As You Are Description
A horse breeder by trade, Corbin Jonquil is more at home in the stables than in the ballroom of his sprawling estate. Corbin is the quietest of the Jonquil brothers and has always faded into the background, contentedly unnoticed. When a mysterious young widow, Mrs. Clara Bentford, moves into the neighborhood, however, Corbin quickly comes to realize that being noticed has its advantages. But how to catch the eye of the lady? According to his brothers, Corbin need only make a few simple changes to transform himself into the object of any woman’s desire—dubious advice, indeed. Following a series of misadventures, Corbin and Clara slowly lower the facades behind which they’ve been hiding, leaving Corbin shocked by the horrors that haunt the woman he’s coming to care for so ardently. When the menace of Clara’s past threatens to tear them apart and tensions mount, will the couple have the courage to fight for the promise of forever?

Absolutely wonderful! I just downloaded it tonight and flew through the entire book in one sitting. I have loved all the books in the Jonquil series and have been waiting, waiting, waiting for this latest installment. It did not disappoint! Sarah's characteristic wit combined with her fluid/effortless writing style and the uplifting values she weaves throughout make for a wonderful read. This is yet another completely clean and very believable romance to her credit.
I loved that characters from her other books made appearances and that Philip and Sorrel's story gets furthered as well (weren't we all wondering at the end of Friends and Foes whether her leg would get better?!!).
This was such a fun read! When Corbin tried to talk to Clara, I had flashbacks to that hilarious old 70's short film, The Phone Call, where the poor teenager can't figure out how to talk to the girl he likes ("what kind of weed killer do you use?") and takes karate classes to bolster his confidence. If you've ever gotten poor advice from friends or family on how to woo the opposite sex, you will be able to empathize with Corbin!
This book can be read without first reading the other books in the series. However, I think it's much more fun to read (in order) Kiss of a Stranger, Friends and Foes, and Drops of Gold prior to reading this latest book, As You Are. To fully appreciate the Duke of Kielder, you should read Seeking Persephone as well.
Awesome job Sarah! Loved it, LOVED IT!!!

Clara & Corbin were fantastic. The mystery of what troubles might be awaiting Clara were great. I love the silent struggles of Corbin, it melted my heart. And I have to mention that YES the Duke of Kielder makes his mark in the story. I always want more of the Jonquil's, I WILL cry when this all comes to an end! Thank you Mrs. Eden for continuing to write through your trials !
