The Escape – the new Survivor’s Club novel from Mary Balogh! This series captured my attention from the moment I discovered The Arrangement was in my tote full of books at the 2013 RWA convention in Atlanta!
Historical romances are my guilty pleasure and I love treating myself to this one! The Escape is absolutely enchanting and I find it a perfect read for a summer holiday weekend. (and a fabulous reward for completing my latest round of edits).
From the back cover:
In this poignant novel of longing and salvation, a hopeful widow and a resilient war hero discover the promise of love’s magic and new beginnings.
After surviving the Napoleonic Wars, Sir Benedict Harper is struggling to move on, his body and spirit in need of a healing touch. Never does Ben imagine that hope will come in the form of a beautiful woman who has seen her own share of suffering.
After the lingering death of her husband, Samantha McKay is at the mercy of her oppressive in-laws—until she plots an escape to distant Wales to claim a house she has inherited. Being a gentleman, Ben insists that he escort her on the fateful journey.
Ben wants Samantha as much as she wants him, but he is cautious. What can a wounded soul offer any woman? Samantha is ready to go where fate takes her, to leave behind polite society and even propriety in her desire for this handsome, honorable soldier. But dare she offer her bruised heart as well as her body?
The answers to both their questions may be found in an unlikely place: in each other’s arms.
And!!! This edition also includes Mary Balogh’s charming short story, “The Suitor.”
Live the adventure!
