Falling In Love Again: Cathy Maxwell

A BRIDE SCORNED

“Highborn country heiress Mallory Edwards was dutifully fulfilling family obligations when she exchanged marriage vows with a dashing gentleman she barely knew. But the charming beast, John Barron, abandoned her on their wedding night. Now, years later—evicted from her home and facing prison because of her husband’s debts—she has finally found the blackguard again. And she’s not leaving until the faithless rogue grants her a divorce!

A GROOM ENCHANTED

“Who is this extraordinary hellion who burst into John’s wild London soiree? Could it be the forgotten rural miss whom his father once forced him to wed? Now that Mallory has reentered his life, John desperately wants her to stay—and not simply because he needs her help to trap the embezzler who is ruining them both. The lady has bewitched John Barron with her sensuality and her fire. But to win her hardened heart, he will have to change more than his mind—and become a caring and thoughtful true husband worthy of her passion and unparalleled love.”

All I can say is Cathy Maxwell is a fantastic author! Her writing was beautiful and her plot and characters were enthralling. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and found myself looking forward to having a chance to pick it up.

What was amazing to me was the fact that not only was the book wonderful, but it was BASED ON REAL PEOPLE! The main characters really existed! I couldn’t believe it! I have never read an author that was brave enough to attempt something like this. Yes, I have read books that the authors have set in actual battles or the main characters interact with people who really existed, but I have never read a book in which the main characters were real. I was SO impressed and I can’t wait to find out if Cathy Maxwell has done that with more of her books.
