Rating:  Summary: Enchanting, sweet, funny :) Review: As a part of her "eccentric" grandfather's will Lady Megan must spend six months as a servant in someone's home. Not one to back down from a challenge, especially one that promises to be fun, "Meggy" enters the Earl of Argyle's rarely visited country estate as a maid. And then Justin and his town friends descend on the house along with his flighty mother, rascal bother, and crazy uncle. A spunky, intelligent, hoyden and a stuffed shirt of a Nobleman! Whatta combination! She can't (and won't) help who she is and he can't help but fall in love. A pleasure to read! Away from the confines of the ton's rigid rules the characters break out in true form: real, funny, sometimes vunerable, always human. Meggy is truly ahead of her times and Justin tries (poor man) so hard not to give in to himself. CH's writing of the different relationships in the story is also flawless and touching. The personalities of the main and supporting characters are seamless and indentifiable. One author I will be following. A definite keeper!
Rating:  Summary: THE MAID IS A LADY! Review: Charming story with an unusual twist. In order to gain her vast inheritance, Lady Margaret "Megan" must abide by her late grandfather's wishes and go into 'service' for 6 months. The lawyer is aghast - but Megan's affection for her lovingly eccentric grandfather, was reason enough for her to carry through with the masquerade. She becomes a maid in the Earl of Arglye country home - believing that she is safe not only because it's well known the Earl doesn't dally with the 'lower orders' but because the estate was usually deserted! Needlesstosay, the family chooses this time to visit and uncharacteristically Maid 'Meggy' becomes a companion to the Earl's scatterbrained mother, friend to his younger brother and...the Earl's greatest temptation! This is an excellent read if you can find a copy of it!
