A TREAT ~ REGENCY WITH HUMOR AND WIT !!

Barbara Metzger is such a hidden talent ~ Certainly deserving of more recognition. Minor Indiscretions is a gem. The heroine Melody Ashton, barely out of the schoolroom, is now home to deal with the family scandal. Lady Ashton has been a guardian to several orphans (ahem... illegitimate children of the ton) and now is accused of stealing the contributions. Lord Coe comes to investigate on behalf of his sister, whose child also resides at the manor. Melody and Lord Coe, having met earlier (smile), continue their courtship in the middle of mayhem. This includes pigs running wild, a dog inapproriately named Angel, the self-medicating Lady Ashton and many others. I would mention more of the story but I wouldn't like to ruin your enjoyment. It's pure fun and I promise you that you will laugh out loud. What pleases me the most; is that the essence of a regency remains. The writing is clever and the dialogue witty. I've read two of her books so far (the other ~ Lord Heartless ~ Recommended) and look forward to more. It's always a treat when you find a writer of this quality.
