    • Victorian Beauty and Beast
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

    • A Beauty and the Beast?
My Disclaimer: I was provided a free copy of this book by the author’s representative. I am providing an honest review in which all opinions are fully my own. I am not being compensated in any way. ~ Judi E. Easley for Blue Cat Review My Review: ✭✭✭ This is supposed to be another fairy tale re-tale. This time of Beauty and the Beast. Beauty is a young woman named Rosamund Ashfield, who has been so kindly taken in by her Aunt Lucretia’s family…and don’t you forget it, girl! The beast is by default, Aubrey Whittingham, Duke of Swanhaven, a man who has lost his parents and beloved sister and withdrawn from life to the point of ill health. Rosamund is ever so helpful to everyone. She doesn’t see bad in anyone unless it’s forced on her. For all her efforts, she gets the short end of the stick more often than not. Her cousins use her as the butt of their jokes. Her aunt holds her in contempt and can’t seem to say anything nice about her at all. Very few people know her circumstances, and there is no one to look out for her. Things change some for Rosamund once she befriends the Duchess, Aubrey’s grandmother. The Duchess asks Rosamund to help with her grandson. Initially, he absolutely can’t stand having her around and yells at her to go away and leave him alone. She’s been living with her cousins and Aunt Lucretia, so no sick little Duke is going to intimidate her! And she tells him so. Instead of polite conversation, they have arguments and trade insults back and forth. Their conversations are quite amusing at times as they go at it, attempting to insult each other. Invariably, of course, the worst wounding is done when it isn’t meant. Rosamund actually has some very tender feelings and Aubrey is always wounding her with his careless comments. Eventually, they reach a sort of teasing equilibrium in their relationship. And then they are off to London, the Duchess and Rosamund, at least. But not before Aubrey says a few things that put a sparkle into Rosamund’s eyes and heat into her cheeks. But she has to face her grandfather before she sees the Duke again. And her grandfather wants nothing to do with her. He disowned her mother when she married beneath her and had her baby. He’s in no mood to be forgiving to the next generation. Enough storytelling! What you want to know is whether the story is worth reading. Well, yes. I wouldn’t rush right out and buy it, but, yes, it is worth reading. Though it is a bit skimpy. Seems more like a play than a book to me. Aubrey and Rosamund are always walking out of the room or storming off on each other or leaving a note and disappearing. Exit stage left. I thoroughly enjoyed the early conversations and verbal dueling between Aubrey and Rosamund. These were really well written and revealed so much about the two characters. The Duchess was rather delightful, too. She set her plan in motion and then sat back and let it work, no micromanaging. When major plan changes were called for, she didn’t hesitate to implement them. Aunt Lucretia and her two daughters were just as awful as possible and still be accepted into a drawing room. And I haven’t mentioned a thing about a mannequin. And I’m not going to. I leave that for you to discover when you read the book. I have the second book, so I’m going to fit it into my reading time and see how the next one goes. Ms. Rogers has twelve books listed on Amazon with beautiful covers and very good ratings. Perhaps I need to read more of her work to really see her worth. Try this one, which is definitely worth reading and see if you add a new author to your list. ... show more

    • Absolutely loved it!
I am so glad to have started this book in the morning! If I had started it later, I would have missed a lot of sleep. It is a great story, Well written and able to convey romance without all of the sex! Thank you, Ms. Rogers!
