Let New York Times bestselling author Judith McNaught who “is in a class by herself” (USA TODAY) sweep you off your feet and into another time with her sensual, passionate, and spellbinding historical romance classics, featuring her “unique magic” (RT Book Reviews)—now available for the first time on ebook. In this unforgettable romantic adventure, a teacher of wealthy young ladies finds her life changed forever when she travels from the wilds of America to elegant London. Sheridan Bromleigh is hired to accompany one of her students, heiress Charise Lancaster, to England to meet her fiancé. But when her charge elopes with a stranger, Sheridan wonders how she will ever explain it to Charise’s intended, Lord Burleton. Standing on the pier, Stephen Westmoreland, the Earl of Langford, assumes the young woman coming toward him is Charise Lancaster and reluctantly informs her of his inadvertent role in a fatal accident involving Lord Burleton the night before. And just as the young woman is about to speak, she steps into the path of a cargo net loaded with crates. Sheridan awakens in Westmoreland’s mansion with no memory of who she is; the only hint of her past is the puzzling fact that everyone calls her Miss Lancaster. All she truly knows is that she is falling in love with a handsome English earl, and that the life unfolding before her seems full of wondrous possibilities.

You'd think being written in the exact same formula as all the rest of Judith McNaught's books would give it some kind of standardization, but unfortunately this rendition fell quite short. No character description felt the least bit genuine or realistic - the girl had no consistency to her personality, the main man (an earl), was quite repetitive in his dialogue (“she has spirit”, “such spirit”, “her wonderful spirit”, and so on. You get the point.) Having read Whitney, My Love, which shares the same main character pool, I can also attest that those characters have all suddenly lost any semblance to their former selves - Whitney, Claymore, et al.- and in this book are cardboard cutouts of kind, benevolent, and wise do-gooders that push the main couple together. Unless I read a completely different novel from Whitney, My Love, those words would never be used to describe Claymore. In fact, Nick DuVille was the most interesting and animated of them all, and all he did the entire book was stand next to pillars and smirk. I would say you're much better off reading “Almost Heaven”, which is far and away the best of McNaught's novels.
