Product Description
When a woman who's ready for love meets a dangerous, passionate man, she can easily get Swept Away....
Bestselling, award-winning author Marsha Canham's breathtaking new novel transports readers to Regency England as a young woman rescues a mysterious man, only to find love, danger, destiny....
"They have to know the truth. Before it is too late." Those were the half-naked stranger's only words as he opened his eyes, looked into her soul, then lost consciousness in the shallow tidal pool. Annaleah Fairchilde, heiress and noblewoman, soon learned the identity of the man she saved: Emory Althorpe, adventurer, accused traitor, and Napoleon's spy. Even as she bound the dangerous scoundrel's wounds, she fell deeper under the spell of a man handsome as the devil, sent to her by fate.
He remembered nothing. Only the need to escape. Emory Althorpe was wanted for treason, yet his only hope was a shadowy memory hovering just beyond his grasp, and beautiful Anna, who aroused unexpected passions. He had no choice but to abduct her, needing her to gain access to London's ballrooms, where he could prove his innocence. Together they raced into the face of danger, determined to find the key to his past and live--or die--together, as destiny decreed....

Totally captivating!,
By pigpig (BKK, Thailand) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swept Away (Mass Market Paperback)
I love this book. After finishing it I have no wonder why other readers always give it 5 stars. The story was very well created. The book is full of thrilling intrigues and twists and turns. It's simply a very entertaining and perhaps the most sexiest read and I just couldn't put it down. The heroine, Annaleah Flairchilde, falls in love with the hero, Emory Althorpe, very quickly because he is so charming and beautiful. Emory is washed away unconscious on the shore and is found by Anna. He awakes with no memory and he is accused of being a traitor and treason. Anna is a strong-willed and brave woman once she believes he is innocent, she is determined to go with him to find out the truth before it is too late. There are enemies to fight with and secrets and plots lie in wait for they to resolve. As they go together, Emory also cares for Anna. He even risks his life to keep his promise to get rose oil for her. Beware of Lord Barrimore, he almost makes me believe that he is truly a hero. Swept Away is the very best book with unforgettable characters that will live in your hearts forever. You must not miss this one if you are a fan of Regency.

This review is from: Swept Away (Mass Market Paperback)
At first, I passed by SWEPT AWAY because the cover misled me. It looks like the cover of one of those contemporary women's fiction novels that I don't enjoy. But inside is just the sort of story I really likea Regency-period historical, with a great romance, a heart-stopping plot, and real historical characters. In most romances set in this period, Napoleon is a distant tyrant. In this book, he actually appears.The heroine, Annaleah Fairchilde, discovers on the beach a half-drowned, mostly naked man. He is, of course, well-built, good-looking, bearing the scars of physical torture, and missing his memory. He is also being hunted as a traitor to England, responsible for Napoleon's escape from Elba and suspected of a plot to save Napoleon from exile to St. Helena. Annaleah has good reason to believe he may be innocent, mostly because of the endorsement of her aunt, who knew him as a boy. She becomes involved in his attempt to find out the truth about himself and to end the nefarious doings of the real traitor. If you like a complex plot, well developed with all the secrets revealed at just the right time, you will enjoy this book. If you like a romance laced with sexual tension and interesting encounters, you will enjoy it. If you like historicals that touch on real events, you will enjoy it. It was a book that I had difficulty putting down.

Swept Away,
By Helen J Gunter (Sydney, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swept Away (Mass Market Paperback)
Swept Away is set in 'Post Napoleonic' England and France. A well thought out plot with political intrigue, good character development and rollicking romance makes this a great read. Canham uses witty dialogue between her characters to animate them and brings not only the characters, but every scene to life in the world as it was then, through her brilliant descriptions.Her style draws you along at a break neck pace, and then leaves you wanting more as you rush to the end!
