Ms Allain has such a way with telling this story! It sure makes settling in for a light read so much fun-I skipped an evening out!
What a fun read!

It's a comedy of manners and mistaken identities and is a hoot. It's not quite as good as Allain's MR MALCOLM'S LIST, and so I believe it deserves 4 and a half stars from me but I'm rounding up. One reviewer complained of it being boring, but with only 190 pages to read, I didn't have time to get bored even if I had wanted to. It's light, it's slight and it's fun.
Excellent story for young and old alike

Allain has come close to perfection in telling a tale innocent enough for a young girl to dream and intelligent enough for an older woman to remember younger years. The tale of a headstrong younger sister who is willing to sacrifice her life in marriage to allow her older sister freedom to love, and her own future a bit of excitement is simple enough. However, it finds its way over pleasant trips and turns as both Emily and Lord Wesleigh fumble their way along thwarted attempts at matchmaking. Lord Wesleigh is also a character - bit rebellious and romantic - to his dismay. The story unfolds into a humorous and entertaining tale sure to delight all.An admirer of Jane Austen, Allain's book reads as I would imagine Austen's books were they to be written today.Well worth the price of a printed copy, and an irrestible buy in electronic format!
Excellent book, excellent bargain!

This story was charming! Good story, lots of romance. Well written and at moments had me laughing out loud. Believable characters and the best part....it was only $2.00! I've paid more and got less before, but not with this one. If you're into the "boy meets girl" ROMANCE rather than graphic sex, then this wonderful story is sure to appease your Regency fix and then some. Hope to see more from this author.

This book was very entertaining- once I started reading it I couldn't stop. It reminded me of when I began dating my husband and made me wish were dating again. Any fans of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest would enjoy this story of mistaken identities.
