Representaion During Books Nobody's Angel
In Carolina Colony, the community admired Susannah Redmon, plain eldest daughter of the preacher. Her herbal healing skills made her an angel of mercy, her determination held together the family's farm, and her strong will always got her what she wanted--even the buying of a man. But no suitor had ever courted her...Ian Connelly, Marquis of Derne, had been betrayed, branded a criminal, and beaten. Still defiant, he had been indentured and transported to the Colonies, where a bossy, primly proper woman had bought him! But he alone saw the strength of her character, the gold in her tawny hair, and, in her eyes, the fire of her long-hidden desire...
Now Susannah "owned" this magnificently handsome rogue, but it was his passion that could free her imprisoned, lonely heart. From the frontier South to society London or even to hell itself, with her body she would worship him and with her soul she would love him, for she was...Nobody's Angel.

3 STARS Susannah is the eldest of the Minister Redmon's daughter and the one that holds together the family and the community. At 26 and unmarried she is considered a spinster and her 20 year old sister, Sarah Jane is next in line to marry and is now engaged to a young preacher. Mandy at 17 years old is the beauty among her sisters and town and has men of all ages at her beckoning. Youngest and plumpest, Emily at 15 years old is trying to keep up and mostly annoy her older sister, Mandy.Well, it's kind of kitschy all over. Indentured servant gets sent to the Colonies where he encounters the love of his life. The guy has secrets which are fairly predictable. Add to which, the heroine keeps falling into his arms without resolving some pretty serious concerns - they do turn out to be misunderstandings, for the most part, but I lost respect for her because she didn't FIND OUT they were misunderstandings before she threw her skirts up again. Anyway, now I've read all Robards'
Really good, but at times a bit confusing.
I really enjoyed Nobody's Angel, but it wasn't one of my favorite Karen Robards novel. The story line and plot were creative and interesting ... A Marquis betrayed who ended up as a bound servant to a preacher's family in the Carolinas, but some of the characters fell a little flat. I think the book has a lot of potential, and was certainly enjoyable to read, but it could have been so much more. Susannah's character was a bit over the top in her criticism and anger. Ian was a bit too much of a
It was... okay. This book had incredible sex scenes. Like legitimately, out of this world! However, the problem is that I don't enjoy unnecessary drama in books, and having the main female character be a minister's daughter meant the book was going to be 1/3 of her lamenting her sins, and how she has let down not only her father, her community, her sister's, but god as well. Yikes! I'm not here for this self-flagellation.
Beaufort, Carolinas, 1769.Susannah (26) is a Baptist preacher;s eldest daughter and practically a mother to her sisters.She is the voice of authority in the house and in the community.Sarah Jane (20) is engaged to be married to another preacher .Mandy (17) is a typical young girl who likes the attention of men and wants to have fun.The youngest is Emily (15) ,who still is very much a child.One day Susannah realizes they need an able man to work their farm.She buys a convict from England,
What can I say? I love this book. I have read it several times and once again I was riveted to it all night -- I read it in a one day. I love Susannah, I love Ian and their love story is just so wonderful. *sigh*
