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

Title:  Shunned No More

Author:  Christina McKnight

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.
