After the threat is neutralized, his rescuer faints. Jordan Townsende, the Duke of Hawthorne, is being held at gunpoint when a knight comes crashing out of the trees and flies headlong into one of his attackers. From the road, a gunshot sounds, spooking Alex’s horse into careening towards the conflict. After attending her best friend’s brother’s birthday party, which is set up as a tournament, Alex rides home in her family’s old suit of armor, holding a shield and lance. Despite all this, Alex loves her life, seeing all the good in it. While I certainly liked the book, I just wasn’t as blown away as I have been by several of her others.Īlexandra Lawrence is a carefree, optimistic young woman who has the unfortunate burden of taking care of her eccentric household, which includes a deaf butler, a blind footman, a frequently drunk bottom-spanking uncle, and an overdramatic and bitter mother. In fact, I haven’t touched it since I read it that first time and so I thought I would have another go to figure out why that is. When I think of the author, Paradise, Perfect, and A Kingdom of Dreams instantly pop into my mind as beloved favorites, yet I rarely think about my very first McNaught, Something Wonderful. Like most romance readers, I have read many books by Judith McNaught and have loved several of them.
