The setting is refreshingly different as the novel takes place around the General Election of 1812. The hero is the son of an earl, it’s true, but the heroine is most definitely an “ordinary” woman, who, like many of the other townsfolk, is struggling to make ends meet while she is also caring for her sister, helping her brother-in-law to run the town newspaper and doing her bit for the local charities and organisations. Lemeston, presents us with a different take on the Regency Romance and paints a wonderful portrait of small-town life in early nineteenth century England. This book, the first in a series set in the town of Lively St. Sweet Disorder sees the very welcome return to the publishing world of Rose Lerner, whose two previous novels, In for a Penny and A Lily Among Thorns I enjoyed very much.
