5.0 out of 5 stars Great Plot, Well Researched, Enjoyable Novel,
J. Pittam “Maythorn” (Hertfordshire, England.)
This review is from: False Pretences (Kindle Edition)
I very much enjoyed this novel by Rosemary Morris. It is set in 1815, but is not what I'd call a typical 'Regency Romance'. There certainly is a romance involved, eventually, but there's an elegant, well-told mystery story before we get there. The plot is intricate and the research superb. I very much enjoyed following Annabelle's search for identity, which involves bitter discoveries about her father and half-brother’s political intrigues, covers her own fears and worries for her sister and servants (she's a compassionate lass, is Annabelle, and inclined to pick up waifs and strays) and finally the moment when she succumbs to a delicious hero.
All in all I hope Rosemary Morris has some more books under her sleeve.
This book is suitable for those who like their history accurate, their heroine to be a real person, the hero likewise (but gorgeous). There is no explicit sex in this novel. As a kindle read it's also suitable for those with a visual disability.

Who? A Question That Needs To Be Answered.
Whether you are writing non fiction or fiction, at the beginning it is necessary to engage a
reader in the story by establishing who it is about as soon as possible.
In Tangled Love, set in
Hertfordshire, in 1693, the unpopular King James, brother of Charles IInd has
fled England and his daughter Mary and her husband William now sit on the
throne. In the prologue, nine year-old Richelda’s father explains his dilemma.
“With
a sigh, Father lifted her onto his knee. ‘Richelda, I must follow His Majesty
for I swore an oath of allegiance to him. Tell me, child, while King James
lives how can I, with honour, swear allegiance to his disloyal daughter and her
husband?’
Unable
to think of a reply, she lowered her head breathing in his spicy perfume.
Father
held her closer. ‘Your mother pleads with me to declare myself for William and
Mary. She begs me not to return to France, but I am obliged to serve King
James. Do you understand?’
