NIGHT AT THE OPERA - An American Heiress Book 1 (1908)

When American heiress Gwen Barton aids an injured gentleman in an opera box in London, she shares a kiss with the stranger that changes her life. More determined than ever to be herself, in spite of the limp she’s sustained since childhood, she will marry for love and not a title. She also resolves to learn the identity of the man she helped—and kissed. Surely he can’t be the irritating Avery Winfield, though. But as circumstances continue to throw Gwen and Avery together, she begins to wonder if there is more to this man than she first thought.

While most of London only knows him as the nephew of a duke, Avery Winfield is actually working for the Secret Service Bureau to ferret out German spies from among the ton. It’s a profession that gives him purpose and a reason to remain a bachelor. But the more he interacts with Gwen Barton, an heiress from America, the more he begins to question his plans and neglected faith. Then he learns Gwen is the young lady from the opera box who helped him. Now his most important mission may have nothing to do with saving Britain from danger and everything to do with risking his heart for the woman he met that night at the opera.

My Review: 5 Stars

I haven't read a lot of books set in this time period and I loved the setting, the intrigue, and of course, the romance. This story all began with a night at the opera, which was a dangerously unexpectedly delightful surprise, and what happens after that completely captured my attention.

Gwen is an imperfect America heiress who is now in London, trying to have a season there and I loved watching her exert her independence from her mother and allow her spunk to shine through, especially in her interactions in society. I love the friendship that she has with Syble. She has passions that are pure and selfless, which endeared her to me even more.

Avery is in a dangerous occupation and I really enjoyed his character, and especially his banter with Gwen. I found myself continuously anticipating their next meetings and smiled through it all. I loved how the reader was treated to both points-of-view and really got to know the characters, especially as they waded through this mystery and the perils surrounding it.

I love this author's writing style and her voice is very engaging, which really brings the characters and story to life. I noticed there are two more books in this American Heiress series coming up in the future and I'm definitely looking forward to them.

Content: mild romance (kissing); mild violence
