Book Review - Shunned No More (A Lady Forsaken #1) - Christina McKnight

16099744
Title:  Shunned No More


Review:  A historical romance of the first water. I must congratulate the author on writing a historical romance that was well conceived, interesting, and without containing numerous explicit sexual encounters. Lady Viola Oberbrook was responsible for the death's of the twin sons of Lord Haversham,who were dueling each other for the privilege of courting her, during her first season. Her father banished her to the country to rusticate. Eight years later the current Lord Haversham, recently back from France and who does not know her, arrives to purchase some foals from her and the business she runs. From there the story begins to unfold. Will love overcome hate?

I would give this book a 4.5 star rating and I would read other offerings from this author.

I obtained this book from Amazon in Kindle format.

Synopsis:  A Lady Shunned by All…

Lady Viola Oberbrook only wanted to forget the ill-fated early morning duel that took the lives of two young, wealthy, promising men of the ton and sent her fleeing for her father’s country estate. Eight years later, she has her life in order: a fulfilling business, a few trusted friends, and no plans to return to London society. What she doesn’t expect is to come face to face with her past.

A Lord Betrayed by One…

Recently returned from his military service to the King, his plans include repairing his family estate, finding a bride, and destroying the girl responsible for the untimely death of his twin brothers.
