Kept by a Countess (It's a Dog's Life Series)

Rating:
Summary: Deadly peril brings unusual couple together.
Review: Widowed Meriel's mentally-unstable brother-in-law accuses her of being unfit to raise her boys and steals them away from her. With the aid of a rakish nobleman, Meriel rescues her sons and loses her heart in the process. Fine historical novel goes beyond mere comedy of manners to offer humor, sympathetic characters and realistic situations. A good read!
