I received a copy of THE ELUSIVE MISS ELLISON by Carolyn Miller from
Kregel in exchange for an honest review. It is the first installment in the
Regency Brides: A Legacy of Grace series.
This book is delightful! I have
been sick since February (a cold that just will not go!), so I settled down on
the couch thinking to read through this over the space of a few days. Imagine my surprise when it sucked up my
entire day and left me wanting more!
The Regency world comes alive for Carolyn Miller. I’ve read Regency romances before, and they
have never transported me the way THE ELUSIVE MISS ELLISON did. It is strongly reminiscent of Jane Austen’s
works. When compared to those other Regencies I’ve read, I found these
characters had more depth and dimension.
The personalities are vibrant. They weren’t just focused on the
romance. This book is also free of
smut. (It can be considered Christian
fiction) Granted, I knew what I was
getting with some of those other Regency Romances. The covers involved a shirtless man in most
cases. Without the smut, I found this
book to offer much more adventure and heart.
I have a friend with the last name of Ellison, so I pictured her as
Lavinia Ellison while I read.
