Comment: Lyn Stone Bride of Trouville
Harlequin Historical #467 7/99
Edouard Gillet, Compte de Trouville, is out of favor with his cousin King Phillip of France. Unaware of this, Dairmid Hume suggests Edouard accompany him to Scotland to marry Dairmid's niece, Anne. Edouard isn't about to tell him the truth.
As a widow, Anne is not interested in marriage, but she must do something to protect her son, Rob, so she agrees to the arrangement. If anyone knew he was deaf, he would lose his lands and title.
Neither of them knew that they'd find happiness in the marriage bed. But Edouard is determined to uncover the secret he suspects Anne is hiding.
Anne fears that Edouard, with his passion for perfection, will want Rob removed once he discovers the boy's affliction. Uncovering the truth, however, provides for an interesting relationship between Edouard and Rob. Rob proves himself to Edouard and Edouard agrees to keep Rob's secret safe when others threaten to shatter their newfound peace.
Ms. Stone has written a memorable, remarkable book that goes beyond the ordinary. Her characters exhibit humor, love, pride and arrogance, but also compassion and understanding. Rob's deafness is treated with sensitivity. It becomes a rallying factor and plot-moving device that this reader found highly enjoyable. SENSUAL

Summary: I only wish it was longer
Comment: Perfectionist Edouard Gillet has angered King Phillip so hedecides to lay low for a while in Scotland. He takes his young sonwith him who needs a mother figure to teach him the more genteel facets of life. Anne is for from perfect and she has a son many would view as 'the son of the devil' because he is deaf. Through a series of events they are married and fall in love, with Edouard admitting his love early and Anne holding off because she hasn't told him her son is deaf. Its nice to read a story where the hero and heroine are not the usual young and naive. Anne is in her late 20's and Edwouard is a little older. Of course both have their secrets and each is hurt when they discover that the other has been holding back on the other.

Summary: Reluctant groom for reluctant bride who's protecting her son
Comment: Edouard Gillett, the Comte of Trouville, is leaving France before King Philip decides to take more than his lands away. He is going to Scotland. Dairmid Hume is travelling with him, and while on the journey sells Edouard on the idea of taking a bride. Hume has a widowed niece holding an estate in trust for her ten-year-old son. He agrees to meet her, but will not marry her unless it is what she desires. She doesn't want to marry any man, but when Hume threatens to take away her son Robert, if she doesn't marry Trouville, she agrees. She'll simply have to hide Robert's deafness from Edouard. Anne soon finds her heart stolen by Edouard, but each time she decides to tell him about her son, the comte acts in a way that reveals that he dislikes imperfection. Lyn Stone has written a wonderful tale of love, trust and acceptance. The story is not predictable in the least and is full of lots of twists and turns. Don't miss this winner!
