Get Hold Of Lord Haven’s Deception Crafted By Donna Lea Simpson Accessible As Pamphlet

Dresden has no patience for the merciless gossip of the ton or the handy hypocrisy of the nobility, and now that her mother has arranged for her to marry the supposedly cruel Viscount Haven, she fears for her future happiness.
In an effort to appease her mother and also put an end to her matchmaking, Jane agrees to meet the man, but in a fit of panic runs from the engagement and takes refuge in a country cottage, disguised as a maid.
There she meets a kind and comforting local farmer who shares her taste for simplicity and quickly captures her heart,


Lord Haven had long ago resigned himself to the unpleasant duties of his title and accepted the hard truth that taking a wife and producing an heir was among themthough he shudders at the prospect of spending his life with the charmless woman his mother has arranged for him to wed.
Wishing to delay their formal meeting until the last possible moment, he shrugs off his stifling attire and escapes to his favorite sanctuary, a simple cottage on his grand estate.
There he meets a caring and captivating maid who steals his heart, and in the guise of a common farmer he proceeds to court her, fearing all the while that his ruse will be discovered.

As the two struggle with the implications of their deceit and the shattering knowledge that revealing their true identities will doom their blossoming bond, each is forced to choose between duty and heartfelt desire, never suspecting that their fated match holds the key to a true and lasting love.



This is a fully revised edition of a book originally titled A Country Courtship,


About the Author:


Donna Lea Simpson is a nationally bestselling romance and mystery novelist with more than twenty titles published in the last eleven years.
Besides writing romance and mystery novels and reading the same, Donna has a long list of passions: cats and tea, cooking and vintage cookware, crossstitching and watercolor painting among them.
She lives in Canada. From the beginning, this story wasn't very captivating, I was consistently losing interest in the plot, Nothing drew me into the story, there was no addiction to find out the characters' fates, Usually with historical romances, I devour them indays, this one seemed to take forever for me to get through,

Despite this, the story did have a few redeeming qualities, I like the dowager viscountess, She was unappreciated, yet witty and sharp, Miss Jane Dresden, the protagonist was a bit dumb, Her actions from the beginning were just plain stupid, I'd have a better appreciation for the story if Jane, who later goes by Jenny, had a least a bit of common sense, There wasn't anything awful about Viscount Haven, Gerry, that stood out to me, He was a likable, sort of male protagonist, another misunderstood sort,

I think if there had been more compromising situations, this story would have been less dry, and a lot more exciting,

I received this book from Netgalley for this honest review, I received an eARC, from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review,

Absolutely loved this book! Great writing style and characters, Exciting,intriguing and romantic. Could not put this book down by Donna Lea Simpson, I received a free copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

When the story starts, we get to see Lord Haven Gerry and his friend Mary spending time together at her little cottage.
Now, I was not too crazy about his relationship with Mary at first, it seemed like he might be interested in her, but I did love Mary, she was very sweet to Jane and helped her a lot.


And Gerry is actually surrounded by wonderful women, I mean, yes, there's his mom and one of his sisters, who are not very nice, but the other women in his life are amazing, and yet he and his friend Mr.
Varens are sometimes too harsh on women, especially those of the ton, For example:

"Why aren't women as rational as men"

Says the guy who likes Lord Haven's sister just because she's pretty, let's be honest now.
Lord Haven's other sister is crazy about this man, yet he pays attention to the one who has only beauty to recommend her, Superficial man.

It's mentioned how most men cheat on their wives, and how barmaids are used to "relieve bodily needs", even if they're willing or not, . . But hey, let's just keep blaming women for everything and point out all of their flaws, even if they're not necessarily true,

Phew, now that I got that out of my chest, . .

