An Angel's Touch Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 425 ratings

She is disastrously outspoken. He is a brooding recluse. Is the clash inevitable?

On route to Tunbridge Wells, Verity Lambourn befriends two lost children. She berates their mentor soundly, having no idea of his true identity. Henry, Marquis of Salmesbury, is brought up short by the girl’s scolding. Buried in gloom, he has neglected his children.

When Verity knocks Henry flying, she realises he has been preying on her mind. Tumbling towards a promising future, Verity must confront the shadows of Henry’s tragic past. Is her love enough to test the truth of a gypsy’s prophecy and bring a marquis back to living life again?

Matters come to a head when the children are kidnapped. Can Verity save them and Henry’s sanity too? Or will a threat to Henry himself prove her breaking point?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Elizabeth Bailey grew up in Africa with unconventional parents, where she loved reading and drama. On returning to England, she developed her career in acting, theatre directing and finally writing.

Elizabeth's latest venture is The Lady Fan Mystery series, published by Sapere Books. The novels feature amateur sleuth Lady Ottilia Fanshawe and a cast of family members including her husband and champion Lord Francis Fanshawe. She originally published Regency romances with Harlequin Mills & Boon and has many titles in her Brides by Chance Regency Adventures series, now also published by Sapere, as well as standalone Regency and Georgian romances.

Elizabeth also writes edgy women's fiction: Her dual time novel Fly The Wild Echoes, which deals with past lives, and For One More Tomorrow, where the ghost of the real Macbeth returns, protesting his villainous portrayal by Shakespeare. And she has published a romantic suspense novella, Silence of a Stranger.

Elizabeth lives in Sussex, England. She is still an inveterate reader with eclectic tastes and she spends her spare time helping other writers improve their craft.

    This is an enjoyable book with an unexpected twist of mystery. Having read An Angels Touch I want to read another book by Elizabeth Bailey.

    The only problem I had with this work is that, like most in the genre, the end seems rushed. I really enjoyed the style and characters very much. I liked reading a Georgian rather than Regency period piece for a change, not that there's much to distinguish the two here in terms of style, but it was fun imagining this time period in which so much was changing. I felt like Bailey did a great job of bridging Fielding's period with Austen's.

    Fantastic storyline. The author wove a wonderful tale of love and forgiveness of oneself. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a great clean regency.

    I enjoyed this story and will definitely read more by Elizabeth. I wish they were a little shorter in some details. Thank you

    This was a well written story with a really good story line, but I just had a hard time with the heroine who lived in her head too much of the time. Being a Gothic Novel reader, and desiring to be a writer of the same, her constant thoughts of how things could possibly be worse and making up scenarios in her mind made her miss a lot of what was going on around her. After almost writing her own very unhappily-ever-after, she at last turned a corner in her thinking and ran to the HEA that was meant for her.

    We often have preconceived ideas about people and will act towards them accordingly. The realization of this fact occurs to Verity too late and she is forced to face her own prejudices. Excellent plot!

    sweet story

    Thanks, E Bailey, for a truly delightful story. I love the variety of characters and the twisty story line. Sympathetic treatment of all, except, of course, the villains, with a touch of humor as well. This story made me smile all the way through.

    very well written. Found no errors. Very much enjoyed from start to finish.

    Not being gifted with the heroine's vivid imagination, I did find it difficult sometimes to follow her (to me) twisted logic. But that's the joy of being allowed into a gifted author's imagination.

    Loved it! This is a lovely story - one of those historical romances that make one think of Georgette Heyer books.

    Reviewed in Australia on December 17, 2020
    A delightful novel that doesn’t shy away from tragedy. It’s full of engaging characters, from Verity and Henry to Wystan and Peggy. The milieu of Tunbridge Wells is vividly depicted, and as with all Bailey’s novels, it is expertly written and edited. Also check,out her Brides By Chance series. A sheer delight.

    Great trad regency with a good story, nicely confused lovers & a bit of skulduggery. A satisfying read with a nice period feel.
