One of my favourite things about this book is Delilah Marvelle's writing style, her romances are often grittier than the typical historical romance. They're certainly very passionate! And I love how one minute she can make me laugh, then I'm sobbing into my dressing gown... a lovely image, I know.
I tended to turn on and off with this story, a little bit. I enjoyed Georgia and Roderick/Robinson's (I'm just going to call him Robinson I think) meeting. It was flirtatious and his persistence and gentlemanly manner was sweet. When he suffers the loss of his memory, Georgia feels guilty and takes him under her wing, though it's clear he's from a different world than her. Robinson had a charming innocent quality, and was such a gentleman to her and all he met when he was staying with Georgia.
I liked Georgia, although I'll admit I didn't love her. She's sassy, witty, strong but with a heart of gold. She's grown up in poverty and lived with it her whole life. She's very admirable and dreams of heading west and starting a new life farming in Ohio. I feel like such a prude saying this, but she was so crass! I know, she's from the hard streets of poverty-stricken New York etc., and part of the charm is that she's very blunt- even so, I'd probably have liked her a bit more if she wasn't as full-on.
I loved Robinson. Although he's almost like a different person when he finally starts getting his memory back- but I liked Roderick (Robinson with his memory back) just as much! He loves Georgia too much to make her into someone she's not, and in the process make her miserable. He loves her enough to let go. Thankfully Georgia wouldn't leave his life without a fight!
I really enjoyed the section with the flashback of Robinson's life. It provided so much insight as to who he is, and how he became the person he is. Normally this would be woven throughout the story, but considering he didn't know who he was for the first half of the book I thought it was very well done.
When Georgia arrives in London, determined to claim her man; I was very pleased at her transformation. She's still Georgia, with all her sass and directness, but with the edges slightly softened. And in my head, I was like 'Yeah, you go get your man'...alright I said it out loud.
This section was a bit anti-climatic though. It felt that as soon as they were reunited, the attention of the book was shifted to Atwood, and then it was time for the epilogue.
I loved the introductions to the characters who will be the main focuses for the next two books in the Rumour series, and I can't wait to get started on those! Although I have a very strong urge to read Atwood's story (Robinson's Uncle) first, I will be good and read them in the proper order.
This book will make you laugh, gasp, cry and yell; but the emotional ride it takes you on is totally worth it. I can almost guarantee it'll leave you wanting more, and thankfully there is more! So I'm off to read book 2...or book 3.....no, book 2. I want to read Atwood's story so badly though!

Will I be the same person inside, if I change how I appear on the outside?

Format:Mass Market Paperback
When you come from poverty and live with it every day of your life, it becomes not only who you are but how you survive. For Georgia Milton a young widow makes her life thrive by doing tasks for others in the rugged streets of early 1800's New York. Survival is an existence but dreams are never forgotten and Georgia is determined to pursue hers. When she meets what she knows is a British aristocrat she tries to lose him knowing nothing good will come of this relationship. The circumstances that take this man from an unknown annoyance to living in her house still baffles Georgia but she is nothing if not responsible.
The man no longer knows his true name and thinks himself to be "Robinson Crusoe" which is even remotely possible. All this memory loss is due to an unfortunate accident, which Georgia feels was her fault since it occurred while he was defending her honor. There are many things she does not know but this man but Georgia believes there is a family looking for him. He is too refined and cultured to not have people that care for his existence, and want him back despite her not wanting to let him go. Georgia shows him how to survive on the streets where staying alive when the sun goes down is not as easy as it should be. "Robinson" adapts to his life with Georgia and each day finds them more than emotionally bound, as it is almost magical when they kiss.
Both Georgia and "Robinson" have dark secrets and hidden pain they keep tucked away so no one can see. They have the ability to heal and soothe the ache they both long for in a relationship but will that be allowed to happen. When the knock on the door comes with men who know, who "Robinson" really is and where he truly belongs, will he be able to keep the life he quickly created with Georgia or does his real life completely collide with hers? Both are up for a challenge but each wonders what decision is right - stay together or separate.
When a reader seeks historically accurate, romantically inclined, and dramatic excitement, always pick up a Delilah Marvelle book. This new series starts off with a jolt, taking the reader on a fast paced ride with so much going on you think you might get lost but Ms. Marvelle writes a tale so deep with description and detail you never miss a beat except maybe a few of your own heart beats as you prepare for the next adventure.

heart wrenching, nail-biting, funny and unbelievably passionate love story!

Georgia Emily Milton is one awesome heroine! I just loved her enthusiasm and straight forward manner. She was one strong and formidable female.
The life she led in Five Points, one of the slums of New York in 1830 America, was not easy for our heroine. But then, nothing ever came easy for this young and beautiful, but poor widow.
She was picked out of a coal bin as a teenager by her beloved Raymond who already was a father of two boys. After his death, she gets a hold of a dream of owning her own property out west, in Ohio and she's determined to save every penny, nickel and dime to do what her Raymond taught her she had a right to want: the universe.
A dream she never dreamt, and is no dream at all but a reality was the one in which she meets an attractive and wealthy man who she thinks can only see her as a "one night commodity".
This man approaches her and she finds him attractive, but the voice inside is telling her, he's not for her and he never could or would be. However, our hero would not be deterred, and slowly he gets her to smile and they both start flirting with each other and out of the blue a kid steps in and nabs Georgia's reticule. As both give chaise after the thief, our hero is waylaid and knocked unconscious by an omnibus.
Georgia is filled with guilt as she later finds out that the man is now suffering from memory loss and the only name he remembers and wants to be called is-Robinson Crusoe.
As she and the doctor that's treating him are trying to find who he is, she has no choice but to take him home to her tenement apartment.
She's aware that even with his memory loss, this man will be like a fish out of water in her world at Five Points,
I loved the scene in the hospital, in which she `prepares' his clothes and `repairs' his appearance for `her neighborhood'.
`Robinson' felt very protective of this young woman who selflessly gave him protection and security, when he felt most vulnerable and lost. His attraction to her was instantaneous, but he tried very hard to act a gentleman and he might have made it, if our heroine hadn't been one force of nature! One more thing I loved from the first scene to the last was the dialogue between the two! It made me laugh out loud and cry!
Ms. Marvelle gave me a romance that was scorching hot, yet tender. The attraction and the chemistry between the two sizzled and the love scenes were very sensual and steamy. She also took me on a journey from the slums of America to the high society of London and I enjoyed every minute of it!
I am thrilled to give this book my five quills and I'll never forget this story that takes two people who can't be more different in every way, yet their love and passion for each other was limitless and able to bridge every obstacle thrown their way.
Are you ready for a heart wrenching, nail-biting, funny and unbelievably passionate love story? If you are, grab yourself a copy and enjoy `Forever and a Day'.
