Customer Reviews

delightful "disguised" Regency romance....

what a wonderfully unusual Regency. While we have seen several Regencies where the heroine is in disguise, this was the first I've read where it's the hero in disguise. I loved the hero, Anthony-the product of a well born mother, and a military father, who were cast out of the family for marrying for love and they moved to India. The father commits suicide, and the family supposedly thinks the mother and child died in India as well. Fast forward 20+ years later, and the child, Anthony, comes back to England as he is the rightful Earl. His Uncle, who is the heroines ward but treats her like a servant, was about to claim the Earlship, and here is where the readers come in. I don't want to give away any more of the storyline, but the story is dramatic, funny, adventure filled and a mystery to boot. This is my first book by Miss Ward, but definitely not the last-recommended! 4 stars!

Could She Deny Her Growing Tendre For A Gentleman...

...Who Clearly Was Not Who He Pretended To Be? Miranda Gannet was a poor relation and treated little better than a servant at Carlisle House, possessing neither funds nor fortune to escape the miserable existence forced upon her by the death of her parents years ago. An outcast herself, she could hardly remain immune to the sad plight of Lord Carlisle's new houseguest, an eccentric gentleman claiming to be the new Earl of Severn, whose own family belived him to be an imposter! To her surprise, Miranda discovered that a man with keen intelligence and strong carriage was hiding behind those ridiculous spectacles, odd ways and strange speech. She had no way of knowing what kind of secrets the earl was hiding. But she did know that she found him much too appealing for a man who was evidently quite skilled at deception...
