Her "dual" nationality has given her a love for all things British and Texan, and she enjoys weaving both heritages through her stories. Lorraine was born in Watford, Hertfordshire, England, but soon after moved to Texas. She is the daughter of a British beauty (her mom won second place in a beauty contest sponsored by Max Factor® during which she received a kiss from Caesar Romero, (the Joker on the original Batman TV series) and a Texan who was stationed at Bovingdon while serving in the air force. No doubt because growing up, watching movies with her mom, she was taught that the best movies "won't half make you cry." Lorraine Heath has always had a soft spot for emotional love stories. I think this book is better read after the series.Also writes Young Adult under Rachel Hawthorne, Jade Parker, and with her son as J.A. In some ways it is both a prequel and a sequel for the series. WORTH MENTIONING: I cried and cried and cried.ĬONNECTED BOOKS: WHEN THE MARQUESS FALLS is book 3.5 in the Hellions of Havisham series. Heath instead rises to the challenge and gives readers a book that has a happy ever even if it is not in this life. Most writers would have left readers with - the romance is not a HEA and thus there is nothing more to write. While this won’t be a book that I will pick up again and again to read, I greatly admire Heath for writing this book. The story between George and Linnie is more beautiful knowing that it is both such a short story and a long romance. Yet, it is a beautiful romance even if it doesn’t fit the standard confines of the genre. This book has a horrible middle that readers of the series will know about - the heroine dies young in childbirth. OPINION: I have had this book for months and just couldn’t bring myself to read it.
With their friendship on a deadline (Linnie plans to move to London to open her own shop and George knows he must marry) the two cannot stop the deep and forbidden passion that flares between them. Although he knows he loves her, George knows that there cannot be any future between them because of the difference in their stations. THE STORY: George, the Marquess of Marsden has been friends with the baker’s daughter, Linnie Connor, since they were children. This review contains a serious spoiler if you haven’t read the other books in the series.įINAL DECISION: Know the secret of this book, grieve with every word, and read it anyway.
