Very Georgette Heyer, but with much more scripture. Rather implausible in most respects, but no end of good intentions - in spite of the fact that we meet our heroine as she is attempting to sneak out of the house to elope with a footman. (Major implausibility #1). She is thwarted in her intentions, however, by a young man who has come to court her at the recommendation of his recently deceased father. His man having informed him of stable gossip of the intended elopement, he takes up his station for the night on the floor outside her bedroom door to prevent her escape. (Major implausibility #2 - or maybe #3, if you count his haring off to marry a girl recommended by his papa.)
My sister purchased this - and I read it - cooperative learning, or something. Christian romantic fiction is not the genre of choice for either one of us - even Christian historical romantic fiction, but we are acquainted with the author and thought it worth a try.
