Clean, Charming and Cozy

Revisado: 11-18-15

I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one and I thought the narration was wonderful. His voice is warm and wry and I thought the performance was really engaging and nuanced. You don’t need to read the first to enjoy this… but they certainly enhance each other. I loved Lord Grenville’s Choice, and this book creates an entirely fresh and engaging romance narrative while still weaving together characters from the previous book. Vandagriff has created an endearing heroine in Delia – a kind of British Anne of Green Gables spirit who is on the run from an abusive guardian uncle. Lord John is a great lead character – and Vandagriff has written him struggling severely from the trauma of the war and his place in society – it gives depth to the obstacles between to the two characters. The author does a really nice job of spinning a cozy yarn with a kind of serial feel. You feel sure that things will turn out all right in the end, but the journey there is a delightful romp. If you are looking for a sweet and charming romance filled with Regency charm without any bodice-ripping, you’re sure to enjoy.

A perfect match from a mediocre marriage.

What did you love best about Lord Grenville's Choice?

I really enjoyed that it was a fresh spin on a period romance. I'd never read a book that took a couple that were already together and explored how social confines, and the dictates of advantageous marriages etc. could serve as an obstacle to discovering the true person to whom you are wed. It was engaging and I really loved the alternating points of view.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Felicity - I think she's a great character that you real feel for - she totally holds up to the Jane Austen/Jane Eyre kind of strong female character who has an inner life totally at odds with her outer experience.

What does Joel Froomkin bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

A lovely range. I thought the way he approached both lead characters was lovely. A lot of male narrators struggle to make a female lead character seem emotionally accessible and not silly... I had no issues here. He gave a subtle performance that gave depth to the story...and in places he was quite witty.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

It's easy to choose love. If you know where to find it.
