Funny and Delightful

Cathy Maxwell always delivers a fun and delightful read, and You and No Other is no exception. This action packed romantic comedy takes place over 5 days in London, mostly in the homes of the impoverished Lady Caroline Pearson and the rich James Ferrington. Caroline is a quiet but charming widow who yearns for more in life while James is also secretly lonely while he builds a shipping empire. When Caroline's dissolute brother-in-law loses her house to James in a game of cards, the demure widow is forced to confront James to get it back. From there, her life is turned upside down, starting with James' need to pretend she is his cousin when unexpected visitors arise. The supporting characters in the story are well drawn and delightful with all their machinations. Caroline and James are strong and likable. This is a great novel to laugh and love with!

Fun, funny, with twists and turns of humor and love.

You and No Other is such a fun read. It has plot twists and outrageously lovable characters who make you want to keep reading. You can't wait to get to the end of the book, but you are sad to be finished with the fun. A great read.

Hilarious Regency gem!

The sexual tension and war of wills in You And No Other is a treat. The hero and heroine are wonderful, and the secondary characters are a hoot. Cathy Maxwell is a funny, funny gal, and you will love this very satisfying read. (The scene where the hero bursts into song while tied up in the cellar is one of my favorites---bondage and song, what's not to like?!)

Spectacular Read!!

I found this one by accident. I zipped through this one in 2 days. It was difficult to put down at the end of my lunch hours. I even found myself reading at home when I had a few minutes then before bed. Anticipating the next day to get back into the story. The character development and involvement was intriguing and well done. I had a smile on my face throughout the book and was sad to see it end. Really looking forward to more of her books.

It was a very entertaining book !

"You And No Other" was a joy to read, I had to force myself to put it down. The book was funny, passionate, involving and heart-breaking. I'm looking for more of Cathy Maxwell's books to force myself to put down.
