Scandal, passion and secrets--a most Victorian Affair in Book 2 of the Accidental series by Michelle Willingham When Stephen Chesterfield, the Earl of Whitmore, awakes to find a beautiful woman... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Unlike one previous review, I found this book to be a good mystery with a little romance and sex mixed in -- but very little really. OK, I'm a man who does not normally read romance novels. I realize they are not written primarily for men. But I am a reader of Michelle Willingham, and of the books by her that I have read, this was by far my favorite. The writer of the one negative review is right about one thing: Many of Emily Chesterfield's worries would be solved if she would just have an honest conversation with her husband, and I also get frustrated when she acts so stupidly. But that seems to be typical for characters in these types of books. I was far more interested in the mystery than in the romance. That's primarily why I kept reading. I wanted to learn what exactly was going on and how it was going to be resolved. The book also takes place in 19th century England which to me in a lot more interesting than 12th century Ireland where Willingham's previous books were set. With this book, I am convinced Willingham expanded her horizons and moved toward a genre that will appeal to readers onf non-romance novels. JB

This was an enjoyable read. I could relate with the heroine in that I would be furious if my hero had forgotten he married me. I read a book for enjoyment and to take me back to a time in history where you can put yourself into the book and relate to the characters. This was Michelle Willingham's best book yet!
