Wonderful!

This was the first Barbara Metzger book I ever read and got me permanently hooked on all of her books.Jacelyn is determined to save her dog from the local magistrate so she decides to kidnap his nephew. Only she mistakes her target and kidnaps Lord Leigh Claibourne, a rake and war-hero. When the pair is discovered in a compromising situation, Leigh is determined to do what is right. So he and Jacelyn travel to London to present a repectable engagement before the ton. But Jacelyn has other ideas as she leads Leigh from one scrape to another and proves that love is the best adventure of all.This book has marvelous characters and great writing. Add the Metzger trademark "Keystone Cop" bad-guys and more zany characters and you have the best mix-up of outrageous humor and Regency fun.
