Ashe and his family have just arrived in England to claim
their family estate. Needing a bride who is the perfect
picture of English society is a priority for Ashe, as he is
the heir to the family title. Phyllida and her secrets are
not what Ashe is looking for, but he becomes intrigued by
Phyllida anyways. As Ashe learns more about Phyllida, he
realizes he is falling in love with her. Ashe must soon
choose between love and Phyllida or duty to his family title.
Louise Allen has written a stand out regency romance. Though
the regency theme is not unique, the plot of TARNISHED
AMONGST THE TON is very creative, and established a unique
setting for enjoyable characters. The hero of TARNISHED
AMONGST THE TON, Ashe, is not the expected regency hero. He
is handsome, slightly arrogant, and self - assured, but he
is not a hero who has lived his life in English society, and
the usual rules don't apply to him. Ashe also, has a
surprising past, and unusual vulnerability. Likewise the
heroine, Phyllida, has a different past. She also has a
great sense of independence and a caring heart. The dialogue
between characters is witty, and characters such as Gregory
and Harriet made TARNISHED AMONGST THE TON even more
agreeable. Readers who enjoy regency historical romances
will like reading TARNISHED AMONGST THE TON.
Having survived the scandal of her birth with courage and
determination, the beautiful Phyllida has reached a
precarious balance within the ton. And in just one moment
Ashe Herriard, Viscount Clere, blows her world and her
carefully made plans to pieces.
Brought up in vibrant Calcutta, Ashe is disdainful of
polite London society, but something about Phyllida
intrigues him. There's a mystery surrounding her. A promise
of secrets and a hint of scandal-more than enough to entice
him!
