What is Throwback Thursday?

The Historical Romance Edition:

Here are our rules:
1. It must be posted on a Thursday.

So, the novel I’m featuring is…


Madeleine Willits was shunned by London society for a scandal that was no fault of hers, and forced to seek a paid position in the country. So when Quinlan Bancroft, Marquis of Wakefield, comes to direct the household during his uncle’s illness, Maddie is determined to detest the nobleman on sight. But though the ‘marquis’ is easy to dislike, the ‘man’ himself is a different matter. Quinlan’s aplomb in the face of mud, demented pigs, and musket-waving villagers is deucedly appealing. Small wonder, then, that Maddie quite forgets to repulse Quinlan when he enfolds her in a sweet embrace…

Caught kissing his uncle’s lovely young companion, Quinlan feels he should make amends, and use his rank to re-establish Miss Willits in society. Unfortunately, it is soon apparent that Maddie has no idea how to resist imnportunate young rakes who believe her ripe for the plucking. But Maddie knows there is only one rake whose attentions she truly needs to fear—because only Quinlan Bancroft possesses the power to break her heart.

Why By Love Undone?

This is a story that we see a great growth in our characters. Suzanne Enoch is fantastic, but her older published novels would definitely be at the top of my list. Her wonderful classic writing is evident so strongly, and the build up of the relationship is fantastic, By Love Undone is a classic romance you don’t want to miss out on.
