Customer Reviews

Loved it!

I so enjoyed this book. It had a great hero and heroine and was really funny. I loved Melody. I haven't stopped laughing since I read the scene with Melody, Gordy Ann, and the pine cone.

fun read

this book was so enjoyable for me. i just laughed outloud during most of it. loved the spunky heroine.

Good read

This is typical Celeste Bradley. Humorous writing, a cheeky heroine, and a slightly misguided hero. There is a lot of adventure in this tale. However, you can still see Colin and Pru's love grow throughout the book. To address the previous reviewer who mentioned Colin's weakness for the actress. I felt like this was addressed adequately in the book at least for me because who hasn't once wished to believe that a frog was actually a prince? I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next one.

exhilarating historical

Sir Colin Lambert hopes he is the one who sired Melody, an infant left in front of his gentlemen's club three and a half years ago. Furthermore, he assumes the mother is his former mistress Chantal Marchant, an actress though he has problems understanding why she would abandon her baby without talking to him. Colin searches for Chantal without much success until he meets the actress's seamstress Pru Filby. Struggling to feed her younger brother and herself, Pru agrees to be Mellie's nanny while Colin continues his search for Chantal, whom he knows he loves. However, when the adults are separated, Pru with the baby enlists the aid of a traveling troupe. When Colin, worried about both females, finds them he ponders why he wants Pru who hides from him she loves him as she believes her former employer has his heart. The latest Runaway Brides Regency romance is an exhilarating historical tale that continues the saga of who Melody's father and mother are (see Devil in My Bed). The story line is fast-paced from the moment Colin decides it must be him and goes about searching for the love of his life only ironically to realize the love of his life is accompanying him on the search. Although the suspense serves as a catalyst it remains secondary to Colin's quest for love. Harriet Klausner
