Love Me Forever, by Johanna Lindsay, is a fairy tail set in the days of earls, heiresses, and kings in England. A young heiress in mourning for her mother's death, Lady Kimberly has been abandoned by her lifelong fiance. But Kimberly's father, the recently widowed Earl of Amburough, is intent upon marrying her off as quickly as possible- to please the jealous lover he longs to wed.
So the rather indelicate business of matchmaking begins. And Lachlan MacGregor, the dashing and newly impoverished Laird of Clan MacGregor, is deemed the worthy suitor. Kimberly, however, harbors a deep-seated dislike of gold-diggers, and the whole woeful state of affairs in general.

I am not very far in the book so far, however the plot line already seems to be boiling up. The characters are described in a decent amount of depth, and their personalities are fairly easy to relate to. Or, at least, their way of thinking is logical enough to be understood and comprehended in a way that adds to the plot line.
ReplyDeleteRecently, the main characters Lachlan MacGregor and Lady Kimberly have come to the conclusion that being wed will solve their problems. For Lalchan, he needs to wed a wealthy heiress to save his people from poverty. Lady Kimberly has been told by her father that she must wed soon. The characters still have yet to meet, however. I am wondering how they will fair, considering their different morals and personalities. it seems to be ensured of an interesting interaction between the two.
ReplyDeleteIs this story primarily about love? I assume it must have some mystery, right? In a previous post, you mentioned how the author reflected how people in that time period spoke in his/her writing, is that the case with this one?
ReplyDeleteYes, actually, this book does speak in the way of that time period. However, since it is a different place, the words are different and a little hard to understand at first. I assume it is about love, as it seems to me that the two characters will wed. Indeed, this m,ay have an interesting effect, because she very much has a deep-seeded hatred for gold diggers-which he is- even though he has a good cause. She wants love, but he needs money. I'm hoping they fall in love in the end. Well, first, I have to see them meet, however my feelings towards them are hopeful.
DeleteSounds like a good, if quite simple, story, Matilda. Has the plot gotten more complicated since you last posted?
ReplyDeleteNot really, actually. It is more so talking about her father and her bad experiences with her betrothed who had left her because she did not wish to wed whilst still in her year of mourning over her dead mother.
DeleteI have decided to wait until a later point to carry on with my reading in this book. In order to stay interested, I find I have to be in a certain mood, so I will wait until a later point to carry on my reading with this book.