Jane's and Gerry's relationship was actually very sweet! I liked how they got to know each other before finding out who they really were, And we all know we have to thank Gerry's grandma for helping them as well! His grandma was great, honestly,

I loved how both characters wanted that simple kind of life, without all the glam, And it was very enjoyable to see them lead a life away from it all for a few days, A very cute couple indeed,


More reviews on my blog: sitelinkLipstick and Mocha Jane has been told that she is to be married to Viscount Haven, whom she has heard is cruel.
Promising her mother to try to make it work for three months, she travels with her aunt towards her future husband, But, when she arrives at a local inn the night before they are to reach the Viscount she decides she can't do it and goes on the run.
Leaving behind clues that seem as if she has been kidnapped she goes out on the Moors and stumbles across a barn where she's taken in by the widow who lives there.
Mary is also a good friend of Gerry aka, Lord Haven and when Gerry and Jane meet sparks immediately fly, But neither knows whom the other is and when their deception is lifted, will they still want each other

Let me start with what I did like: I really enjoyed Gerry, he's kind and considerate and has emotions.
I also like Jane she takes her destiny in her own hands, She's willing to do, and learn, what she needs in order to survive, I also like the idea of Gerry and Jane, Both hate the ton, both prefer a simple life over the glitter of society,

There were however aspects of the novel I wasn't as taken with, First of all, both Jane and Gerry turn out to be complete nitwits, Especially in the second part of the novel I really wanted to just grab and shake them, Also, this story heavily relies on false information and miscommunication, which are not my favorite themes in HR novels,

Not written for HR readers like me, but none the less well written, Simpson's great writing does shine through and keeps you reading on until the end, Jane Dresdens mother, Mrs. Olivia Dresden, wants her to marry Viscount Geraint Gerry Walcott Haven, Lord of Haven Court, Jane has never met the man and is utterly against this marriage, All she wants is her own cottage somewhere so she can live a quiet and peaceful life, Along with Janes mother, her abrasive aunt, Lady Mortimer, is the one who has pushed and arranged for Jane to journey to Haven Court to meet the Viscount.
Jane tells her family that if after two weeks, she finds they do not get along, then she should be allowed to retire to the country, When Jane arrives at Lord Havens home town, she goes missing which results in Lord Haven searching for her,

Everyone is afraid that she has been abducted,

Mary Cooper, a young widow with a small child, has long been a friend to Lord Haven, She calls him by his name, Gerry, not Lord Haven, Even though he is a Viscount, he prefers a simple life and does all he can to befriend and care for all of the people in his town.
One night, Mary hears a noise outside and finds a young woman cold and hiding in her barn, She immediately brings her inside to warm her up, She tells Mary that her name is Jenny and she is a ladys maid heading back to her home in Scotland, She says that she simply got parted from her coach while they were changing horses, However, Mary doesnt think she is telling the truth but decides to help her anyway,

When Lord Haven stops by to see how Mary is doing, he meets Jenny and is told that she is Marys cousin, Instantly smitten by her beauty and charm, Gerry and Jenny begin taking walks around the moors enjoying the beauty of the area, As they spend time together, their attraction grows,

One day, Mary tells Jenny that she likes her but doesnt believe she is who she says she is, Realizing that she will soon be found out, Jenny decides to flee and becomes lost in the moors,

Will Gerry find her Will the truth finally come out

This was a good story but I felt that Gerry and Jenny having no idea who the other truly was, is a bit hard to believe.
However, there are some very good characters in the story and Im sure readers will really like Havens grandmother,

Copy provided by the publisher via NetGalley LORD HAVENS DECEPTION : is charming, Lots of misunderstanding and superfluous characters, I have a weakness for books where the main characters are in disguise, As much as it seems counterproductive to a romantic story, there is just something about a disguise in fiction that allows characters to be their truest selves, Donna Lea Simpson uses this idea well Lord Havens Deception which is the rerelease of herbook A Country Courtship,

All that Jane Dresden wants is an escape from the pressure to marry well, A move to Bath from London hasnt improved her chances of finding an appropriate man to marry, On the fast track to spinsterhood, Jane is manipulated by her aunt and mother to entertain a betrothal to the reclusive and supposedly taciturn Viscount Haven, She and her aunt travel to Yorkshire to meet Haven and determine if theyll suit one another but in her heart she would rather give it all up to live alone in a cottage independently than marry a stranger who she fears is cruel and incapable of loving her.
