5.0 out of 5 stars THE GOLDEN SEASON is a keeper. 2 Feb 2010
By Santa-smbslt - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I would highly recommend that you keep a space open on your keeper shelf for Connie Brockway's THE GOLDEN SEASON. I loved the heroine, Lady Lydia. She was smart, beautiful and wealthy in her own right until it is revealed to her that she doesn't have a feather to fly with. She's flat broke. There is only one thing for her to do in order to continue to keep her place in society. She must find a rich husband who can keep her in the lifestyle she to which she is accustomed.

Enter retired Navel officer Captain Ned Lockton. And what an entrance he makes. Tall, golden haired and delicious. He seems to have it all. Fame. Family. Fortune. Well, all except the last part. He, in turn, finds Lady Lydia breathtakingly beautiful. She has everything he is looking for in a bride. Fame. Family. Fortune -- except for that last part.

Now I don't want anyone to think these two are shallow and in love with their own consequence. Each has a strong sense of honor and duty for the people and family in their lives. Ned and Lydia find themselves falling in love long before they find out they each are penniless. They are passionately in love and it sizzles off the pages. But their newly discovered passion for one another isn't just about money or their physical attraction to one another. It's sooo much more.

Connie Brockway takes us along on Lydia and Ned's journey of discovery. Their new found love is tested and each make a life changing decisions. But are they the right ones? Are they destined to be together or be kept forever apart by circumstance? The best part of this book for me was seeing how Ms. Brockway told this part of the story. Just when I thought the end was near, she threw another curve. I am so glad she did.

I rejoice in Connie Brockway's return to historical romance. I think you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Guys Finish First! 21 Mar 2010
By Linda Banche - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I love this book! Ms. Brockway has written a first-class tale of love, honesty, and honor triumphing in that most artificial of all places, the Regency ton.

Lady Lydia Eastlake must wed for money. So must former Navy captain, Ned Lockton. Each appears the other's ideal--until they fall in love and discover the other is penniless. Honor pulls them toward other partners. Love pulls them together. You'll wonder how they will reconcile their differences in this page-turner, even though a happy ending is guaranteed in a romance.

When I read a romance, I have to like both hero and heroine. The heroine is usually no problem, and I like Lydia. But, all too often, the "hero" is a villain in disguise and I hate him.

Not so with Ned. Ned Lockton is that rarity in romance, a nice guy. Now, "nice" does not necessarily mean "wimp". Ned is a former Navy captain who was invalided out after a distinguished career, and now has the thankless job of rescuing his feckless family from penury. He's also young, gorgeous, and blond. (I like my heroes blond.) I adore him.

If you like a story that keeps you reading and guessing right up to the end, try THE GOLDEN SEASON. You won't go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five golden stars for an almost perfect romance. 2 Feb 2010
By Old Latin teacher - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
What a great time for romance readers, what with Laura Kinsale, Madeline Hunter and now Connie Brockway releasing romances within a week or so of each other. Ms Brockway's previous release, SO ENCHANTING, wasn't quite my cup of tea because of the paranormal elements involved, but this new one is very good. Here we have our extremely beautiful and wealthy heroine, Lydia, whose lavish lifestyle is famous in the ton, find out in the first page that she has lost everything. Our handsome hero Ned, recently retired naval captain, returns home to find his family (headed by his older brother, the Earl of Josten) in dire straits financially. Both H and H must find wealthy mates ASAP, before the ton realizes that they are poor. I suppose you can guess how this will end and you'd be right, but it's the journey to the end that is a delight. The characters, both main and secondary, are well developed and appealing. You might expect such a beautiful and wealthy woman as Lydia to be selfish and self-centered, but no such thing. And Ned is as noble of character as they come. The story begins in a very light-hearted manner with LOL (to me) situations and dialogue, but, somehow, as you get further and further into the book, you realize that this is a beautiful, heartfelt romance. And what a pleasant surprise for once to have a hero with enough self-control to keep his breeches buttoned even when he would rather not. (And, let's face it, when the heroine would also rather he not.) No, this does not mean no sex in the story. It just means that the romance here takes precedence over the sex. There is only one thing that bothered me in this book: Ned's behaviour at the beginning of the last chapter was as exasperating to me as it was to Lydia. But all's well that ends well, as they say, and the book is still a 5-star one for me.
