About Jen Geigle Johnson
Jen Geigle Johnson is an award winning author, including the GOLD in Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards. She discovered her passion for England while kayaking on the Thames near London as a young teenager. Now, she loves to share bits of history that might otherwise be forgotten. Whether in Regency England, the French Revolution, or Colonial America, her romance novels are much like life is supposed to be: full of adventure.
This sweet novella starts off so sadly I thought the author would have to jump ahead a decade at least to move past the grief and sorrow. It was a pleasant surprised to have the duke meet someone who just allowed him to grieve and begin to heal.
I loved the idea of Amelia being able to see into his soul by painting his eyes. There is great romance in that.
The story is short so everything moves quickly out of necessity. It was maybe a bit too convenient to have the secret from Amelia’s past come to light when it did but it was such a lovely Cinderella story I didn’t care. And I like this author’s writing.
No sex, language or violence
