"An exciting and exotic romance"

Fresh Fiction Review

Lady Emily's Exotic Journey
Lillian Marek

Reviewed by Lee Erin Berryhill
Posted August 14, 2015

Romance Historical

Lady Emily is bored with her life in England, and she is excited to be traveling the Middle East with her family. What she doesn't expect is the hardships and dangers of travel or meeting Lucien Chambertin, a French adventurer. As her journey continues and her life is threatened, Emily realizes the one person she can count is Lucien, but can a lady marry a poor adventurer? And does Lucien's past hold the key to their happiness? LADY EMILY'S EXOTIC JOURNEY is a refreshing romance with an exotic setting and an unusual hero. Emily is an independent heroine, a bit unpredictable, and extremely easy to like. Her feisty attitude and determination make for a wonderful character who grows throughout her exotic journey. Lucien is not the usual handsome hero of romance stories, but he is charming, witty, and adventurous, and readers won't mind that he is unconventional. Julia and David's love story was a nice addition to LADY EMILY'S EXOTIC JOURNEY and added some adventure and romance, while not taking away any from Emily and Lucien's story. Emily's parents were comical and enjoyable, and the villain is unexpected but just right for the story. Lillian Marek has created a wondrous setting that will jump out at readers. The deserts, palaces, and archeological sites are written with great detail and add to the exotic flavor to the story. LADY EMILY'S EXOTIC JOURNEY is a richly detailed romance with unexpected characters romance readers will love.
