Okay, so I am currently rereading one of my favorite romantic books ever. So for men, you can discard this entry. I am not really one to read a lot of romantic books, but this one is very special. I only ever read time period romantic novels as present day romance just comes off cliche and cheesy. The leading character Whitney is so endearing and witty, you can’t help but want to be her, and she is flawed to the core. The leading male character known as Clayton Westmoreland is the most devilish man that you can’t help but love and want. This book is filled with quirkiness which will get you giggling and laughing, as well as a lot of passion and tears. It really is a shame they have not turned this into a movie, because it could would be an epic visually.
Sypnosis:
Whitney Stone’s teenage crush on a neighbor has her cold, unfeeling father banishing her to Paris into the care of her aunt and uncle. Under their loving guidance, the young woman blossoms into a ravishing beauty and becomes the darling of glittering Parisian society–a fact not lost on the handsome and equally powerful Duke of Claymore, who determines to make her his wife. Despite the duke’s fervent interest, Whitney remains fixed on her childhood love. That is, until she finds herself tempted by the Duke–an attraction that both delights and baffles Whitney, causing her to be increasingly wary of what her heart may lead her to do. The Duke suffers no such confusion. He wants Whitney. And he plans to have her, despite a number of obstacles, including the infatuation Whitney seems to have for another; her aunt’s growing concerns; and her greedy father’s bungling efforts to control his beautiful daughter. But before the Duke and Whitney’s plans can reach fruition, they’ll have to work their way through a morass of misunderstandings that threaten any hope of a happy ending.
