Due to her father’s investment acumen, Lucy Swinton finds herself a guest at a duke’s country house party. Still, she knows her place, for the nobility frown on their titled sons marrying a merchant’s daughter.

The Earl of Camberley, a renowned rake, is expected to propose to a young lady of his mother’s choosing. But Camberley can’t bring himself up to scratch. Instead, he drinks himself into a stupor and ends up in Lucy’s bedchamber.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

As an avid reader, I became a fan of Georgette Heyer's Regency novels, then started writing Regency romance novels as a hobby. I particularly enjoy writing about strong, resourceful women in an age where it was thought that women were incapable of taking care of themselves and couldn't own property.

Kindle e-books have allowed me to grow as a writer. With each novel, I have made mistakes, but I have learned so much along the way. I like to read reviews from my readers and am thankful that they take the time to critique my work.

I am currently retired in beautiful Port Royal, SC, with my husband and our dog Sally, happily working away on my next novel.

    Enjoyable read. This is the first book I have read by this author. It was an interesting story between royalty and rich trade families. I think those in trade got the better deal.

    For an easy read, I liked the plot. However, reading the description of her eyes and his chest and shoulders over and over and over and over took away from the enjoyment of the tale. The author also needs a new editor, judging by the amount of errors in the text.

    The picture on the cover does not match the heroine at all except for being a female. She was described as having copper curls and blue-green eyes. Not so with the cover. It's a turnoff for me since the first thing I notice is a book cover.

    The author believes that the heroine is strong and resourceful, but unfortunately she is far off the mark. The heroine comes off as immature, indecisive, unreasonable, and whiney.
    But the heroine is only one part of the problem. The writing is stilted. There is no flow of story line. It's like a dancer who does not carry through on each step, but rather cuts them off (or a violinist who stops short on a bow that should be carried through). Yes. No. Ok I agree. Rinse and repeat. So characters and plot are not properly developed. Consequently, nothing is believable. The mother's hatred, Priscilla's hatred, the father's sudden turn around... The characters all seem like bad actors in a play, merely reading lines without solid direction. Unfortunately, it would take me almost as long as the novel to detail all the issues, but suffice it to say if you are a critical reader of Regency or historical romances, this one does not do the genre justice. However, if you are simply in it for the happy ending, you may find it a pleasant read.

    I fell asleep reading this, sorry to have wasted my time. Same old dull misjudged rogue becomes a prince. So many good authors out there with inventive and also realistic historical books, not this one.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 17, 2024
    I really love reading Margaret Bennett books. This one was very enjoyable. I loved the fact that Lucy was so strong minded that she told Philip she would not marry him even though she would ruin her reputation if she didn’t because he was an aristocrat. It was funny. It had some mystery and romance, it would have been lovely to have had an epilogue.
