Lucy Ashbrook loves Regent’s Park Bird
Sanctuary. Visiting there reminds her of the times she went with her mother
when her mother was alive. One day while she’s sitting and sketching a bird, a handsome
laborer introduces himself as Oliver Barrow. Lucy is taken with him despite the
fact their stations in life are so disparate. When her father insists she marry
the repulsive Lord Conrad Croome, fifth Earl of Lofton, she’s devastated. But
Oliver has a secret and he’s determined that Lucy will marry him instead.
Light-hearted, fun and entertaining, this
historical romance is both adorable and enjoyable. The characters don’t have as
much depth as I would like and the world is confined to a small slice of
historical London, but there is a lot of humor and some angst as well as an endearing
hero in Oliver. Even the birds are characters all on their own though not in a
Hitchcock way. This is a sweet, clean romance for those who prefer less
in-your-face bump and grind. Stomach butterflies, racing hearts and kisses only
here.
