So, today's blog tour guest via Rachel's Random Resources may give you a small case of deja vu, but trust me, it's totally worth it!  If you're a frequent visitor to my site, THANK YOU...but seriously, you may have caught a review I shared a few days back featuring the latest release from author Virginia Heath and the first title in her BRAND NEW A Very Village Scandal series.  You may have noticed that I rather enjoyed the story, the village, the characters, and all aspects of the story as well; if not, here's a quick link back to catch up.  In either case, despite my prior plans to review the book outside of this tour, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to shine the bookish spotlight on it once again, so a special thanks to Rachel for indulging my whim!

About the author...

When Virginia Heath was a little girl it took her ages to fall asleep, so she made up stories in her head to help pass the time while she was staring at the ceiling. As she got older, the stories became more complicated, sometimes taking weeks to get to the happy ending. Then one day, she decided to embrace the insomnia and start writing them down. Twenty books and two Romantic Novel of the Year Award nominations later, and it still takes her forever to fall asleep.

The earl she loved to hate

…until she stayed in his mansion!

Sophie and Rafe...

...a love story written in the stars...

...or is that the STARES?

Rafe has come to this quaint little town not by choice but by necessity.  It seems some distant relative he didn't know has passed away, and lacking an immediate heir, he was the next in the bloodline to inherit his "legacy".  Lands, a mansion, a title, and a sizeable bank account are well and truly appreciated by Rafe because he has plans for his future, and this will enable that to become a reality...BUT I put "legacy" in quotation marks for a reason.  You see, his predecessor was a less than liked landowner, and an even more negligent landlord.  He loved to reap the wealth of what he "sowed", but not to lift a finger in assistance, or a hand to those in need, even if they were truly his charges.  Certainly not unheard of in these times, but definitely a fly in the ointment.  Why?  Well, as it stands, Rafe's future plans may not just be for himself, making him seem to have a heart...and yet, he's never wanted a title either, so he planned to sell out and run toward that dream.  Enter fly number two in the ointment...who goes by the name of Sophie.

The townspeople may not have liked the man they paid rent to, but they liked their livelihood, the ability to provide for themselves, and have a roof over their heads, so they were entirely suspicious of the new earl from the word go.  With a little nudge in the right direction, away from mere gossip and towards action to stake their claims, they are pulling together to face off against him...and their elected leader is Sophie.  Nary a bad word to be said about her in town, but she has a way with people, a way with words, and a past she'd rather not discuss.  Her aunt is the only relation she claims, and she's ever grateful for the townspeople who welcomed her in when she was lost.  So naturally, she'd do anything for them...and if it takes squaring off against the overly handsome, secretly kind hearted earl, than that's just what she'll do.  

Sound like the makings of a good old fashioned showdown?  Ah, but that's just the half of it!  It gets even better as you become even more involved in their lives, discovering the truth behind Rafe's dreams, the history Sophie has tried so hard to forget, the lengths to which two hearts that recognize each other's pain will go to in order to stay strong...and yet the ultimate power of love, in its many forms.  I also want to mention that as much as this is Rafe and Sophie's story, the relationships between both of them and the townspeople are just as important, and let us not forget a particularly special young man and how his outright honesty and open heart are a true blessing.  It's another wonderful story from an author whose work I truly enjoy, and I can't wait to check out more stories in the series as they arrive!
