The Marquess of Secrets

Set in Victorian England, this novel brings some interesting comments regarding the era into focus. Times were already changing with the industrial revolution, but the altitudes of the aristocracy were taking longer to evolve. Whilst it was quite respectable to drink, gamble and generally indulge oneself, reaching out as a physician to the poor was quite beyond the pale. Thus Harrison hid behind a facade of self-indulgence in order to practice medicine in some of the worst parts of London to the poorest of society. Finding Lydia among the night's intake of patients, Harrison knows that she doesn't belong there, but when she disappears he despairs of finding her. A chance encounter brings them back together again, and Harrison is forced to search deep within himself to determine whether he is going to obey the rules of society or follow his heart. The story is suspenseful, emotive and heart-rending. One would like to think that the conditions Harrison encountered on the streets of London no longer exist. Sadly, that is not the case. Well written and romantic, this book comes to a happy conclusion with a warm-hearted hero and an incredibly brave woman. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

This was an entertaining and solidly written story of a young nurse and the Marquis of Tennington. The characters are a bit different so made this story feel fresh and new the author did a great job. There meeting was interesting and I loved reading their story. I highly recommend!! I did receive a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.
