“Hot Hero, Great Research, Touch of the Exotic, 24 Mar 2013
By
J. Pittam "Maythorn. "This review is from: Far Beyond Rubies (Kindle
Edition)
It was great to see that there's a new
Rosemary Morris out. I like her exquisite attention to detail, and she writes
in the reign of Queen Anne, which is something a bit different from the usual
Regency romance. In this new book, which I have to admit I raced through and
will now read again, the heroine Juliana is stunned to discover that, according
to her half-brother William, she and her sister are bastards.
The tale of how Gervaise Seymour helps
her, how she helps herself, her sister and her various strays is quite
enchanting.
Rosemary uses her knowledge of India,
very pertinent in this period, to bring a spice of something different to this
novel. Her 'tanned hero' is no pallid, painted Englishman but one who has
travelled, married and been widowed on that exotic continent, thus earning
himself the nickname 'Beau Hindu' amongst the fashionable in London.
This novel is not a light book, as it
contains research into the politics, religion and morality of the reign of
Queen Anne. However the research informs the novel quite naturally and I found
this to be a lovely, sparkling romance. It is somewhat in the style of the late
Georgette Heyer, although I think after four novels Rosemary Morris is
developing a voice of her own.
Suitable for those who like a cracking
good historical romance set in England, wll-researched, sensual but no
explicit sex.”
