Summary
From: Rebecca Maney
Book Title: Legacy Redeemed
Book Author: Aubrey Grayson
What do you like about this book:
"What a shame. It might have been a lovely friendship."
Just like Cinderella's Prince Charming, Nick Daventry has just watched a most intriguing young woman disappear into the night, never having even discovered her name. Finding her crying in the Weston House library, instead of enjoying her evening on the dance floor, was a clear indication of her extreme distress. The lady seemed resigned to whatever predicament had been forced upon her, and Nick could only hope that their paths might cross again, that is, until he discovered where her hired carriage was taking her.
Susannah Blackmon cannot believe that she discussed her troubles with a perfect stranger, although he did seem to listen with genuine sincerity and even innocuously offered a plausible solution, if she could summon the courage to find the vicarage with the supposed "thinking cottage". Maybe she could become invisible long enough to escape the vile man determined to ruin her, or would running away simply delay the inevitable?
When Nick becomes reacquainted with the woman that he knows is claiming to be someone other than herself, he debates whether or not he can use the information to his advantage; after all she is quite lovely and she seems to have a knack for solving the puzzle of his inheritance. Perhaps the more appropriate question would be whether or not she will bring danger to his own front door. And why does it matter so much?
"Legacy Redeemed" has every component of a great story, and while the scene transitions may appear a little abrupt, the core of the story is so interesting and the author's writing voice is so pleasant and unique, that there is no doubt that the best is yet to come from author, Aubrey Grayson.
