  • Sweet Victorian Romance for Young Adults
Format: Kindle
"The Mannequin" by S.G. Rogers is a delightful Victorian romance novel for young adults, loosely based on several fairy tales. The story itself is unique. Rosamund is an orphaned poor relation living with her maternal aunt's family. Although she is the granddaughter of a Viscount as well, she is treated as an extra member of the household staff, rather than as a family member. Rosamund is left behind on the family estate when the others leave for the London Season. Her uncle arranges with the local vicar for Rosamund to "earn her keep" while the family and all their servants are in town. But after the family leaves, Rosamund learns from the vicar that she is wanted at the home of the dowager Duchess of Swanhaven as a companion to her son the Duke. The duke is deeply depressed after the loss of his family in a disaster at sea. Slowly, she begins to bring the Duke of Swanhaven out from the depths of his despair. The Duchess decides to take Rosamund to London for the remainder of the Season, calling in the most fashionable modiste to create a suitable wardrobe for high society functions. However, when the Duchess takes Rosamund to call on the girl's grandfather, the Viscount refuses to acknowledge Rosamund's relationship to him. Embarrassed to no end, Rosamund leaves the Duchess's London home to make her way own her own. After failing to find work, Rosamund reports to the fashion designer that she is unable to pay for the clothing that has been specifically designed for her, since her grandfather has refused to support her. Rosamund asks the modiste how she can settle her debt for the apparel the Duchess has ordered for her. Astonished at the cost of the clothes, Rosamund is enlisted to become a mannequin, or model, for the designer's shop. As a mannequin, Rosamund is renamed Miss Belle, and is escorted on the town by a fashionable gentleman, who introduces her to all the finest of society and takes her to spectacular London events. Her job is to show off the beautiful styles designed expressly for her, and generate sales for the modiste. A portion of her sales go to towards paying off her debt to the woman. But of course, she runs into her family in the city, who seek to destroy her reputation and any chance at romance. Will Rosamund be able to find a way to support herself? Is a good marriage a possibility without the social connections needed to make a good match? All is revealed in the marvelous novel "The Mannequin" by S.G. Rogers. Enjoy! ... show more

  • Victorian Beauty and Beast
Format: Kindle
Rosamund is the ward of her Aunt Gribble since her parents died several years before. The Gribbles treat her as but a servant, with daughters Fanny and Beulah being extra obnoxious. Only eldest cousin Vivian is at all kind. With the younger Gribble girls leaving for their first season, her uncle has had the Vicar arrange employment for her during the time that they are gone. Rosamund is left behind with no servants to fend for herself and the job is helping the local Duke recover from the tragic loss of his parents and younger sister. When Rosamund first sees Aubrey, the Duke of Swanhaven, he is almost catatonic. The only sign that he isn’t is the nervous tying and untying of a rope in his hands. He is unkempt and likely hasn’t bathed in weeks. Self-starvation has led to sunken cheeks and gaunt features. Rosamund is momentarily frozen with shock over how ill he is. But she soldiers on. The times that he is venomous, she doesn’t take to heart and her kindness soon starts to pierce Aubrey’s deep cloud of depression. By the time that Aubrey is well on his way to recovery, the pair have fallen in love, even though no real promises are given. Rosamund and Aubrey’s grandmother set off for London, planning to present Rosamund to her grandfather and get him to acknowledge her. When they confront Lord Ingram, he declares that Rosamund’s mother was barren, which means that Rosamund is not just a little unsuitable, but totally so. Rosamund flees and ends up working as a modiste’s mannequin, promenading about town with a popular dandy, to garner interest in the modiste’s latest creations. Rosamund is quite good at her job and her life is beginning to look up when she and Aubrey are reunited. Mannequin is a good, lighthearted read. It’s a clean romance. It’s characters are enjoyable, events flow smoothly and the story doesn’t drag. Rosamund and Aubrey’s romance is believable; it grows out of genuine affection. There is a slight love triangle but never one that truly threatens our HEA. One of the themes throughout the book was that family is more than blood and events (and the ending) have this lesson reaffirmed for our characters. My one complaint is the ending. I wish that there had been an epilogue, where we could have seen the horrid Gribbles get their comeuppance and our couple’s HEA in progress. Instead, we’re left with a wrap up that is just a little too fast to be wholly satisfying. It hints at good things to come but leaves a few subplots unresolved. ... show more
