The Dishonorable Miss DeLancey by Carolyn Miller

Oct9

Trust. Pray. Believe

The Dishonorable Miss DeLancey by Carolyn Miller is a most delightful Christian historical romance which I adored. It is the third book in the Regency Brides series and can be read as a stand-alone. However for maximum enjoyment and to understand the character development, it would be best to read the previous two books.

Once again Carolyn Miller has spun a fabulous tale. There is adventure, jealousy, kidnap, revenge and good old fashioned love. Over it all there is God. A God who “answer[s] even unspoken prayers.” A God who is closer to us than we realise and who desires to know us.

The novel is about restoration, second chances and new beginnings. As characters come to know Jesus, they get their priorities in order. Life is not about money and power, it is about people and passion.

Choosing To Praise

The Captivating Lady Charlotte by Carolyn Miller is a delightful Christian romance. It is the second book in the Regency Brides series and I absolutely loved it. It can be read as a stand-alone but I enjoyed catching up with familiar characters. The book is a blend of Jane Austen meeting Daphne Du Maurier with a fabulous plotline, wonderful characters and compulsive action – including duels, liaisons, love triangles, class snobbery, jealousy, adventures – a perfect mix to capture the reader’s attention and imagination.

The leading characters are unique. Both having their strong traits interwoven with insecurities. Life in 1814 demanded social conformity. The hero and heroine defied conventions, being forward thinkers with hearts for the poor and marginalised. The hero was a forward thinker embracing new ideas in agriculture and road building.

The Elusive Miss Ellison by Carolyn Miller

Wonderfully Refreshing

The Elusive Miss Ellison by Carolyn Miller is the most delightful Christian historical romance. It is a debut novel  and the first in the Regency Brides series which promises to be wonderful.

The novel is very reminiscent of Jane Austen’s Pride And Prejudice, my favourite read, with prejudices and misunderstandings as well as the desire of mothers to make good matches for their daughters.

Carolyn Miller has drawn some wonderful characters. Her heroine is a very modern lady for 1813, with a social conscience. Her forward thinking enables children to be educated. She gives of herself both physically and materially. Her heart rules her head in matters of the poor.
