5/24/2023 0 Comments Beau Crusoe by Carla KellyA triumphant return from being marooned on a desert island has not dimmed his painful memories of the shipwreck that sent him there since his island was no paradise. James Trevenen is none too thrilled at the prospect of a stay in London either. When she learns that her father intends for her to escort the winner of the Copley Medal around town during his stay at the family home, she is terrified at the prospect of venturing out into society once more. She spends her days visiting her elderly godfather, painting specimens at the Royal Gardens, and tending to her young son. Her family can no longer go about in society and Susannah is never allowed to forget that they carry this burden due to her scandalous elopement. Susannah Park has lived a life of retirement and disgrace since her return to England following the death of her husband in India. As always, she creates endearing characters and stories that go places far deeper than the usual courtship stories. Kelly’s tale of two tortured survivors finding love and comfort together is beautiful, touching, and often very funny. Carla Kelly is back at last! It’s been far too long since her last release, but this book makes up for the wait.
