A Lady Unrivaled by Roseanna M. White
4.0
This review appears on my blog: https://confessionsofabookwormweb.wordpress.com/2016/10/01/blog-tour-and-giveaway-a-lady-unrivaled/
I really enjoyed this book, it was interesting to read a book set during the Edwardian era – I haven’t read a whole lot set during this time period. This is also the first Roseanna White book that I have read and I think it was a great introduction to the author.
I really enjoyed the mystery and the intrigue surrounding the “Fire Eyes” diamonds, I was left guessing as to what would happen regarding all the drama that seems to follow those who have been impacted to some extent by the diamonds and how different people react differently.
The characters were well developed and I really liked Lady Ella because she was so spunky and was constantly trying to prove that she could be an independent woman. I also enjoyed seeing her interaction with the other characters in the novel. I liked that she was realistic in some of the thoughts and “struggles” that she endures over the course of the novel. I also enjoyed Lord Cayton, although I felt like he was constantly focused on what he had done in his past – especially since he was continuously reminded of it – and it was frustrating.
Even though this novel is the last one in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. I really enjoyed the ploy, although sometimes it did tend to drag a little bit.
I am giving this book 4/5 Stars because I enjoyed it, although some of the characters did get on my nerves and there were some slow parts in the plot.
