SYNOPSIS –
When Lord James Eversley is accused of a murder he did not commit, he
dresses up as his new brother-in-law’s footman and hitches a ride in their
carriage out of town. When it seems they are no longer being followed he begins
to relax until a minor accident causes them to stop at a shabby looking inn. As
his “master” and his sister sip tea in the scruffy parlour, James comes face to
face with Lady Anna, the woman who left him in the dead of night five years
before and a familiar looking child.
Lady Anna has accepted her life as Mrs Johnstone, mother of four-year-old Viola, “wife” of Peter, the mentally ill former footman and land lady of a shabby inn on the Great North Road. Her plans for a love match with the handsome Lord Eversley were cruelly snatched away from her five years before. Her ruination means there is no opportunity to return to her family or the ton. When James turns up, dressed as a footman and demanding answers, Anna must decide whether to tell the truth.
James never stopped loving Anna and now he must learn what happened that fateful night that Anna left him heartbroken. With the truth out in the open, he must convince the love of his life to take a chance on him. He wants to marry her and restore her reputation among the aristocracy. But in Regency England reputations are easily lost and difficult to regain. Can Anna trust James enough to do what is right for Peter, despite his actions, her child and most importantly himself? Can James convince Anna to seek the help that Peter needs and return to the ton?

Cat's Review
"Restoring Lady Anna" is the reunion story of Lady Anna and Lord James after five years apart. Anna's life has been a living hell but she did what she believed she had to in order to survive and have even a little bit of peace for her and her daughter. Although some decisions Anna made bothered me (as they probably would anyone) she believed they were her only options, to save the man she truly loved. What did upset me a bit about Anna was her loyalty to Peter after James' return. James was living day to day, missing his Anna more and more. When the chance encounter happens, he is ecstatic to find the love of his life but, obviously upset and angry by the life she now leads. He, too, is a bit shocked at her resistance to leave Peter. James is a really good guy - making sure to help take care of Peter and Peter's mother. All he wants is to make Anna happy and if that will then he'll do it. Overall, it was a good book, despite some of Anna's annoying behaviors/attitudes. Thank you, Ms. Taylor! This is the first book I've read of yours, but will most certainly pick up another! ✔✔✔✔
