The Intrigue is the second book in the Daughters of
Mannerling series after The Banishment.
If you liked The Banishment, The Intrigue follows the same basic premise. Mannerling was a beautiful family estate that
the daughters of Sir Beverly were very, very proud of. After he gambles the estate away, they scheme
to find ways to win the estate back. In
the first novel, the eldest daughter Isabella fails in the scheme and instead
marries an Irish lord that she loves. In
this novel, the second daughter, Jessica works to win the hand of the son of the
new owners, Harry Devers. Unfortunately
Harry is a drunken womanizer, but Jessica is fond of Professor Robert Sommerville. Will Jessica follow the path of true love or
will she get back the estate that her family desires?
I love regency romances. Although this one had the same simplistic
plot as the first novel, I enjoyed listening to it. Charlotte Anne Dore was a good narrator and
it was a quick story to get through. If
you are looking for something light and romantic to listen to, I highly
recommend this book!
Like this romantic story. Thanks for the review on a series which is new to me.
ReplyDeleteI like it too. It is a nice romance set during one of my favorite time periods - the Regency! I just got the third book in the series from the library.
