Product Description

Product Description

Once the darling of the beau monde, Georgette Lady Beaumont’s reputation lies in tatters after the apparent suicide of Lord Brockenbury’s heir. Shunned by society she embraces a secretive lifestyle in which she endeavours to evade Adam Brockenbury, whom she loathes as much as he desires her. Believing him capable of murder to gain his heart’ desire, she is not alone in thinking his elder brother’s death as somewhat suspicious, and whilst on a clandestine visit to her dearest friends she encounters a stranger of note.

Her travelling companion, although of charming disposition and of considerable handsomeness, something about him airs dark and secretive but unmitigated mutual attraction exists that neither can deny. Unfortunately he’s a Brockebury too, and as love, jealousy and hate take precedence, three murders are committed and Georgette quite believes she will be the murderer’s next victim, but who is the real murderer?

5.0 out of 5 stars A nugget of a read, a treasure. 29 Feb 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Every now and again I come across a book that I want to squeeze because I love it so much.
Infamous Rivals is just such a book.
The heroine, Georgette, through no fault of her own is trying to keep a low profile, but a twist of fate puts her in the direct path of the harm she is trying to avoid. As events unfold we find our heroine in every increasing peril...
The joy of this book is the author's skill in immersing the reader in time and place. She doesnt rely solely on description to create atmosphere, but writes a form of language used at the time to add depth to the drama.
I would definately recomment "Infamous Rivals" - especially to lovers of Jane Austen.

1.0 out of 5 stars Shortage of Verbs 26 Feb 2012
By Bookwoman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I found this book unreadable. It took me a couple of pages to realize that this book was frequently lacking in the most basic of English "helping verbs." In addition, the author's attempts at formal phrasing left me shaking my head trying to clear the fog. For example

-"He was as she had seen a man of broad shoulders yet slim of form and goodly height belied when seated."
-"his eyes were dark blue and a wicked twinkle therein"
-"Though his smile enough to melt the coldest of lady's heart and somehow as reassuring as were his final words: 'Be assured your presence at Fenemore will not slip my tongue.' "

I simply gave up.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unreadable 2 Oct 2012
By Deb Guay - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The lack of the most basic editing in this book made it unreadable. The grammar and sentence structure were so poor it was almost impossible to follow the plot, so I gave up after 50 or 60 pages. The plot and characters seemed interesting, but it wasn't worth plodding through the terrible prose.
