne Randall is a woman in disgrace and nothing short of a miracle can fix it.
Six years ago, Daphne's divorce left her virtually penniless and entombed on a derelict estate. An inheritance frees her to pursue dreams of composing music and clearing her name from the stigma of adultery. When the scandal sheets reveal Daphne as the resident composer for the Arcadian music hall, she draws the ire of people who want her gone from London – including her former husband, Adam Randall, the Earl of Wakefield. Daphne is determined to stay and uncover who set out to destroy her marriage and why. When her life is threatened, however, the primary suspect turns out to be her relentless former husband.
Adam fell in love with Daphne within moments of meeting her. When their marriage ended with betrayal and lies, he lost his political future and his family’s legacy. He’s spent six years rebuilding his life as an archeologist in Egypt. He triumphantly returns to England ready to resume his place in society, and hopefully take a position at Oxford – that is if he can remain free of scandal. He’s not the problem, though. It’s Daphne. Now she performs on stage, writes risqué ditties and associates with scoundrels and ne’er-do-wells. She will destroy his new life if she’s not careful and Daphne is never careful. Adam is determined to remove her from London and his life no matter the cost.
Sparks fly when Daphne and Adam square off. Along with the bitterness and anger, they still feel towards each other comes the realization that the passion they once shared is still alive, still fierce and just waiting for the right circumstances to burst into flame. Saying goodbye wasn’t easy the first time. Now it may be impossible.

About the author
Stephanie Patterson
8 books39 followersI began my writing career at age three by designing my own alphabet using symbols to represent words. Thankfully school got me back on track with mainstream communication and I've has been creating stories ever since. Words are magic to me and writing is my first love. I owe my beginnings in the romance field to the kindness of Katherine Falk and the vision of a new, up and coming publishing house she profiled in “Romantic Times Magazine.” My first romance, "Playing For Keeps," was published by Genesis Press under the pen name, Stephanie Salinas for their Tango 2 line. "The Woman in Question," a contemporary romantic thriller, was published under my own name a couple of years later. My current projects include a new historical romance series entitled, "Season of the Furies." The first book in the series, "A Terrible Beauty," was released March 4, 2016. Book 2 is scheduled for release in late Fall of 2016.
I live in northern Oregon in a town long the banks of the Columbia River. St. Helens is an interesting mix of both pioneer and nautical history. It’s a place steeped in tales of mystery and dark deeds like shanghaiing and murder. Our town has appeared on several ghost investigation shows and it was the filming location for Disney’s original “Halloween Town” and the first movie in the “Twilight” franchise. Every year we hold a month long festival commemorating the Disney film.
I’ve been a legal assistant for a criminal defense attorney for more than fifteen years, working all sorts of criminal cases from petty theft to capital murder and murder for hire. When I'm not writing I practice and teach the ancient divination art of cartomancy - a fancy way of saying I read tarot cards. Every Halloween I read cards at a local restaurant noted for its haunted history. As if that isn't weird enough, I'm also a belly dance hobbyist and perform at various festivals around the Pacific Northwest.
As I write this I’m deep into research for my next book in the “Season of the Furies” series.

