Excellent

Emily Ashbourne is a feisty Regency heroine in the best traditions. Determined to avoid the marriage to a rich mill owner her father is trying to foist upon her, she engages the services of the handsome aristocratic lawyer, the Honourable Philip Langford, demanding justice for the mill workers. Sparks fly but thats the electricity, as she is swept of her feet by the hotheaded charm of the lovable rascal. Philip adopts a trial strategy little short of foolhardy when he fails to seek to amend his claim to include causes of action which post-date the issue of proceedings, but this only fans the flickering flames in Emily's heart. So too does Philip's roguish lack of attention to detail in his obviously unprepared cross-examination of the mill owner. Make no mistake, April Kihlstrom, author of The Slaphappy Surgeon and The Negligent Architect is back to her best with this Regency pageturner.
