This HaBO comes from Linnea, who wants to find this historical romance:
I have read too many romances; been reading them for fifty years so there are bound to be some I cannot find again, especially after my daughters donated most of my books to help me declutter. I have over 6k books on my kindle and have gone through them, too, and cannot find this book.
I think it is part of a series. The plot involves the daughter of a cranky minister. She is a teacher who is on the way home from visiting a wise woman when she finds an unconscious man in the cold. He has been attempting a climb with a friend and they got separated. The treacherous weather has turned cold and there is snow involved. She rescues him by dragging him into a cave and getting him warm with body heat. In the morning, she is found in a disheveled state by her father who insists that the two marry immediately and will not listen to her claiming innocence.
They do marry and it turns out that the groom is heir to a family mansion and land if he and his siblings marry someone with faery blood. Turns out the heroine does have faery blood in the distant past.
The time is later than Regency, perhaps Victorian. I do not remember when I read this.
Faery blood, you say? I’m interested.
It sounds like a Patricia Rice. Does the name Malcolm ring a bell? I looked at descriptions but could not tell.
OMG! This sounds right up my alley! I hope someone knows what this book title is!
This is ringing a faint, faraway bell, but I think I read it. Maybe a Sally MacKenzie book?
Not Patricia Rice; I checked all her books.
Not Patricia Rice. Not Sally MacKenzie. I checked. Sigh.
ooh, this sounds intriguing.
I hope we HABO, sounds interesting.
I was iterating on a google search to see if I could help with this and this showed up in my search results instead. https://www.romanticallyinclinedreviews.com/post/go-big-or-go-home-a-recommendation-compilation-of-romance-heroes-with-big-dicks
Um. Yes? I think? Not at all what you were looking for, sorry Linnea, still searching.
Ely, thanks for trying!!!
I FOUND IT!!!!! I am obsessed with this book, so when no one came up with the title, I searched again through my kindle. and–ta-da–it is “Kissing the Countess” by Susan King.
Hurray!!!
@Linnea, enjoy your reread!
