The Songbird's Seduction by Connie Brockway

Of course, there are some tender moments that made me love this couple even more and every thing came together joyfully in the end! Reminiscent of some of Connie Brockway's earlier novels - this was just my speed! A real gem!4.Effervescent bon vivant Lucy Eastlake is a young operetta singer whose star is on the rise in Edwardian London. Now history is repeating itself and Lucy's not about to let Archie go! Believe me, I'm not doing this book justice, there's lots of laughs, both hero and heroine are adorably cute together and I really enjoyed this lighthearted romp. Lucy can't believe his name is Ptolemy so she decides to call him Archie - get it? Archie Grant! LOL! Anyway, their paths cross again when it turns out his grandfather once knew Lucy's great Aunt 50 years ago during the Indian Rebellion (funny how I just read a long, long book on the same Rebellion), they fell in love but nothing came of it after they were rescued. An anthropologist bent on getting his pen back (long story) is swept up in Lucy's cockamamie logic, so much so he is dumbstruck! It's all very funny. Lucy Eastlake a genteel operetta songbird with a zest for life, meets Ptolemy Grant at the Savoy bar and turns his world upside down. Review 2: I really loved this Edwardian Romance, which harkens back to the screwball comedies of the '30's. As usual, Brockway had me laughing out loud at the characters antics and kept me reading to see what else they would get up to.If you are a fan of the Edwardian era, this is the book for you!Thanks go out to Montlake Romance via NetGalley for a copy of the book in exchange of an honest review. Brockway did not disappoint!I liked that the heroine had a career that was a little racy for that time period and that she was attracted to a stuffy ol' professor who turned out to not be so stuffy after all.

more to deny the attraction they feel for each other?This story does not take place during the historical time periods I usually read, but since it was a Connie Brockway story I picked it up anyway. What happens when the straight-laced professor and the spunky operetta singer decide not. But when he encounters Lucy without her aunts, they must make the rest of the trip alone. Having denied his escort, Ptolemy goes after Lucy and her aunts anyway wanting to make sure they arrive in France safely.

Unfortunately, they must travel to France to get it.Just before embarking on their trip, Lucy meets Ptolemy Archibald the grandson of Lavinia's lost love from the siege. But soon that will all change when her aunt Lavinia comes into an inheritance (a fortune of rubies split amongst the survivors of a siege fifty years before). Now an operetta singer, she had been struggling to make ends meet for her family. Review 1: Lucy Eastlake has lived with her great-aunts since she was a child.
