Product Description

DISCOVER THE WORLD OF LUCINDA BRANT, FREE FOR A LIMITED TIME

When the Earl of Salt Hendon marries squire's daughter Jane Despard, Society is aghast. But Jane and Lord Salt share a secret past of mistrust, heartache and misery. Four years on, they are forced into a marriage neither wants; the Earl to honor a dying man's wish; Jane to save her stepbrother from financial ruin. Beautiful inside and out, the patient and ever optimistic Jane believes love conquers all; the Earl will take some convincing. Enter Diana St. John, who has been living in a fool's paradise believing she would be the next Countess of Salt Hendon. She will go to extreme lengths, even murder, to hold the Earl's attention. Can the newlyweds overcome past prejudices and sinister opposition to fall in love all over again?

Australian Romance Readers Awards Finalist for Favorite Historical Romance of 2011.

  • Brant's talent is undeniable... dare I admit... I enjoyed Salt Bride more than many of Georgette Heyer's own beloved works and that is high praise indeed.
    --Courtney Webb, Stiletto Storytime
  • If you appreciate well researched, beautifully plotted and engaging romance then this is the book for you. I've ploughed through many Georgian romances that are advertised to be: 'just like Georgette Heyer' or 'simply fantastic' and haven't managed to plough through the first 100 pages. Here there are no cliche's, no references to autumn as 'fall', pavements as 'sidewalks' or 18th century dukes wearing 'pants'

  • Ms. Brant is a genius for dialogue! I was gasping and laughing nearly the entire time.  ...I highly recommend this book! I was entertained to the fullest while reading, and can honestly say I haven't read a book that hooked me like this one did in quite some time
    --Eliza Knight, History Undressed

I discovered Lucinda Brant's novels through a hist.fict blog and read Deadly Engagement first. I have now read all bar Autumn Duchess and am delighted to have found well-researched, well plotted novels with dimensional protagonists and brilliantly amusing secondary characters. I read my first Georgette Heyer last year and Brant's novels followed close on the heels of the acknowledged Georgian romance queen. Brant can justifiably stand next to Heyer, if not in place of her. I found her language and dialogue perfectly suitable, her settings richly authentic and her research generally to be of the highest quality.
I recommend every one of her novels, especially Salt Bride.

If you appreciate well researched, beautifully plotted and engaging romance then this is the book for you. I've ploughed through many Georgian romances that are advertsed to be: 'just like georgette heyer' or 'simply fantastic' and haven't managed to plough through the first 100 pages. Here there are no cliche's, no references to autumn as 'fall', pavements as 'sidewalks' or 18th century dukes wearing 'pants'.

I admit I hadn't heard of the author so hesitated before buying but now I've read the book I can't understand why she isn't better appreciated.

BEAUTIFUL LOVE STORY 19 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I absolutely loved this novel, my first by Lucinda Brant, but definitely not my last.

The period was well researched, but more importantly, the plot was good and didn't have the predictably of a lot of romance novels. The storyline just drew me in and kept me captivated from the start to when I finished in just a few days.

The wealth of characters, and there are many weaved into this novel, could only be achieved by a talented author, and was a challenge just remembering who was who I truly enjoyed. Oh I loved Squires daughter Jane Despard, the heroine who was beautiful both inside and out, but more importantly for me was, she was straight talking with no malice or cynicism.

The sexy Earl of Salt Hendon, Lord Magna Salt, described as a bear sized Earl, such a refreshing change from the slim hipped hero of most romance novels just increased his desirability. I started off hating him but soon grew to love him.

But Lucinda Brant doesn't stop there, all the characters are well crafted and believable from Diana St. John like a pantomime baddie. Her wonderful children Ron and Merry St. John to Jane's kitten Viscount Fourpaws - his fluffy lordship! Just brilliant.

There are so many aspects of the storyline which I absolutely loved but I don't want to give any spoilers. So, what I will say is this is the best and most enjoyable novel I've read in a while, (I read many) and I highly recommend this book and author.
