Book Review: My Dearest Friend by Hazel Statham

Published by Wings ePress Inc.
ISBN 978-1-59705-230-6 2008

Robert Blake thought his world of all-consuming guilt and anger over the untimely death of his younger brother, Stefan would never end. To ease his overwhelming grief, the Duke of Lear frequented London's smoke-filled gaming rooms - "home to the cream of society."

He was truly a man filled with rage - that being added to by an unfaithful lover, whom he caught with another man. Eventually, London's nightlife bored him and he chose instead to leave Blake House to wallow alone in his sorrow out of sight in the confines of his country estate, Stovely Hall.

However by the following spring, the duke's dark world was unexpectedly turned upside down when a lovely and spunky young woman sought his help. Jane Chandler dearly wanted to bring her injured brother home from battle-torn Spain, a journey that would be fraught with all manner of danger.

As the story progresses, Jane’s self-determined attitude comes to loggerheads with Robert's still lingering insensitivity and anger. This book is a 19th century love story full of jealousy, treachery and heart-wrenching misunderstandings as the duke learns to love and trust again.

My Dearest Friend is well written and easy to read. Once you begin doing so, you won't want to put the book down. For more information or to secure a copy, please visit the author's web site at: http://www.hazel-statham.co.uk.

Ballad in the Night

By: Herpha Jane Obod | 05/11/2009
Distance could never separate two hearts that beat as one. True love grows not only in the presence of two people who deeply loved each other. Even in the absence of a person dearly loved, the heart can find its way to heaven, reach the stars, and command the wind to reunite two hearts. For a heart that truly loves knows no distance, space, or time. It only knows how to love.
