A review by ashish_ras
A Consuming Love by Kelly Miller
5.0
A swoony regency romance
This is my second read by the author. Oh, how I would love to write a review in the manner of Ms. Kelly's caliber, but alas, I am restrained in such faculties. Each word and phrase match the grace of the protagonist's actions. Nuances of the language transport you to Britain of the 1800s. Lines like " her lower jaw trembling like a kettle simmering towards a boil." paint such a vivid portrait of the emotional state of the characters.
Our main character, Mr. Darcy, becomes intrigued and attracted to Ms. Bennet. His resistance falters, and he cannot keep away. He must navigate the web of medieval English socio-cultural complexities to marry his love. A lady who proves to be his equal.
The class lines of medieval Britain create the conflict in the story. The side characters like the Bennet family and Bingley's sisters have been crafted well to demonstrate various human traits, the good, the bad, and the ugly. In contrast, Mr Darcy’s sister, Georgina, is a delight to read.
I am sure fans of regency romance will be delighted to read this entire set of novels by the author.
