It is so romantic! I love Cathy Maxwell! Her books are excellent! I love them all! This is a wee bit predictable but in a good way! Loved it!

the virgin coutesan and the English Lord...

Does a person's past actions dictate if they are worthy of true love? This is the question that this book is based on. Cathy Maxwell has written a wonderful, sweet tale about the hardships that all of us-rich and poor-have to sometimes face, and what our choices mean to our future. I found all the characters interesting-a few who are stalwart, and some to be enjoyed if for no other reason than their obvious flawed character. The hero and heroine are beautiful-but not perfect-and that is what endears them to the reader. The hero in particular is a genuinely good man, and good lord to his people. They are both, along with the oppressive mother in law, in heart lonely and in search of a family. They are also ruled by the dictates of the regency era ton. A thoroughly enjoyable book that I heartily recommend.

Exciting, Passionate Tale

Cathy Maxwell is a wonderful writer whose fairytale yet richly developed characters and stories never fail to delight! When Dreams Come True is the entertaining story of the ravishing Eden, a woman of great compassion, generosity and integrity who had the misfortune to be raised for a life as a courtesan. A virgin yet thoroughly schooled in the art of lovemaking, she's sold to a foreign sheik for an astronomical sum. Escaping in a dingy during a storm at sea, Eden finds herself washed onto the shores of Cornwall and into the arms of the handsome, gallant and highly principled Pierce Kirrier, Lord Penhollow.Villagers believe she is the answer to their magical incantations for a bride for the Lord. Eden and Pierce's courtship while she recovers at his gorgeous estate is exciting and moving. But with Pierce's mother dead set against her and her enslavers searching for her all over England, Eden must struggle with the warring instincts of her passionate attraction to Pierce and her determination to protect him from her past. This is an exciting tale of passion, loyalty, suspense and friendship. Most of all, it is a lot of fun. You won't want to put this one down, so be sure to start reading when you have a few hours of free time ahead of you.

What Fairytales Are Made Of

Cathy Maxwell does it again with this wonderful story of an uncommon earl - Lord of Penhollow - Pierce Kirrier and the beautiful and mysterious Eden who he rescued from the sea.You do have to believe, of course, that she is what the villagers have conjured up for their beloved Earl. They knew he must marry and beget his heirs and he was so loved by all, that they just had to believe that the perfect bride would show up.Well, maybe not so perfect, but appearing so, the very elegant, beautiful and accomplished Eden did wash up on their shores, and it was something of an instantaneous love at first sight kind of attraction. But where would any story be without the mystery and the secret of who Eden really was.Delightful, warm, loving and just the type of novel to curl up with any old day and fall in love all over again. Personally, I'd like to conjure up an Earl of Penhollow - dreamy, noble, sexy and strong! Lovely!
