When Colin Cavendish, the new earl of Drayson, informs Lucy Beresford that she and her mother need to vacate the house they’ve called home for the past two years, Lucy is fit to be tied. They have no money, no relations they can turn to for help, and nowhere to go. How dare the earl break the promise his father had made to the Beresfords without so much as a twinge of conscience?
Fate plays into her hands when Lucy discovers the earl unconscious and injured in the middle of the road. When he awakens with no recollection of who he is, Lucy seizes the opportunity to teach the earl a much-needed lesson in humility and tells him that he is nothing more than a mere servant. Her servant, in fact.
And thus begins the charming tale of a pompous lord and an impetuous young woman, caught together in a web so tangled that it asks the question: Will they ever get out?
Like everyone of us Lucy is delightful. Like everyone of us, Lucy tries to be truthful. But like all of us, Lucy has a temper. Lord Drayson comes off as uncaring and overbearing. After giving notice, that Lucy & her mother will be removed from the dowager house at Tanglewood, Lord Drayson is angry about the way the girl provoked him at the door, and takes a spill from his horse in the rain. Lucy and her servant find him and take him home. When he wakes up and starts demanding things, but can’t remember who he is…
Absolutely Perfect I have loved Rachel Anderson’s romantic comedies, and was very excited to see that she was branching out into regency romance. The Fall of Lord Drayson did not disappoint.Â
Lucy made a whopper of a lie and now she has to figure out how to undo it! I loved The Fall of Lord Drayson. The story line is so cute!Â
