Gather Ye Rosebuds (Regency Romance)

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Joan Smith book!
Review: One of my absolute favorite Joan Smith books-- this one is a keeper!

While arranging her new studio, Zoie finds a valuable stolen necklace secreted in her late uncle's belongings-- and makes the mistake of trying to return it to the rightful owner. Lord Weylin catches her trying to sneak the necklace back, and so begins a delightful search for the meaning behind this mystery.

Excellent characters like Mrs. Brodagan ("Mrs. Brodagan had never known marital bliss, for which every bachelor in Christendom should get down on his knees and thank the Almighty.") populate the book, and the growing romance between Weylin and Zoie is delightful, zany, and full of the witty dialogue for which Joan Smith is famous.
