I was captivated by Peter and Amelia’s dialogue that began with battle as they found themselves at cross-purposes, grew into banter, before blossoming into tenderness as they became enmeshed in unanticipated attraction. That this is Walker’s first published, full length novel is surprising given the effortless skill with which she weaves words and provides light and shade, with humour and poignancy in abundance. Lakeshire Park is an absolute delight! Vivacious characters, enchanting romance, and beautiful prose make this Regency novel an evocative and engaging experience, the kind of storytelling one expects of an experienced writer. But competing against Peter-and eventually playing by his rules-makes Amelia vulnerable to losing the only thing she has left to claim-her heart. Starting with a quarrel over a glove, Amelia and Peter begin a rivalry-one that Amelia has no choice but to win. Peter Wood, is after the same goal for his sister. Little does she know that another guest, Mr. At least then, she’ll know her sister will be taken care of. When an invitation arrives to join a house party at Lakeshire Park, Amelia is eager to encourage a match between her sister, Clara, and Sir Ronald. With their stepfather’s looming death, she knows they’ll soon be on their own-without an inheritance, home, or penny to their names. Amelia Moore is worried about her and her sister’s future.
