No. 53: Loving A Lost Lord

 Loving A Lost Lord by Mary Jo Putney

This is perhaps the best FREE book I have ever downloaded. I just got it because the spending freeze is back (boo) and I was getting desperate for something to read (aside from the literally hundreds and hundreds of actual books filling up my house) and it was a regency era romance novel. So I got it. And it was good! I read it straight through in one afternoon, completely ignoring my family and I didn't even make dinner.

It had oh so many good things that I enjoy - a very likable FMC, a slightly mysterious MMC, amnesia, a bad guy, fake deaths, real deaths (or are they fake), mystery, an explosion, secret spiritual/religious goings on, a threatening visit to the bad guys house, and an exciting group of close knit friends that would make up an excellent series if the author was so inclined. I will definitely have to see if she was. After the spending freeze of course.

I don't think I have ever read anything by this author before, but I am glad I got this book. I hope the rest of her books are as good as this one.

*Edited to add - it is a series! Called the Lost Lords! A brand new series with a brand new book released this very week! I am so excited, but I hate the stupid spending freeze. I will have to plead my case. Clearly books are as important as food and electricity. Right???
