Now here’s a little more about the book:<\/p>\n

A tarnished reputation. A distant home. A forced engagement to a dangerous man. When Elizabeth Trelawny flees London, she has more than one reason to run. And when her carriage, pursued by her would-be fianc\u00e9, is caught in a storm, she quickly accepts the help of a dark stranger. Anything to get back to Cornwall.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>
\n Rowan Curnow is not exactly a stranger. Not quite a gentleman either, class disparity once kept him from courting Elizabeth . . . even if it didn\u2019t keep him from kissing her.<\/em>
\n The couple elude their pursuers and reach Bastian Point, Elizabeth\u2019s future inheritance and the one place she calls home. But in the very act of spiriting her to safety, Rowan has jeopardized Elizabeth\u2019s inheritance—if her Grandfather ever learns she spent the night, however innocently, in the company of a man.<\/em><\/p>\n

When smugglers unite the pair in a reckless, flirtatious alliance—an alliance that challenges the social norms that Elizabeth has been raised to revere and rattles Rowan\u2019s fledgling faith in God—Elizabeth must choose between the obedience of a child and the desires of a woman: whether to cling to the safety of her family home or follow the man she loves.<\/em><\/p>\n

A Lady’s Honor<\/a> received 4 1\/2 stars from The Romantic Times<\/em>, which said, “Beautiful 19th century Cornwall offers a contemplative setting for this dramatic romance that involves murder, suspense and a surprise villain. \u00a0Elizabeth and Rowan are both on a journey to discover that they are worthy of love.”<\/p>\n

And Publisher’s Weekly<\/em> stated,\u00a0\u00a0\u201cEakes delivers beautifully written romantic suspense set in Cornwall during the Regency era.”<\/p>\n

As I’ve personally come to expect from Laurie Alice Eakes, the suspense in A Lady’s Honor<\/a> is riveting, and you can’t help sympathizing with Elizabeth’s plight right from the beginning. You certainly won’t find me complaining about the American hero either. Furthermore, the Cornish setting is beautiful and seems like a breath of fresh air when compared to the endless Regency books set in London.<\/p>\n

Today’s quiz question:\u00a0\u00a0A Lady\u2019s Honor<\/a> is set in the romantically beautiful and wild county of Cornwall, England. I\u2019ve wanted to go there since I read my first book set in that remote county. Have you ever visited or wanted to visit a setting for a book you loved?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Be sure to come back Thursday for a post about the history surrounding A Lady’s Honor and another chance to win.<\/p>\n
