"SAID YES was a story that showed how love conquers all."
Evelyn Dennsworth is a shop girl saving to open her own
dress
shop. However, her dreams seem ill-fated when she is
accused of
stealing a lady's brooch. As she is being hauled away to
jail,
Marshall Bedford, the Marquis of Waltham, promises to see
her
released. Marshall's reasons aren't exactly altruistic,
for he has
decided that Evelyn would make a perfect mistress. Will
Evelyn get
released and will she be able to resist her attraction to
the
marquis? HE SAID YES is an enjoyable Victorian romance with
characters
that seem appropriate for their time. Marshall feels that
he is
doing Evelyn a favor by saving her from jail. Surely, her
life
would be much better as his mistress, as opposed, to being
a lowly
shop girl. Evelyn, the daughter of a vicar, doesn't wish
to go
against the principles her parents instilled and fights her
attraction. Even when Marshall realizes that he loves
Evelyn,
their love seems doomed because she is socially his
inferior. HE
SAID YES was a story that showed how love conquers all. I
recommend it.
