Romance Historical

Lady Rose Dunford lives in New York City, and is recently widowed by her sweet husband. But her new neighbour seems to be causing quite a stir in the area, with females flocking to visit him at home. Since her husband was kind and gentle, but not exactly exciting, Rose cannot understand what the attraction could possibly be. That is until she meets the man himself, the man who saved her from a cruel suitor in London, and made her life here possible... Charlie Avery has worked hard to get where he his today, a successful businessman in New York. He is no longer a servant from England. But as he spends more time with Rose, it cannot help but stir up feelings from the past. Is it possible for two very different people, to overcome their baggage, and grasp a chance for a passionate love together? HOW TO PLEASE A LADY by Jane Goodger is the second book in The Lost Heiresses series and is thoroughly enjoyable. Full of emotion and depth, Rose and Charlie are real characters with real flaws, that come alive with compassion and feeling. We learn all about their lives in London and how they both ended up in New York, which is great for historical readers, as we get to see the differences between the two societies at that time. With plenty of laughter, tears, and romance, HOW TO PLEASE A LADY by Jane Goodger is a wonderful story that will completely enchant readers.

SUMMARY

Run though they might, love will find them…

Lady Rose Dunford is shocked--and titillated--by the number of female visitors coming and going from her mysterious new neighbor's Manhattan brownstone. Recently widowed by the death of her very sweet, but not very exciting husband, Rose finds it difficult to imagine just what the attraction could be.

And then she meets the bachelor in question. Not only is Charlie Avery dashing and outrageously good looking--she knows him! He is none other than the man who once helped her escape the dreary matchmaking plans of her father, the man she once dreamed she could love. Can Charlie's presence next door be an accident? Or has he come to show her everything he has learned about…
