The Girl with the Make-Believe Husband

A single act of courage lands Cecilia in a problem from which there is no escape for her. During wartime, Cecilia gets the news that her brother Thomas is badly injured on the war front. Being an orphan, the young girl had two choices in front of her i.e either to go to her aunt or marry her cousin who has plans of his own for a future life.

Julia Quinn’s heroines are always brave and we observe that Cecilia takes the third route when she goes to the waterfront in order to take care of her brother. Instead of her brother, Cecilia finds Thomas’ best friend Edward who too was badly injured. Edward received severe injuries on the head and Cecilia decides to take care of him. For this, she tells a lie and pretends that she is actually Edward’s wife.

For many days she takes care of the wounded soldier and when he comes to his senses, Edward realizes that he does not remember the previous three months of his life. Also, he cannot remember whether he was married or not still he thought that saying no to Cecilia was not a good idea at all.

Rosalyn Landor’s magical voice has taken this book to the heights of The Duke and I and leaving Queen Charlotte undiscussed would be an injustice too. The fans are bound to fall in love with these books because of the characters and also because of the situations in which the main characters find themselves. The two lovers really get into an odd situation here and the love keeps on getting stronger and more intense.
