Half-fae Lenox Pendry is surrounded by secrets and none are his to keep. Plucked from his mother’s arms as an infant and raised a changeling, Lenox grows to adulthood unaware of what and who he is and oblivious to the danger unfolding as his birthday draws near. After he’s unwittingly sent to the Scottish Lowlands out of harm’s way, he chances to meet a beautiful healer named Janet Roxburgh. The townspeople believe her to be a witch. It would appear Janet has a few secrets of her own. Note: Madeline Archer is the pen name of award-winning author Rose Anderson. The Changeling comes from the sweeter side of Rose’s imagination and was inspired by the Scottish ballad of Tam Lin. Rated PG.

Great story By Luv2read Paranormal Romance: The Changeling - A Sweet Romance Novel by Madeline Archer is nicely set up in the prologue, which takes place in 1867 with the switching of babies. The one born to Lady Amelia (who already lost 5 to the grave) is weak and dying and the one born to another family (who have already birthed 7) are being switched by Frances March, Lady Amelia’s maid, and butler Osgood, who are the only two who know this secret. But one has to wonder if this secret will remain as the baby looks like a mixed race with tiny pointed ears. The prologue then moves on to 1872 and there is talk of the baby being a changeling and the father is John. John is also the brother of the husband of Lady Amelia Pendry. John is now dead and there’s mention that his son, the baby Lenox, Earl of Pendry, found his way to the real family now headed by his uncle. There’s a great sense of mysterious anticipation as the mother of the baby enters the scene and wants to know how her baby is, to know if he’s safe.The story then jumps to Chapter one “Lennox” in 1891 and is written from his POV and we get a deeper feel for Lennox, his mother, Lady Pendry, and her dog, Dudley the mastiff—who features nicely into the storyline. Lennox has abilities: he sees things clearly like plant auras and talks to Dudley through telekinesis. Adding to the earlier mention of pointed ears and mixed race, a clear and very interesting alluring image is forming. Lady Pendry is also rather interesting and their relationship easy to read and inviting. She likes to dabble: in collecting artists, exotic plants, Royal Ascot, and the lives of everyone around her. She had a good sense for match making. There’s mention of Lennox’s father dying from a ruptured appendix and leaving a rich estate. The scene progresses with an Uncle dying and Lennox has to travel to evaluate the estate that has been left to him. As he is leaving, Lady Pendry pulls a letter out that she has had for twenty years. It is from Lennox’s real mother revealing she is aware of what has happened, that her baby, who was father’s by John (Lady Pendry’s late husband’s brother) is with her and she is joyful about knowing where he is and that he will be taken care of. Also mentioned in the letter is Lady Pendry is able to see him brought safely to manhood whereas his mother wouldn’t be able to. The mystique increases as she writes, “Never reveal he is of both world—human and fae.” The truth will harm him. Tension, storyline conflict, has been established and this well-written, intelligent narrative moves along at a good and very interesting pace with characters bringing scenes alive with personality.The love interest enters the story and plot twist takes place as we read on. Lennox stops at an inn for food when a midwife descends the stairs and he’s instantly smitten by “cupid” spear into his heart. Whispers are she is a witch and history tells us not all that long ago witches were burned at the stake. She’s a healer and we find out that when he arrives at the estate he’s inherited the housekeeper who is ill is being tended to by the beauty, Janet Roxburg who happens to have tiny pointed ears, just like Lennox. Secrets abound as the story continues. I don’t want to retell the story here and this is already long enough. Suffice it to say this is a very well written, engaging, story with all sorts of deeper historical tidbits and storylines involving the characters, their family lines, and the townsfolk culture. Scenes are written vividly with date and culture appropriate dialogue that overall made this a delightful read right down the satisfying ending that ties all the pieces together.

He’s also a changeling, and part fae, though he’s unaware of those facts. Born of a fae mother and a human father the night his father, John Pendry, is killed by Oonagh, mad queen of the fae, he is switched at birth with a human child, the son of a baker, in an effort to save his life. Fortunately for Lenox, a second switch takes place that same night when Lady Pendry’s expected child is stillborn. Because her husband has just died, and this is her fifth stillbirth, the sister of the midwife takes the changeling from the baker’s cradle and switches it for Her Ladyship’s dead son. Thus Lenox grows up in the home of his real father though no one’s aware, while the baker’s child is raised by Queen Oonagh for a nefarious purpose.Fear of aging and jealousy of her half-sister Orlaith, Lenox’s real mother, have driven Oonagh to murder her parents so she can ascend the fae throne. On their twenty-fifth birthdays, she intends to kill both Rowan, the baker’s child, and Lenox, her nephew, using their innocent blood to gain wishes from Hell…one being eternal youth, the other her desire for Orlaith’s death.Forces in the fae kingdom and the human world conspire to help Lenox, as citizens of both kingdoms brave Oonagh’s wrath.Lenox grows up in the Pendry house as a good and honest man. Drawn to botany and science, he’s loved by people and animals alike, and has the ability to see auras. When he travels to Scotland to take title to lands inherited from his great-uncle, he meets Janet, a healer and suspected witch. In reality, Janet’s also half-fae, and Lenox’s love for her brings about the revealing of the many truths concerning the young noble’s life, as well as his aunt’s murderous plan.With the exception of a bit of confusion for me in the Prologue (which I had to read three times to make certain I had the facts correct in my mind), this is a well-written, well-plotted, and well-characterized story. There are some grammatical errors, though these in no way detract from the reading enjoyment.The story is told both from Lenox’s point of view, giving the narrative a personal perspective, and also the omniscient Third Person, explaining to the reader things occurring of which Lenox would have no knowledge. These two phrases of narration keep the pace moving and inject an intimate note as it chronicles Lenox’s love for Janet.Utilizing the author’s knowledge of folklore, the novel dramatizes in a delightful way the story of the changeling, making the faery characters—from fae princess to glamour-inducing hobgoblin—as well as their human counterparts, endearing and likable. In the “About the Author” following the story, it’s stated she “crafts characters that stay with you long after the last page has turned.” This is definitely so in the case of The Changeling. For quite some time afterward, the fate of the human changeling Rowan stayed in my mind.All in all, it’s a sweet, enchantment-filled romance. Lenox, Janet, and even Rowan are characters the reader will take to her heart.This novel was supplied by the author and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. If you like to sink comfortably into an engrossing book, I recommend this one. By Jane Leopold Quinn I love Madeline Archer/Rose Anderson's first-person books. The Changeling is wonderful to read. Lenox Pendry, the fae changeling, is a smart, charming man with the unusual ability to sense auras of the people around him. Raised in a happy family, he fulfills family responsibility by going to the Scottish Lowlands to take over his uncle's estate. He has no idea how to handle the details but learns quickly. Janet Roxburgh is a local healer and witch, beloved by most of her neighbors. Lenox falls instantly in love at first sight. Janet resists him as long as she can. Their relationship changes when he saves her life. The Changeling is a convoluted story about birth mothers, the fae, tragedies, and victories, along with many twists and turns. If you like to sink comfortably into an engrossing book, I recommend this one.
