Georgia Milton is a widow who has a dream of heading west to
working the land. Her life and her dreams become complicated
when a man who attempted to save her bag from a thief enters
her life. An accident caused the poor fellow to lose his
memory and now he thinks his name is Robinson, as in
Robinson Crusoe. Determined to care for him until his memory
returns, Georgia never counted on the feelings Robinson
would ignite in her.
With no memory of being Roderick Gideon Tremayne, also known
as the Duke of Wentworth, or the map that brought him to New
York, Robinson is content to stay with his savior for the
rest of his days. Determined to get Georgia to submit to the
passion that blazes between them, Robinson is more worried
about his future than he is about a past he can't remember.
However, once Robinson gets his memory back, will he and
Georgia have a chance at the kind of life as the one he's
been envisioning?
Delilah Marvelle's regency take on the rich guy/poor girl
theme will be a surefire hit with readers. FOREVER AND A DAY
is a Cinderella story that takes place not in a palace
during a ball but in the slums of New York, surrounded by
thieves and average working class people. This is a
refreshing tale that takes us away from London and the ton
and puts more emphasis on the characters rather than the
society around them and their expectations. I fell in love
with Ms. Marvelle's new Rumor series when I read the prequel
novella, Forever Mine. FOREVER AND A DAY was a worthy first
novel for the series and I can't wait to read the others as
they get published. If I did have to say something that I
was left disappointed in, it would be that the heroine from
Forever Mine is no longer alive and the hero seems to have
become a bit of a stuffy bore in FOREVER AND A DAY. My
favorite part though was the ending, which I will not
giveaway. For that, you'll just have to go pick up your own
copy. Happy reading!
Roderick Gideon Tremayne, the recently appointed Duke of
Wentworth, never expected to find himself in New York City,
tracking down a mysterious map important to his late mother.
And he certainly never expected to be injured, only to wake
up with no memory of who he is. But when he sees the
fiery-haired beauty who's taken it upon herself to rescue
him, suddenly his memory is the last thing on his mind.
Georgia Milton, the young head of New York's notorious Forty
Thieves, feels responsible for the man who was trying to
save her reticule from a thief. But she's not prepared for
the fierce passion he ignites within her. When his memory
begins to return, her whole world is threatened, and
Roderick must choose between the life he forgot and the life
he never knew existed....
