Loved it! Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Finished in a few hours. I was sad to see it end. This story stayed with me even after the last pages. Can't wait to read more from this author. ( )

5 STARS

I was kept up to early this morning finishing Becoming Lady Lockwood. I loved the time spent on the ship. It was interesting and well told. We learn a lot because Amelia was so curious and wanted to be useful.

The time in England was the weakest part in my eyes. It felt a little rushed.

Amelia Beckett is a strong character, brave, caring and a hard worker. She is also beautiful inside and out. Amelia grew up on a sugar plantation in Jamaica. She was married by contract to Lord Lockwood but never met him.

Captain Sir William Drake believes that Amelia and her father the Admiral conspired to cheat his estate. He is bringing her to England to find out.

The setting for most of the book is sailing from Jamaica to England in a time when France and England are at war. They are traveling in a military ship. There orders were to go in Frances water.

There was lots of drama, action, romance and interesting characters. It is also a clean read. I did not put the book down till I had finished. I like how the story was told it got your attention from the first chapter and kept it. The story seemed to just flow.
Of course there were a lot of the story you knew would happen and some things were a surprise.

Based on this book alone I would read more by Jennifer Moore in the future.

I was given this book to read so I could give my honest opinion of it and be part of its blog tour. ( )

This book is AMAZING!
Surely the NEXT BEST SELLER in REGENCY ROMANCE!

Take all of the fun bantering and serious propriety of the high society and place in on a ship...

out on the open ocean...

with an impending war...

And you the the makings of a GREAT STORY!

Amelia Beckett, (Lady Lockwood) is married...on paper at least.

But now she is a widow without ever meeting Lord Lockwood.

Her father has sent for her to come to England...

And who should be the captain of the ship she will be traveling on?

None other than Captain Sir William Drake, the brother of her deceased husband.

Not only is he taking her to England, but once there, he will be taking her to court to contest the marriage and her inheritance of "a sizable portion of his family's estate."

But Amelia is not the faint-of-heart kind of woman.

She will win your heart just as she does the shipmates...

But can she win the heart of the captain as well?

YOU WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!
SO. SO. SO. GOOD!

Give in to love and romance and the open sea! ( )
