5.0 out of 5 stars
A luring historical romance, 20 Mar 1999
By A Customer
In 1858, Mairey Faelyn loves traipsing all over the English countryside seeking anything related to the Celtic culture. Lord Jackson Rushmore, a leading industrialist, covets the legendary Celtic pin, Willowknot, which allegedly contains a map to one of the richest silver lodes in the country. Richard figures Mairey can provide him with the information he seeks. Richard forces Mairey to stay on his estate while working for him. They soon exchange hungry kisses and begin to fall in love with each other. Just as important, he begins to understand the deep desires for heritage that possess Mairey and her sisters. She begins to see the inner core of the hard shelled Richard. However, Mairey has vowed to protect Wiilowknot even as her wedding vows leave her in conflict. Is love enough to keep this relationship going when he demands her to surrender even as he fails to see the greatest treasure of them all is in his grasp. THE WEDDING NIGHT is a luring historical romance that provides readers a different look into mid-nineteenth century England. (Yes, Virginia there is more to the country than London.) The story line is loaded with a moral dilemma countered by humorous moments. The lead protagonists are a fine couple and her siblings augment the tale with jocularity and a reverence towards custom. Linda Needham, who already has fashioned a delightful resume (see HER SECRET GUARDIAN and FOR MY LADY'S KISS), provides sub-genre fans with an arousing and appealing Victorian romance.
