About the Book:
No good deed goes unpunished. Lord
Phillip Westcombe is a younger son and sufficiently independent. He has no need
upset his tidy life with the messiness of love, but when he comes to the rescue
of the lovely Lady Elizabeth Follett, and the two are found in a compromising
position, his life takes an unexpected turn. Barely knowing each other, they
are forced to wed. Embarking on a new life they must learn to trust God as they
face an evil which threatens their lives and the security of the British
Empire. Will the minions of the Black Diamond--the bounder who owns the soul of
Elizabeth's father--succeed in their evil plans? Will Phillip and Elizabeth's
new love and faith survive the test that awaits them? Or will they all fall to
the Black Diamond?
My Review:
The undercurrents of Regency England
are fraught with a plot to aid the enemy, and forces of evil influence the
vulnerable. As the second son of an earl, Phillip’s older brother has the title
and privileges thereof all wrapped up. Phillip will not inherit a title or much
responsibility and earns a reputation as a reckless young buck in Regency England.
When he does inherit a small country estate and turns his life around, his
parents don’t believe he could change and set their hearts and minds to bear
him from a distance. When he makes another reckless decision during his sister’s
coming out ball and rescues a fair damsel in distress, he further inherits a
boatload of trouble.
I thoroughly enjoyed this tale of
plots with its twists of creepiness. A young lord who turns his life around
takes responsibility for a young lady who’s been victimized for most of her
life. As devastating as Elizabeth’s life has been, she is in possession of a
fine spirit and courage to beg rescue from a handsome stranger. I would think a
woman who’s been through the terror hinted at might be more leery of strange
men and wifely duties, but this young couple’s growing faith and mutual love
for each other was clearly portrayed.
Sir Phillip’s Folly is another fine
addition to the wily Black Diamond series. Characters intertwine and add to
each other’s stories, but each book stands as a story on its own. Recommended
for those who enjoy inspirational Regency romances. Told in multiple viewpoints
with flair and drama and good period accuracy.
