About the author

Doris Emily Hendrickson lives in Reno, Nevada, with her husband, a retired airline pilot. Of all the many places she has traveled around the world, England is her favorite, and the most natural choice as the setting for her novels. In addition to her Regency romances, she has written a Regency Reference Book.

She is also the recipient of the Romantic Times award for the Best Regency of 1993 for Elizabeth's Rake and the Colorado Romance Writers 1997 Award of Excellence for The Debonair Duke. She is a nominee for the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for Regency Romance.

Emily also enjoys stamps and stamping, and several of her flower designs, originally created for bookmarks for her Regencies, have been made into stamps.

Many of my books were re-published in England by Robert Hale Publishing House of London. My publisher requested that I use three pseudonyms for my English hard cover books. I chose the names: Emily Hendrickson, Emily Johnson, and Emily Harland.

Reviews

[K · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dumb. Choppy, with lots of loose ends, I spent the entire book waiting (without reward) for someone to explain what the deal was with the previous baron.

[Glen · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's hard to believe that neither of the main characters were able to figure out what was going on, when it was reasonably obvious fairly early on. The ending was unimaginative, and left a lot of other unanswered questions.

Regency

[Kathryn · Rating 2 out of 5]

It's a fairly good story but there were some unanswered questions.

[tired · Rating 3 out of 5]

More 2.5 writing good but even at 217 pages it seemed to long. Clean

I'm really digging Hendrickson's style, but there were a couple of events in this one that made even my suspension of disbelief balk. Still, it was a sweet short satisfying regency read.
