Book Description

1 Nov 2000
HE WAS A MAN WHO MADE THE RULES, WHILE SHE WANTED ONLY TO BREAK THEM . . . .

Grayson Hawthorne is everything blue-blooded Boston society admires--rich, ruthless, untainted by scandal.  While always keeping a tight rein on his emotions, he has never forgotten Sophie Wentworth, the spirited but awkward child who captivated his youth with music and a young girl's adoration.  But one night long ago, she left the city unexpectedly.  Now the toast of Europe, Boston's ugly duckling is returning home with the grace of a swan.

Through provocative performances, Sophie has found great fame as a concert cellist.  She hopes to keep her past and her new life a secret--until she discovers that her family has bargained her away to Grayson, the lonely boy she once loved--now a cold, forbidding man with the power to break her tattered heart.  At that moment, she vows to bring Boston . . . and Grayson . . . to their knees.

SWAN'S GRACE is the sophisticated, unforgettable story of a gifted but defiant woman and an unforgiving man who must find a gentleness in his soul to heal both their tarnished hearts.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great book on its own, or part of the trilogy! 25 April 2001
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book sounded quite boring when it was first recommended to me, but the further I read, the better it got. After reading this book several times, I now have the opinion that it is fantastic!. It can be a bit slow in places, but overall it is really good. I was a big fan of "Doves Way" and this is a great 2nd book in the trilogy. I cannot wait for "Nightingales Gate" to be published.

5.0 out of 5 stars Linda Francis Lee does it again! 8 Sep 2000
By Beachreader - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Linda Francis Lee has followed her wonderful DOVES WAY with the second book in the series about three Boston brothers and the women they love. In SWANS GRACE the heroine is a well-known cellist who has been summoned home from a European tour by her father. Several surprises await her, not the least of which is her home has been sold and . . . well, perhaps you'd be best off reading the book to discover the really shocking surprise! Suffice to say it changes her life -- but Sophie doesn't think for the better -- at first. Linda Francis Lee is an author of rare depth and talent. I'm told that to research this book she actually took cello lessons. Now *that's* dedication! Anyone who enjoys the novels of such authors as Betina Krahn or Susan Wiggs should enjoy this as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Enertaining Americana 10 Sep 2000
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
In 1892, American expatriate Sophie Wentworth takes Europe by storm as her exquisite musical talent thrills patrons throughout the continent. However, when her father asks Sophie to return to Boston, Sophie agrees. Sophie misses her home SWAN'S GRACE and has waited five years for her father to ask her to come back. She wonders how her stepmother will react when she returns to New England.

However, the States prove an immediate shocker when Sophie learns the hard way that her father sold SWAN'S GRACE without even informing her. Worse yet, he completed a business deal that has her engaged to attorney Grayson Hawthorne a person Sophie is attracted to but hates for betraying her. Grayson wants Sophie just as he did when she fled for the continent. However, Sophie tries to make Grayson hate her even as she falls deeper in love with her fellow Bostonian.

SWAN'S GRACE is an entertaining Americana romance that centers on love lost and love recovered. The story line is fun as Boston in the "Gay Nineties" seems real. The lead couple is a charming duet whose feelings for one another are hidden behind cold walls of distrust. Sub-genre fans will welcome Linda Francis Lee's latest tale and want to also read her fabulous DOVE'S WAY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing 31 July 2001
By Kathryn Wilson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I loved this book. I found it incredibly refreshing that this story had emotional depth as well as a compelling story. I also applaud the author for going the route less travelled and letting Sophie be less then innocent. I would recommend this book to anyone who is sick of the everyday romance novels- You will enjoy the story. Ive read all three books in the series and each one is wonderful.
