The lady’s maid meets her match…
Wenna Chenoweth’s future is secure, until dashing Devon Courtney’s illicit flirtation gets her dismissed from her job as a lady’s maid. With nowhere to turn, Wenna is forced to accept Devon’s bold proposal To be his bride. To enter society on the handsome aristocrat’s arm. To give him the heir he requires. It’s a foolproof plan. Except Wenna finds herself falling hard for a man who can never love her for who she is….
Wenna is passionate, mysterious, and ill-suited to the idle life of a society wife. She’s also exactly the kind of woman who could endanger Devon’s hopes to build his own future far from his family’s influence. For the spirited beauty has embarked on an unthinkable plan of her own—one that could lead him to surrender his resolve, and sacrifice everything he believes he holds dear….
Yet amid the wondrous landscape of colonial South Australia, anything is possible. Perhaps even love between two people the boundaries of society would keep apart….

I find it extremely funny that in a lot of historical romances a red-headed lady is considered a hussy, fast or loose. I can honestly say that when I look at a lady with red hair, hussy is not my first thought. Maybe it’s because the first person I think of with red hair is Anne…of Green Gables. She is the LAST person I would think of as fast or loose. Wenna, the redhead in this story is not a hussy but she does have a trait that seems to be attached to the colour of her hair…fiery. In temper and attitude.Wenna is a hard-working lady’s maid. She has been in service since she was 13 years old, the age when her mother died. Wenna has worked her way up through the ranks but she doesn’t plan to stay a servant forever. She has plans, big ones. With the higher income afforded to a lady’s maid position, she hopes to save up enough to go into business for herself while also sending money to her Grandparents in Cornwall. Things are going well until the day her employer hosts a cricket match…and catches one of the player's eye. It seems the smooth-talking gentleman has a thing for red heads.
Devon is a man on a mission. Actually, he’s got a few missions on his plate but the latest one involves bedding the flame-haired miss who had the nerve to talk back to him. For Devon, this is extremely refreshing. Most women of his acquaintance know that he’s the son of an Earl, an eligible bachelor, and, if he doesn’t mind saying so himself, fairly attractive. Not meaning to, he accidentally gets the woman he’s attracted to, fired from her job. Feeling a tad guilty, and seeing a plan (that will work in his favour) form in his mind, he takes the opportunity to help her out...by offering her marriage.
Wenna is not a silly woman and she’s hesitant to believe this gentleman wants anything more than a tumble. Devon knows his fiery miss won’t just settle for some sweet words to get what he wants. Maybe it’s time to arrange a deal.
For Wenna and Devon, things are not easy or straightforward. Wenna doesn't know a lot about Devon but what she sees makes her frustrated. He doesn't seem to have a purpose and spends money frivolously. Devon knows that Wenna started their relationship with a plan to keep things businesslike but the longer they are together, the more he starts to feel for her. They also have to tackle the questions of why a gentleman would marry a maid...and a red-haired hussy to boot.
I loved that Virginia Taylor has given us a glimpse into the past and what it took to get a little town started in the Australian outback. The social classes seemed a little different too. It was explained that titles, while important, didn’t hold as much weight as they do in England. In Australia, if you were a hard worker and could make your fortune by coming up with new ideas and practices, you held as high a place in society. We are also given a little glimpse of what a working woman faced if she decided to open a business of her own. All of these things fascinated me.
I really enjoyed Wenna. There were times that I thought their lack of communication was a little too drawn out and caused unnecessary drama. I had my married-lady hat on and I wanted to shake my finger at Wenna and Devon to lecture them on the importance of communication in a relationship. Luckily for them, they worked it out in the end.
Wenna was another great instalment to this series. I will definitely be keen to read more in the future.

Wenna South Landers Book 4 edition by Virginia Taylor Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
'Wenna' by Virginia Taylor is book Four in the "South Landers" series. This is the story of Wenna Chenoweth and Devon Courtney. I have read some of the other books but feel this is easily a standalone book. Wenna is a ladies maid but also does other things for the family she works for. The family's daughter is spoiled and hateful to Wenna. Wenna is just a hard working women who is trying to keep her promise to departed parents that she will take care of her Grandparents. Devon had come to visit and the family had hoped to marry him off to their daughter but Devon is having none of that. As a matter of fact he takes a liking to Wenna. Wenna happens to accidentally run into Devon in the hallway and is caught by the daughter who turns what she saw into something ugly to get Wenna fired. But Devon takes to leaving with Wenna and they start to talk about them getting married. Wenna doesn't think he is for real at first.
Can these two make a go of a marriage? This was another sweet romance by Ms. Taylor! "My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read."
What I adore about Wenna is that she doesn't mince her words and she understands the work ethic. I adore Devon because he is her perfect counterpart, patient, reliable, and willing to love. As for the story, the setting couldn't be bettered, with the delicate peppering of historical events.
This is my first read in the South Landers series, and now I'm hooked. Wenna and Devon have wonderful chemistry, with just the right mix of passion and strength. The setting--colonial South Australia--is an extra treat!
It's 1865 and both men and women in Australia have the opportunity to make something of themselves. Wenna works as a lady's maid and has a secure business plan for her future. Unfortunately Devon messes things up for her. Because of him she loses her job and her reputation. Devon loved a fiery redhead in his past and decides to help the red haired Wenna by marrying her in exchange for an heir. Devon is the son of an earl from Cornwall. He needs to go back to England and they plan to travel together, it is where Wenna wants to go to as well to visit her only living relatives. The match seems to be a good one, but can a man with a high status in society fall in love with someone from a much lower class? Wenna wonders why Devon married her. What will Wenna's future be like now that she doesn't even know if she's financially secure, does she need to look for work to support them and can Devon be trusted?
Wenna is an ambitious and driven person. She has a kind heart and she has a good head on her shoulders, which are ideal qualities for the business she wants to start. Devon doesn't seem to take earning money seriously and Wenna has no idea where his monthly payments come from. For her money is incredibly important, but Devon doesn't seem to care about it at all. They're from different backgrounds, but Wenna is a classy lady and can easily be taken to any society event. Devon might have made a good match, but at first he's a bit rude and incredibly selfish. He likes Wenna, but has a lot to learn about the woman he married. Their match seems random and unusual and that makes it really interesting and fun to read about.
Virginia Taylor's writing flows easily and I enjoyed reading about Australia in the nineteenth century. The relationship between Wenna and Devon is complicated, every day is a new challenge and because of that there happens a lot. I admired Virginia Taylor's ability to always be in control. She makes the sequence of events seem entirely natural. I loved how the two headstrong main characters are trying to find their place in their impulsive marriage and was fascinated by the many unexpected twists and turns. I was spellbound by Virginia Taylor's impressive descriptions of society and the large number of issues women were struggling with in that time. Wenna is an entertaining story and I loved reading it.
