Book Synopsis
As Arthur Bremerton, Lord Mather hurries to the opening session of Parliament, he is incensed to find his way blocked by a boisterous group protesting for women’s rights. But his annoyance turns to mortification when he finds his own cousin among their ranks, alongside a beautiful suffragette who engages him in a fierce battle of words and wills.
Emmeline’s fight for equality is just one facet of her wide-ranging interests. At the moment, her most pressing concern is how she and her mother, an eccentric Baroness, are to begin again after the family’s fortune was squandered following her father’s death. After her heated disagreement with Lord Mather, the only thought she gives the infuriating man is the hope that they will never meet again. But alas, this hope is in vain: unbeknownst to them, both Emmeline and Arthur are to be guests at a three-week house party, and fate seems determined to throw them together at every opportunity.
My Review
Emmeline is a Regency Novella that takes place during a time when women had their place in society and they were "encouraged" to stay there. I love the main character Emmeline who fights for equal rights for women. She is strong, but not so much that I disliked her. One day she encounters a stuffy man of Parliament at a rally. They get into a spat of sort. Little do they know that soon, they will meet again at a house party. I enjoyed all of the happenings at the house party such as the games and plays they participated in. It was a fun natural way for these two very different people to get together. Even though this is a novella, I have to say honestly it doesn't feel like one. The characters are strong, the interaction is lively, and the romance is clean and sweet.
This novella comes before the full-length novel, Solving Sophronia, written by the same author and coming out very soon. This makes me so excited to read that next. I recommend this novella and greatly enjoyed it!
