The Elusive Miss Ellison (Regency Brides: A Legacy of Grace#1) by Carolyn Miller -- Review + Giveaway

About the Book

Pride, prejudice and forgiveness...
Hampton Hall's new owner has the villagers of St. Hampton Heath all aflutter--all except Lavinia Ellison. The reverend's daughter cares for those who are poor and sick, and the seventh Earl of Hawkesbury definitely does not meet that criteria. His refusal to take his responsibilities seriously, or even darken the door of the church, leave her convinced he is as arrogant and reckless as his brother--his brother who stole the most important person in Lavinia's world.

Nicholas Stamford is shadowed by guilt: his own, his brother's, the legacy of war. A perfunctory visit to this dreary part of Gloucestershire wasn't supposed to engage his heart, or his mind. Challenged by Miss Ellison's fascinating blend of Bluestocking opinions, hoydenish behavior, and angelic voice, he finds the impossible becoming possible--he begins to care. But Lavinia's aloof manner, society's opposition and his ancestral obligations prove most frustrating, until scandal forces them to get along. 

Can Lavinia and Nicholas look beyond painful pasts and present prejudice to see their future? And what will happen when Lavinia learns a family secret that alters everything she's ever known?

Review

I am a huge fan of regency romance novels, so when I was given the opportunity to review Carolyn Miller’s debut regency novel, The Elusive Miss Ellison, I was thrilled.  This is a splendid and delightful regency-romance that readers will absolutely love.  From page one, Miller captures the attention of her readers with her charming characters and enjoyable story.  This was everything I expected from a regency novel.  The story was well-written and entertaining, pleasant, and even funny at times.  And I know a book should not be judged completely by it’s cover, but I am in love with the cover of this book!!  This is an easy and light read that I would recommend this splendid novel to readers that enjoy regency historical romance.
