The Indiscretion by Judith Ivory Avon, April 2001. Paperback, 369 pages. ISBN: 0380812967 Subgenre: Historical Ordering information: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk
In 1899 England, Lady Lydia Bedford-Browne is
tired of people treating her like she is an invalid, just because
she is the daughter of a Viscount. So Lydia decides to
slip out to attend the wedding of her faithful
lady's servant, which will involve a coach trip alone
across the moors of Dartmoor. Lydia's only other companion
in the coach is a handsome, wealthy Texan named Sam Cody
who has come to England to wed an English aristocrat.
Unfortunately, he missed his wedding and the lady in
question will not listen to his excuses. The unlikely pair
soon find some common interests and begin an affair when
their carriage gets stuck in a bog. But when they return
to civilization, things get sticky. Proper English society
frowns on a liaison between Lydia and a cowboy -- although
his wealth and position in the State Department go a long
way towards convincing Lydia's parents that the match
is a good one. But can Lydia and Sam rekindle the
sparks that flew on the English moors?
The Indiscretion is a sensuous, passionate and entertaining historical romance. Lydia and Sam are an engaging, if odd, couple and their time together on the moors makes for some very funny -- and sexy -- reading. Linda Ivory excels at snappy dialogue and at creating chemistry between her lead characters. Fans of the talented Judith Ivory will be wearing a smile on their faces long after putting the book down.