I have not read a historical romance in 2023 that I have genuinely enjoyed as much as Stephanie Patterson's The Consequence of You. I may have read fantasy romances set in historical times. I may have reread historical romances but I haven't read something new that's held me for a long time.
And I have missed this!
I missed the sensuality of memory, of a look, of a touch, of a thought that historical romances can do so well.
The first half of the novel is just excellent angst, anger, and arguments that have it all out. I was worried the flashbacks would overpower the present timeline but we are only treated to about one or two before we focus on the present.
In the Prologue, Daphne is anxiously awaiting her fate. She was ruined when she was a teenager (19 or so) by a young lord passing through town for a summer. Although he made promises of marriage to her, he reneged on them and her stepfather is now returning from demanding marriage to make things right. Her stepfather returns and tells her quite happily that a settlement was reached in exchange for their silence.
There is no marriage because Daphne has no social standing or dowry and the young lord has higher prospects in mind for his wife. However, her pragmatic stepfather is pleased with the outcome, loyalty to the family is his whole schtick, and her mom also follows suit.
We then move right to another sad moment in Daphne's life. Sitting at her trial of criminal conversation (adultery), accused by her husband, Adam Randall, with Viscount Linton. Although she is found innocent, she is immediately served her divorce papers. She is allowed to live at Adam's largesse... shunted off to a lonely cottage in the middle of nowhere with no one for company. And Adam has left for Egypt...
We then move to the present timeline where Daphne has just had about enough. She is being invited to take a bow on-stage for writing the musical arrangements at The Arcadian's reopening. For Daphne is a skilled pianist and composer of popular ditties, waltzes, and ballads.
Adam has also returned to London, now to seek an appointment in Oxford's Egyptology department, after the dust has settled from his divorce and his many discoveries feathers in his cap for a successful re-entry back into society. And perhaps, to secure a new wife, as his sister, Meg, wants him to.
Sidebar: He has travelled primarily in Egypt but it is suggested across the orient... I would have preferred the author omit the hero's racist thinking. 2 times Adam thinks or says that he can handle English society because of the people he encountered on his travels. Historical accuracy of racism is not the historical accuracy I want!
Shortly upon his return to London, he finds out from Meg, who is reading the gossip papers, that his shameless (ex) wife is now performing at The Arcadian!
Well. Not if Adam has anything to say about that.
What I so enjoyed about The Consequence of You is how the author skillfully reveals Daphne and Adam. Daphne's passion for music is real, as real as Adam's passion for Egypt. From their hobbies/careers, you start to see Daphne is not just a naive teenager, but a young woman with life to her. She wasn't necessarily extroverted but she wasn't an ice queen snob. Adam, having taken on his family's political dynasty, was forced to be a politician, and forced Daphne to be his helpmate. Adam was the second son, idealistic about life, and being put in the position of first son, led him to behave in the ways that he did. And I know a hero with mommy issues is so been there, done that, but the best romances make them seem fresh. Adam's worst fear was being made the fool by the woman he loved in the same way that his father had with his mother.
Adam had many realizations about himself, Daphne, and how their marriage went down. From realizing he wanted Daphne to sacrifice for him, her dreams, her music, Adam had a lot to learn. Daphne could share some of the blame, as she acknowledges not fighting for them harder but as she says in one of their brilliant arguments, he let them win. He let them destroy their marriage.
So, it was a bit of a turn when the first half of torrid regret, pain, and anger makes a change for a mystery that seems lighthearted in comparison. As another GR reviewer notes, it's needed for them to overcome the past by discovering who was behind the adultery conspiracy all those years ago...
I did enjoy the mystery, although I missed Adam and Daphne resisting and then succumbing to each other.
Also, what is the opposite of the pet peeve? Because I love it when authors drop in the title of the book somewhere in the story, whether that's at the end or it's revealed to be of sentimental significance... The Consequence of You is the love ballad that Daphne writes for Adam that is so pure that Meg, after listening to it, tells Daphne that she now believes Daphne when she says she never treated on her brother!!
This reminds me of another angst-y second chance romance, Joanna Chambers' Unforgivable in how the hero is unable to forgive his wife through no fault of her own.
And I have missed this!

The first half of the book was high angst and describes the push and pull of their former relationship. The H was a real jerk and how the h was rather immature. It describes how the couple move past their history. I always enjoy the story of a woman who rises up after being knocked down by life and goes on to better things.
Then the second half of the book...mystery, murder and surprise twists. I enjoy this author and look forward to more of her books.

04/11/23 re-read.
taking one star off because I didn't like the quick flip of feelings on the hero's part. Other than that, excellent book!
This was a fabulous book, and I knew just from a few chapters in that I was reading gold. It was an average plot that flipped between love and hate, that could have been bogged down with misunderstandings, but the author did such an amazing job creating this book with realistic evils, that it never felt lacking. Its average plot was upped to a 5-star story.
We have two lovers, one who was wronged previously and left “ruined”. Since she had no support system (shitastic family), she spent a lot of time trying to figure out life by herself. She was inexperienced and like most young woman she made ill-informed choices. It was completely relatable, and I forgave her almost immediately. She loved her hero even when he was so unlovable. I hate to see real love crushed and this one was stomped to death. It was so sad.
The hero was a prideful asshat. Pride can be such a nasty part of the human psyche, and he had buckets full of it. So much that his pride was the ruin of both he and the heroine. The author did a great job, however, of making our hero justify his own actions. Several times I caught myself saying “Well, maybe he’s right” …and I hate that because NO, he was not right. He was wrong always and I hated him for most of the book.
The intense romance between these two lost souls consumed the entire first 50% of the book. I honestly was not expecting the last half to turn into a mystery, but now that I am done reading, it was so important for the author to wrap things up that way. These two could have never trusted each other if they had not fulfilled the mission of discovering who was at the center of their demise.
Forgiveness for the hero was a hard pill to swallow, but I knew that the heroine loved him so much that at some point, for a HEA, she would have to accept him back. I’m still on the fence. His loyalty was feeble and that is a very unattractive quality to have. Still, he did right in the end.
All in all, I love the theme of the book: Woman takes no more shit off anybody!
And really that’s what happened. Our heroine took charge of her own life, after so many people held her down. You can have feminism and still have a knight in shining armor sweep you off your feet.
Side note: I got goosies every time the hero referred to his Ex-wife and his wife. It was so cute. Also, really like the cover for some reason?

