A Scandalous
Journey -- Reviews
A SCANDALOUS JOURNEY by Susannah Carleton leads its readers on an
enjoyable journey, drawing back the curtains of London society's unbending
rules.
-- Angela Keck, Romantic Times
Debut author Susannah Carleton writes with a clarity and attention
to detail that is immensely satisfying, all the while managing to move her
story along at a seemingly rapid pace. Nothing is left dangling, yet the
complex plot keeps a steady momentum. Ms. Carleton thoroughly immerses one
in the Regency period and the affairs of her characters. Many minor characters,
real and imagined, contribute to the good-humored tone and over-all enjoyment....A
SCANDALOUS JOURNEY is a very fine example of the traditional Regency romance,
and one that shouldn't be missed. With her first book, Ms. Carleton joins
the ranks of the highly recommended.
-- Jane Bowers, Romance Reviews Today
Susannah Carleton's debut Regency, A SCANDALOUS JOURNEY, is a delightfully
entertaining story that moves along smoothly. The characters are interesting
and immensely likable (with the exception of the villainess, of course).
There is warmth, tenderness and humor in this very fine story. Ms. Carleton
demonstrates a talent and flair that will especially appeal to the many
fans of Heyer and Veryan.
-- Betty Cox, Reader to Reader
Ms. Carleton creates a delightful cast of characters in this dramatic
and sometimes humorous traditional Regency tale. George is presented
as an honorable, romantic hero, very protective of his loved ones, including
Beth. Beth can't help but start feeling tender toward the earl,
but is still confused by his impolite reaction to first meeting her.
Secondary characters, especially that of the Scottish maid, Moira, who
defects from Lady Arabella, are just as endearing as the main characters.
George's friend Elston begs for his own story to be told. Ms. Carleton
guarantees his tale will be forthcoming in February, titled THE MARRIAGE
CAMPAIGN....Don't miss this exciting and tender debut by the talented,
skillful Susannah Carleton!
