GREAT EMOTIONAL ROMANCE!

Gayle Wilson has done it again -- great story!Loved the emotional and mental growth of Lady Sarah in the four years that she takes sole care of her "child" not to mention her father.Justin Tolbert, the new Earl of Wynfield, has nothing but debts and a wounded body to offer anyone. His greatest fear, would Lady Sarah be tolerant of his being less of a man? It takes the child, Andrew to soften up Justin's emotions that he can tolerate a marriage of convenience. But the worst fear happens as he realizes he has not lost his love for Sarah over the past four years.The threat from the natural father of Andrew really ties up the story -- and what a way to end -- couldn't help but grin.Cant't help it -------- but dahh! N.Y, something tells me that you have no understanding of the emotions or morality of the regency period. They didn't think like the general public of this day and age.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED -- a story that should be enjoyed by all.

A great book!

This was my second Gayle Wilson book, I'm so glad I found this author! You will love the story, its so different then your typical romance. And that sweet little blue eyed Drew, I wanted to keep him myself! If you can find this one, grab it!

One great story teller!

*sigh* What can I say except this woman hasn't had a bad book yet. Gayle Wilson's books, whether Historicals or Intriques are keepers.

A beautifully told story

It's no big surprise that Gayle Wilson should have a way with words. With her teaching background, her work with gifted children, one would expect finely crafted, vivid prose. But Ms. Wilson is far more than a wordsmith: she is an artist, conveying a sense of time and place, making her readers empathize with her finely drawn characters, balancing historical accuracy with contemporary sensibilities in ways that prove that romance novels can be far more than simply escapist fare. LADY SARAH'S SON is not your ordinary marriage-of-convenience story. This is a story about forgiveness and honor and loyalty, about a love strong enough to rise to the surface of a veritable ocean of fear and doubt. These are not perfect people; they are REAL people, people we care about and root for, and, in the end, rejoice with. Ms. Wilson captures the period for us naturally and unobtrusively, the mark of a truly talented historical writer.

Sarah Spenser had a perfect life --

a life that revolved around the future she planned to build with her fiance, Justin Tolbert. But when she leaves home, returns with a baby and sends her fiance a "Dear Justin," letter, that life she envisioned is forever changed. Four years later, Justin is the new Earl of Wynfield, a title that carries more debt than anything else. And Lady Sarah has an offer -- marry her, provide a role model for her four year old, Drew, and she'll pay off the estate's debt. Their marriage could put an end to their problems, but can it be the beginning of something rare and wonderful as well? LSS is a definite skip-to-the-top-of-the-TBR-pile read. Sarah and Justin's rediscovery of a love that never truly died, and their love for one small boy is a heartwarming read that won't let go of you for some time to come!
