About the author

Librarian note:
There is more than one author with this name

Beth Andrews (a.k.a. Paul Bethel) was born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas. At the age of about seven, “Beth” was reading completely inappropriate tales of murder and love in True Detective and True Romance magazine. It wasn't long before he started writing stories, often with a strong note of satire. Graduating to Georgette Heyer and Jane Austen, Regency romance and mystery was a natural progression—though Paul still pens occasional contemporary stories and song lyrics just for fun, as well as non-fiction articles and essays for Jane Austen’s Regency World. Paul also enjoys music, gardening, travel (pre-pandemic, of course) and the beach. His ebooks are now published by Joffe Books in the UK and Regency Reads in Oregon.

Amusing story. Our hero thinks he dislikes the heroine but actually as time goes on it's obvious that it started as a bad case of unrequited love that he damped down and now has risen as lust.

I enjoyed the friends.
