An Untitled Lady

by Nicky Penttila

[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

"Nash first saw her as an apparition, a gilt London trinket set down by mistake at a dusty crossroads three miles north of town."

I'm not a romance kind of girl. It's mushy gushy and not my style. But I do like the regency era so thought I'd give An Untitled Lady a try. It was so much more than that. While the quote above had me questioning I soon realized this was not a book to be associated with Fabio. I was reminded of North & South or Elizabeth Gaskell's writing in general. An Untitled Lady was a fantastic read.

Nicky Penttila writing is so descriptive that I felt like I was there and could feel the buttons , fabric and all things that belong in a mill.

What I feel is at the heart of this novel is a marriage out of convince that slowly kindles to love. I could go on to describe the reasons why but I fear it would be most of the book. I will simple say this gradual affection for one another is a treat to see.

An Untitled Lady was a pleasure to read and knocked me out of my addiction to Candy Crush -- and that's saying a lot.

I received this book for review via the Historical Fiction Virtual Tour