Angsty, superior romance
I do not even have words that could describe how wonderful I found this story. It showed up in my recommendations and I was like maybe I'll like it. It is about a divorced couple coming together again and I usually like that as long as they are faithful. This one sheds no light on if he was with anyone else in the four years apart but she definitely wasn't. All I know is that he is one of the most cruel heroes I have ever read about. I cried at the things He did to her or said. I hated the way society treated her because of what he did. It was awful. He perpetuated it too. I loved when he finally saw the light. But even then he was still so mean. Everyone was. And then about 35% through the lies began to unravel. Then the mystery part of the book begins and their romance starts to burst into flame. It was just such an emotional journey.
In the prologue we find out that the 17 year old heroine was ruined by a lordling that promised her marriage, but didn't. It was tragic. Then the first chapter starts regarding her divorce from Lord Wakefield for her alleged adultery. The man he sued for 'criminal conversation' as the other party was found not guilty but the hero was was a jerk sued her for not being a virgin on their wedding night and he divorced her. She was the wronged 17 year old.
Then it is four years letter and he just got back from Cairo and discovered some tablets and she was writing songs for the stage and publishing them. He had banished her to some forlorn estate and he kept her There alone living in penury and allowing her to only dress in mourning. But her Grandmother died and left her a slight inheritance and a piano. She left and went out on her own and started writing music. He finds out and tries to force her back that bleak life. what he tried to do was so wrong. He misjudged her constantly. She keeps saying she was innocent but he didn't believe her until she was beat up and almost kidnapped. Then they start searching for the truth as to who framed her and why. Villains galore and treachery surround them. It is quite the ride. And I loved it. I just couldn't put it down. And the ending was really really good. But there are lots of tears and angst on the journey. Free in KU and I am going to look for more novels from this author.

I skimmed a few portions of this, but the last half was so entertaining with solving the mystery of sabotage, I'm still giving it 4 stars. The beginning was nice and angsty, but I got bogged down by the two flashbacks - not a fan of flashbacks - and the archaeological exploits of the hero and the politics. Which then I felt pretty dumb about, as per the afterword, it looks like the author went to a lot of trouble to be historically accurate. Oh well, I read for entertainment far more than knowledge 😒

Sorry, gave up at 65% after angst and drama and making up. Then nothing happens.

I have enjoyed this second book in the Tales of the Arcadian series even more than the first.
Stephanie Patterson is becoming one of my auto read authors.
Between the circle of the Furies’ families and the one of the Arcadian ‘s there is still so much to tell I believe to make for a very long series.
This author is helping me satisfying my craving for cruel heroes without having to necessarily turn to bodice rippers. Adam here is cruel as they come but when he eventually realised he was wrong (and it is luckily not too far in the story) he is delightful.
Daphne is a strong and modern heroine but not one of this mulish like girls we so commonly find in current HR . She has fragilities , weakness and she is not ashamed about them.
The secondary characters are well depicted and extremely interesting, the artistic setting and the historical research interesting without being boring.

3.5 stars that Needed more grovel
The angst, as usual, was delicious. However, while this does end in a HEA, the H needed to grovel... he does not. The h just decides she doesn't need any grovelling from him, even though she wanted it initially and even though he destroyed her name, her life, and exiled her.
Yea, no.

Once it takes off....
You're up and running. Ms. Patterson knows how to take you through your paces. An excellent follow up to The Bobbie Dazzler. I think it's even better, but that was good too. I just read it for the second time. Even though her books are on Kindle Unlimited, I buy them up as part of my collection. Can't wait to see who she will write about next. Her side characters are phenomenal. Maybe Kensey? Maybe Trevor?? Maybe Linton??? Hope I don't have to wait too long!

Ler esse livro foi uma experiência divertida. Em dois dias devorei as páginas e criei uma grande afeição aos personagens. Por mais que o Adam tenha me irritado no início, logo perdoei as burrices dele. E a Daphne é uma querida, gostei dela buscar ser independente e também ser muito inteligente.
Os coadjuvantes também são perfeitos e quero tanto poder no futuro ler uma continuação focada na Meg e no Trevor. A Meg de longe foi minha personagem favorita. Enfim, amei a história!!!!

A great sequel
This was such a great romantic adventure to this series! A lot of twist and turns that really kept me in suspense, I'm so glad to see old characters again. I hope this continues with more tales of the Arcadian!

I can’t believe I’ve never seen this book recc’d on the romance subreddits. It’s so good!!! Beautiful, poignant, rich story. Dying for her to write about Meg next.
