Summary: The Overhandsome Duke and the Sensible Plain Miss
Review: I love this book; I read it over and over and over, a la my Carla Kelly collection, in fact, it appears on my list of romances I have read over 20+ times. One of the reasons I adore it is the juxtaposition of the characters; Judith Denny is a simple, almost plain parson's daughter under the wing of her dashing ton sister, Lady Fanny Spicer, whose staid husband Henry is ignoring her, leading Fanny into an indiscretion with another gentleman, and into giving Judy advice to treat eligible gentlemen very shabbily; hence the Duke of Ashland, a reserved, alarmingly handsom creature with hilariously frail cousins. There's a longer love train on these tracks than at an O'Jay's concert, but Reed makes it all work, and with the elan one expects from one of the best romance writers working in Regencies today. Judith and Ashland are whimsically and winningly drawn, and I hope everyone can be persuaded to read this book.

Summary: Very well done novel
Review: I was deeply impressed and immersed in this novel from the time I picked it up, and began reading it. The only thing that kept me from giving it 5 stars was the fact that there was about a 40 page span during the middle that slowed down the progress of the plot, and the momentum of the story. Otherwise, it was a delightful read, with a truly lovely heroine, and a dashing, if at sometimes bewildered hero. Overall, a wonderful story about two people falling in love, and about bringing back together two people who don't seem to realize they are still in love. The last is a little sidebar going on during the course of the main characters love story.
