Summary: A Pleasant Visit to Another Time
Review: Lord Langdon's Kiss is a lovely story. Elena Greene's writing style is smooth and unemcumbered. Her historical accuracy regarding customs and attitudes of the Regency Period helps the modern reader understand why the characters behave as they do. Although in Regency novels, one always knows who will end up with whom, it is enjoyable to go along for the ride when a clever writer such as Greene takes the reins. I look forward to reading her next book.

Summary: Fresh New Talent for the Regency Genre
Review: War-weary Lord Langdon returns to England after the war to find his estate and finances in great disorder. He also finds his younger brother in the clutches of the inappropriate yet very attractive Nel Ashley, who has the nerve to criticize him for the neglect of his family, his people and his estate. A series of Austin-esque misunderstandings and one very seductive kiss send both down the enchanted garden path to true love. Despite their misunderstandings, the passion between these two characters is palpable.

Ms. Greene's first book is well-researched and very well-written. She is a promising new voice for the Regency genre and I look forward to reading her next book!
