Description

Acclaimed author Vanessa Riley infuses the ballroom settings of Regency England with hints of Demerara Island and Jamaican flair in Rogues and Remarkable Women, her series revolving around The Widow's Grace, a secret society of widows battling society to regain their money and a chance at love everlasting. In this sweeping, swoon-worthy second installment, a shipwrecked woman searches for her memories and becomes entangled with a conflicted nobleman who holds more answers than he realizes...

Masterminded by the ton's most clever countess, the secret society The Widow's Grace helps ill-treated widows regain their reputations, their families, and even find true love again--or perhaps for the very first time...

Surviving a shipwreck en route to London from Jamaica was just the start of personal maid Jemina St. Maur's nightmare. Suffering from amnesia, she was separated from

anyone who might know her and imprisoned in Bedlam. She was freed only because barrister Daniel Thackery, Lord Ashbrook, was convinced to betray the one thing he holds dear: the law. Desperate to unearth her true identity, Jemina's only option is to work outside the law--which means staying steps ahead of the formidable Daniel, no matter how strongly she is drawn to him...

Married only by proxy, now widowed by shipwreck, Daniel is determined to protect his little stepdaughter, Charlotte, from his family's scandalous reputation. That's why he has dedicated himself not just to the law, but to remaining as proper and upstanding--and boring--as can be. But the closer he becomes to the mysterious, alluring Jemina, the more Daniel is tempted to break the very rules to which he's dedicated his life. As ruthless adversaries close in, will the truth require him and Jemina to sacrifice their one chance at happiness?

Während Daniel Thackery, Lord Ashbrook beim Untergang der Minerva seine Frau verloren hat, hat bei dem gleichen Unglück Jemina St. Maur ihr Gedächtnis eingebüßt. Ohne Aussicht auf Besserung wurde sie in Bedlam untergebracht. Daniel hilft schon länger seiner Tante Lady Shrewsburry mit ihrem Kreis Widow‘s Grace bei der Unterstützung unterdrückter Frauen. Einige Zeit später befreit er für diese auch Jemina aus ihrer Haft. Diese hat sich seitdem such dieser guten Sache verschrieben. Bei einem ihrer nächtlichen Einsätze findet sie heraus, dass Daniel mehr über das Schiffsunglück und ihre Familie weiß und Ihr nicht verraten will. Eigentlich bin ich ein Fan von Amnesie Plots, aber die beiden Protagonisten und ihre Geschichte konnten mich nicht ganz überzeugen. Das große Geheimnis konnte man von Anfang an erraten. Die Ganze Geheimnistuerei ging viel zu lang. Die Geschichten um Willingham waren zu komplex und konstruiert und konnten mich nicht fesseln. Ich habe nur zu Ende gelesen, weil ich die ganze Auflösung wissen wollte. Erst das letzte Drittel des Buches ließ sich zügiger lesen.
