Kit and Elizabeth: A Regency Romance by Karen Tuft

4.0

The Duke and Duchess of Marwood are terrible people. Anyone who's anyone in society knows it. Their daughter, Lady Elizabeth Spaulding, has coped with her parents by being as close to perfect as she can be. After two failed engagement attempts, initiated by her parents, Lady Elizabeth's life falls apart. Her father leaves Elizabeth and her mother to fend for themselves while he tries to hide from creditors. After a lonely year of solitude, they receive the news that the Duke of Marwood has passed away. Just when Lady Elizabeth thinks things cannot possibly get worse, she is surprised to find Lady Walmsley and the Earl of Cantwell at Marwood Manor to take her to London.
What happens next is an adventure that Lady Elizabeth didn't think would ever happen. Having never been encouraged to have feelings or thoughts of her own, she is now overwhelmed at times by all the decisions she has to make, and how freeing it can be to experience feelings.
Elizabeth discovers how much of life she has been missing, and sets out to learn what she truly enjoys. Along the way, she is courted, and stands up for herself, and discovers that she is of worth.
This is a lovely read for anyone who enjoys romance, and self-discovery.
