DESCRIPTION:

Will Rebecca ever find her happy ending?

England, 1819

Having suffered at the hands of an unscrupulous suitor during her first season in London, twenty-one-year-old Rebecca Ware has vowed to leave her ordeal in the past and is now embarking on her second season.

Though she is wary of opening her heart, Rebecca soon finds herself drawn to Comte Hugo du Berge, a handsome French nobleman who has recently arrived in London.

As the season progresses and Rebecca and Hugo find themselves thrown into closer proximity, their warm and easy friendship deepens.

However, with a long-buried family mystery to unravel, it seems that Hugo is not in a position to settle down. And when he prepares to return to France in search of answers, Rebecca begins to worry that she has lost her heart to a man she may never see again…

SOME DAY MY PRINCE WILL COME is a historical romantic tale set in Regency England, with a spirited female lead and an intriguing mystery at its heart.

MY THOUGHTS:

Another delightful regency romance by Natalie Kleinman that is steadily paced and entertaining. The characters are likeable making for a refreshing and enjoyable read.

After being tricked by a previous suitor which almost ruined her reputation and a first season which didn't go too well, all Rebecca wants to do is put the past behind her and enjoy the upcoming season. There she meets Comte Hugo de Berge who is as handsome as he is wealthy, a Frenchman who is a friend of her brother's and recently arrived in London. Although she is drawn to him she is still very wary after her previous ordeal last Season.

Rebecca blossoms this season and though she is captivated by the charming Hugo, he cannot remain in London and must return to France where troubles of his own plague him. In light of certain family secrets coming to light, he needs to return home to deal with them. But will he return? And will Rebecca have her happy ending at last?

A delightfully easy read that was most enjoyable, this tale is also a quick read at just 221 pages. I raced through it rather quickly. This book has everything you love in a regency romance.

Thoroughly enjoyable.

MEET THE AUTHOR:

Natalie’s passion for reading became a compulsion to write when she attended a ten-week course in creative writing some sixteen or so years ago. She takes delight in creating short stories of which more than forty have been published, but it was her lifelong love of Regency romance that led her to turn from contemporary romantic fiction to try her hand at her favourite genre. Raised on a diet of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, she is never happier than when immersed in an age of etiquette and manners, fashion and intrigue, all combined into a romping good tale. She lives on the London/Kent border, close to the capital’s plethora of museums and galleries which she uses for research as well as pleasure. A perfect day though is when she heads out of town to enjoy lunch by a pub on the river, any river, in company with her husband and friends. 

Natalie is a member of the Romantic Novelists Association, the Society of Authors and the Society of Women Writers and Journalists.
