Originally published in 1996, The Lady’s Companion is the story of Susan Hampton, a genteelly impoverished lady whose marital and future hopes have been dashed on the rocks of her wastrel father’s gambling addiction. Unlike Kelly’s novels that I reviewed previously, this book goes beyond “just kisses”, while maintaining its oblique decorum in the love scenes. I have read four of her books in rapid succession, thank you Rochelle, and I have another one waiting on my Kindle. She follows her romance tropes and brings everything to a happy, satisfying ending. Carla Kelly writes sweet, gentle, sincere Regency romances and The Lady’s Companion is no exception. I try to be more creative and thesaurusy in these reviews, but lovely really is the best word for this novel. I use the word “lovely” a lot too much in everyday conversation.
