Product Description

From Amazon.com

Setting: London and Scotland, 1843

Sensuality: 8

Lovely and world-weary, Enid MacLean has no wish to set eyes on her ne'er-do-well husband again. Abandoned by him nine years earlier, she has supported herself as a nurse companion. When Mr. Throckmorton tells her that her long-absent husband is wounded, dying, and in need of her, she reluctantly travels to Throckmorton's estate where she finds a man whose face and body are badly wounded but whose eyes are the distinctive green and gold she remembers. Grimly, she sets about saving his life.

Stephen MacLean wakes and his body grows stronger, but his memory is nonexistent. He doesn't remember being married to Enid, yet the beautiful woman with the acerbic tongue challenges and enchants him. Enid is dismayed to find herself being seduced once again by Stephen. How can she desire the husband who treated her so shabbily? Meanwhile, Stephen's instinct warns him they're in danger, but it isn't until their lives are threatened and nearly lost that Throckmorton sends the couple north to Stephen's family estate, where the truth, finally revealed, is startling.

The English and Scottish backdrops are picture perfect for this latest installment in Christina Dodd's Distinguished Academy of Governesses series. With an interesting plot that combines the mysteries of amnesia and Russian spies, plus a lot of heat between the strong hero and heroine, Lost in Your Arms is historical romance at its best. --Lois Faye Dyer



From Publishers Weekly

Fraught with overwrought characters and contrived plot twists, the fifth entry in Dodd's early Victorian-era Governess Bride series picks up where the previous novel, In My Wildest Dreams, left off. Unlike the other members of the Distinguished Academy of Governesses, Enid MacLean is neither single nor a governess. She's a strong-minded nurse who was abandoned nine years ago by her ne'er-do-well husband, Stephen, after only three months of marriage. Now her delinquent husband is back, badly wounded by an explosion in the Crimea and in need of her healing touch. Enid reluctantly returns to find him scarred, suffering from amnesia and in peril from a Russian spy. Unfazed by Stephen's condition, Enid promptly regales him with stories of his past sins, never realizing that the man who both angers and entices her may not be her husband. The novel jumps abruptly from one angst-ridden confrontation to another, rushing toward a staged, sensational conclusion that holds more sparks than substance. Although the romantic tension between Dodd's hero and heroine will pull readers onward inexorably, the espionage subplot lends little credibility or depth to this trite tale. (Mar. 5)Forecast: Dodd's Governess Bride series has a devout following, but this weak entry may leave readers wondering if the author has lost her edge. Although negative word-of-mouth may deter some fans from picking up Dodd's latest, those who do will be placated by the inclusion of the hero and heroine from her previous book.

3.0 out of 5 stars A reworking of "Sommersby", Jun 23 2004
By S. Reader "scibarfan" (Dublin, OH USA) - See all my reviews
The plot is very similar to the Richard Gere movie "Sommersby" but Dodd goes a step further and this is actually more believeable, though not totally.

I didn't like this one quite as much as In My Wildest Dreams, That's my take, although others obviously disagree. Enid is strong but bitter, understandably so, but that made it take a long time for me to like her.

The England to Scotland shift seemed like a totally unsubtle plot device to me. Others found the mystery compelling; it held little interest for me. Note that this book begins near the end of In My Wildest Dreams. It is most beneficial to read that one first! Some of the story lines & characters overlap.

The hero is a mystery man for nearly 1/2 the book, but I'm not sure that his revelation is an improvement. Something about the Scottish setting & events didn't sit well with me. I have been unable to put my finger on the problem. Perhaps part of the problem is the love scenes; there's a bitter, coerced, used quality to them.

There are good moments in the mystery, but it did not need to be dragged through 3 books (the 2 mentioned & My Favorite Bride).

4.0 out of 5 stars When a bad marriage turns good, Sep 5 2003
By K. Newman "krazykmcd" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Enid MacLean hasn't seen her husband for 9 years, and isn't particularly worried that this is so as after 3 months of marriage he ran off and left her to not only fend for herself, but work off his debts too. When she hears that he has been badly injured, she leaves her current charge (Enid looks after the terminally ill) to do her duty by her husband in taking care of him. She arrives to find him almost unrecognisable in his injuries, except for his exceptional eyes, and in very poor health due to the quality of his care. Enid almost surprises herself in her doggedness in determining the best care for him, and in the period of recuperation comes to care for her husband as she barely remembers doing even in the early days of their marriage. For his part, her patient has lost his memory from his injuries, although as it happens, not for good. But all is not as it seems, not even the man she is nursing back to health. And danger stalks them both.

Predictable basic plot, but Dodd works it well and this story is very enjoyable. The threat to them both seems very real and immediate, and the bonds that grow between patient and caregiver stem from the strong characteristics of each of the central characters. The mystery of who is threatening them I certainly found to be hard to anticipate, and kept me guessing. The quandry Enid faces in particular touched an emotional chord in me.

This is one of the books featuring the Throckmortons from 'In My Wildest Dreams' and thus the rest of the Governess series, but it is not necessary to have read the others to enjoy this, as the storylines do not touch except for 2 (admittedly rather important) characters. Nonetheless it would not spoil the sequence of events to read this one first - it might even arouse your curiosity enough to try one of the others.
