Well, I've been reading all day because I could not put this book down until I found out everything! What a brilliant debut novel by Kathleen Bittner-Roth! Actually, it's hard to believe this is her first novel as it reads like an old pro - but with bite! Ms. Roth has a unique voice and an absolutely delightful cast of character! If I wasn't already hooked by the hero and heroine, who both have their share of scars and amnesia - with a side of wit--the secondary characters utterly and totally locked it in!How could a reader possibly pass up the grandmother, "Mum," when she holds court at high tea in this 19th Century-set story? When she turns to the heroine and asks, "Milk or gin, dear?" instead of "One lump or two?" And the heroine responds, "Gin, please."
Add to this, plot twists all over the place! Just when I thought I had a handle on this story and had everything figured out, there was another twist or turn that totally blindsided me. Add in brilliant psychological tension of PTSD issues - not from today's Middle East, but from the Crimean War... as true today as those issues were then. The author excelled in her research of both the combat issues and the quirky "Mum" as Lady Stanhope's traveling companion in early 1800's Africa. Ms. Bittner-Roth is truly an author to watch. I can't wait to read more stories in this series about the quirky Malvern Clan - and I truly hope that Mum - and her gin bottle - will make a reappearance.

I love the tone and chemistry between the characters.
The story moves quickly and engages you right away with a kinsmanship to Eastleigh and Sarah.
Very well done.
"The Seduction of Sarah Marks" is a beautifully crafted historical romance that deftly blends the mystery of an amnesia victim's true identity with the love that takes root between two strong-willed souls. When Sarah Marks awakens in a strange bed next to a handsome man she doesn't know, it's definitely not love at first sight. Confused and understandably distressed, amnesia victim Sarah is aided by the stranger, Lord Eastleigh, and travels with him to stay at his home until she regains her memory. Once there, she encounters Eastleigh's colorful family, including the wonderfully eccentric grandmother whose delightfully spicy tales of her youth deserve a story of their own. The path to love isn't smooth for Sarah and Lord Eastleigh, but it's an engrossing, passionate tale of two souls who conquer the ghosts of their pasts to embrace the love they deserve.
What a choice for someone wanting a recommendation for a book and then some reviewer's only gave this one star - REALLY? I was totally lost in this book. I am an avid reader and this has everything. There is a twist in the first 1/4 of the book that had me and it just kept improving. I am not going into the premise of the story, as it has been told better than I could. But, not only is their the story of our H/h but the secondary character's bring so much to the story. Mum is prefect! This is a family who love each other and it shows. There is lovemaking, but more talk about it and when it happens it is described with passion and love - not in the least boring and not vulgar. This is not only about romance, but physical and emotional abuse, effects of war on not only the body, but the mind. This abuse, is mentioned after the fact, so you don't have to read while it is happening - adds another level to their story. I've signed up for the author's newsletter, so I will be reading more of her stories. Her description of everything from the people to the land made me feel I was participating as it was unfolding.

I thought I was getting tired of Regency romances. Turns out, I was just getting tired of the same old stories. This is not one of those. Though I had trouble accepting the extreme coincidence of an amnesiac running into another amnesiac purely by chance, the couple in this story are thoroughly likable and believable, convenient amnesia and all. The crisis scene in the river seemed to lack sufficient tension, and the title is thoroughly misleading, since there is only one seduction scene and we never meet the real Sarah Marks, but the writing and storytelling is so good, I didn't care.
This was a wonderful read. Lilith and Eastleigh were wonderful together and separately. Lilith was a very endearing character. I loved the blend of vulnerability and quiet strength she possessed in the face of her situation and her father's abuse. The hero was scrumptious, very sweet and dashing. His patience with her, his tenderness and how much I loved him really took my by surprise. Normally if my hero is not dark and broody I feel a little cheated. Not so with Eastleigh at all. He was pretty wonderful. This author has a way with word that drew me in and quiet tantalized me. I loved that. Everything felt authentic and fresh. I love the amnesia trope and this one was done well without seeming repetitious at all The plot was fast pace and very engaging. The secondary characters were well drawn and I am already anticipating Rob's book..actually anticipating all of Eastleigh's siblings having a story of their own..
Kudos and I highly recommend to historical romance lovers!
I normally don’t leave reviews on books that I can’t decide whether I like it or not. This is book one of those and also book one of three in Those Magnificent Malverns. I Purchased the third one a few days ago and went back to see if I had any of the others fortunately I had both one and two and decided to read them in order. As I said I’m not sure whether I like this book or not. The storyline I thought was excellent but it could have been executed a lot better given the length of the book. I thought the heroine in the book was very very childish. The issues with her parents were never fully explained and her mother well I’m still not sure about that one. The whole part with her father just seemed like it was added for shock value. The only bright spot in the book was Mum. Although I had to struggle to finish this book I do plan on reading the others just to see what “Mum” get up to .
