Rating:  Summary: Another great regency Review: Nonnie St. George's second book gives proof to the fact that Ms. St. George is not a 'one horse wonder'.Ms. George takes a simple regency plot, commoner father wants title for daughter, and makes it sparkle! Her attention to detail is great, bringing the regency period to life. Not just the settings and trappings of the times but the whole aspect of living in those times. The mores and morals come through and Ms. George makes them part of her characters giving them life and breath. Her attention doesn't wane when it comes to secondary characters either. In a similar(but all her own)fashion to Patricia Veryan Ms. George makes these characters an interesting and integral part of the story. The Duchess of St. Fell and Aunt Ophelia separately are great characters. Together, they are priceless! But what draws me most to Ms. George's books is her use of dialogue. Down right laugh out loud! And the misunderstandings of those characters who are listening to the main characters conversations is too funny to tell! Courting Trouble is a great read as is The Ideal Bride, Ms. George's first novel. Don't miss these!
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely hilarious Review: This was the funniest book! I laughed and giggled my way through. A great love story told through Ms. St. George's unique comedienne's eye. You've got to love her books, I do!
