Employed his tutor, she begins teaching Jack the ways of high society, but she quickly discovers that this dashing sailor is brash and bold, opinionated and passionate. Can a rough-and-tumble captain be transformed into a gentleman of society? Jack must impress the aristocracy, or else his mother and sister will remain in poverty. But then his grandfather, the Earl of Stansworth, names Jack as his heir - with a caveat. Jack Eliot dreams of being the captain of his own ship. Readers should begin with My Fair Gentleman first and then The Secret of the India Orchid. This book is another great historical romance that entertains from page one all the way until the end, albeit with characters other than stuffy old societal types. I enjoyed The Secret of the India Orchid by Nancy Campbell Allen so much that I decided to try another book by this author. Similar Read: The Scotsman And The Spinster
Allen decided to write in the Regency era, she's a natural! I look forward to reading hopefully a lot more books from her! If you enjoy Regency's give this one a try! I thought this was a fun read, so glad Ms. I thought they had good chemistry and it was fun watching them together. He gives Ivy a hard time and it was fun watching their sparks fly. Jack Elliot was a likable hero, broody on the outside and kind on the inside. To say he is not happy about giving up the sea and the possibility of captaining his own ship to be a Lord is an understatement. Her world is turned upside down when her next pupil turns out to be an attracted sailor who has just inherited a title. She takes her role so seriously that she even anonymously writes edicate guidelines and helps tutor young girls about to make their debut into society. Every since her sister shamed the family, she feels its her duty to be the perfect society miss. Lady Ivy Carlisle is everything that is proper, she lives her life conforming to societies strict rules and pretends to be happy about it. When I found out one of my favorite authors was writing a new book in my favorite genre I may have done a little happy dance! I have really been looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint. This has been nominated for a 2016 Swoony Award.
