An Exotic Heir by Meredith Bond is a Regency novel with all the intrigue and angst that accompanies the young women in their search for true love.  The scene change to Calcutta gives a smooth change of scenery and opens a whole new background for intrigue and scheming.  The whole moral question of bigotry is treated in a wholly organic manner and does not come across as forced. This is a good clean read that has such a great story that you wish it would go on for just a few more pages.  Do be warned however that the novel addresses the matter of interracial relationships.

The Spice Bride by Karen Aminadra The Spice Bride (The Emberton Brothers #1) by Karen Aminadra The Spice bride is a good clean read and readers of all ages will enjoy it. The story adequately follows the main characters forced into a situation and their way of dealing with it and its surprising consequences. I do feel that the moral issues addressed in the book are a bit forced and it has the potential of coming across as a moral lesson. A good recommendation if you want the romance without the graphic detail. I will recommend this to my teenager and her friends.
