Book source ~ Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington for providing a review copy. Honoria ‘Nora’ Duchamp runs her family’s bookstore and even though she has a Duke in her family tree she’ll never be seen as more than a widow of the merchant class and below the station of her patrons. When Lord Devin stops in to her store one day and then begins to flirt with her, she is taken aback. What could the young and handsome Devin want with her? And why is she suddenly daydreaming of things that could never happen? Lord Alexander Devin is a Viscount and 14 years younger than Nora. When he is sent to investigate a widowed bookstore owner he expects a dried up old hag. Instead, he gets the intelligent and beautiful Nora and he’s intrigued. Unfortunately, he’s stuck in an impossible situation and must continue to lie to her as to his true intentions. Is there hope for this unusual pairing? What about the lies each are withholding from the other? They seem doomed from the beginning and yet there is hope. This historical romance was a little different from the usual fair since the heroine is older than the hero by a considerable number of years. Well, what was thought to be considerable then and even to some people today. The age and station difference creates a lot of conflict, but it’s the reason behind Alex’s original visit that is the true problem. Alex, for the most part, is wise beyond his years, but in this one thing he doesn’t really use his head. But then again we’re talking the 1800s, where the man was the head of the household and he was supposed to take care of his family and not worry the females he was responsible for with unpleasant business. Nora is too stuck on the fact she is older than Alex, but here again, we’re talking the 1800s where it was virtually unheard of for a wife to be older than her husband. A mistress, yes, but not a wife. A wife is expected to provide her husband with an heir and she’s too old for that even if she could buck tradition and marry Alex. All-in-all a solid historical romance with great characters and an intriguing storyline. NEVER TOO LATE by Amara Royce is an intriguing Victorian Historical Romance set in 1851 London. Filled with secrets,passion,danger,betrayal,deception and love. Can a female bookstore owner and a Viscount find happiness? Honoria Duchamp "Nora" is an older woman,and Lord Devin,a younger Viscount who are forced to confront their growing feelings.

HTML:Expect the unexpected, especially in a room filled with books... Honoria Duchamp is well aware that men often consider widows easy prey for the role of mistress. What else could explain the attentions of handsome Lord Devin, and his visits to her bookshop? The much younger Viscount has even shown interest in the printing press with which she creates pamphlets on London's basest injustices. Yet his chief interest appears to be in her... Coerced to investigate Nora's controversial pamphlets, Devin expected to find a bookish matron. Instead, he is taken with Nora's womanly beauty, sharp intellect, and quick wit. Soon, what begins as an unwelcome task becomes a pleasure, and Devin's job becomes more dangerous--for them both. For Nora has no idea of the vicious element she's crossed. Now Devin will risk his reputation to protect her--and much more to win her love... 76,129 Words. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

It makes for an interesting and very entertaining romance filled with drama and suspense as well as some fascinating characters that will stay with you for some time.
Please don't let the difference in their ages deter you from reading this story. The age difference between Nora and Devin is what makes this story so compelling.
I highly recommend it!
