A review by mandygris
Lady Beauchamp's Proposal by Amy Rose Bennett

4.0

I love that this story pushed aside the shining backdrop of Regency romances - the fêtes and whist games, clandestine garden kisses, and countryside parties - for a look at the uglier side of the time. It trended more towards being a Gothic novel, in my opinion. The protagonist's husband has syphilis from being a cheating cur, is dying and wants to beget an heir, and so she runs away to save her life. That's a pretty great start for a book. The settings are beautifully described - especially the castle in Scotland. I do recommend this.

As an aside - yet another book I wish had a better cover. Poor Lady Beauchamp has a positively Exorcist vibe going on, what with that photoshopped head and all.
