Curse of the Mayfair Mummy

by Jane Charles

Henry Cochran, Earl of Kilsyth, was never meant to be an earl. Nevertheless, the title is his, along with the ennui. He has nothing to excite or challenge him. At least that is the case until he unintentionally wins an Irish lass in a game of chance and undertakes an interesting new project—turning the lass into a lady.

Eve Doyle had once known privilege and thought her future set. That was, until her brother’s monumental mistake that forced them to flee Ireland and take up residence in Covent Garden. Just when she thought she’d be able to control her life, her brother wagered her at the gaming tables—and lost.

Now she must endure the next two years as ward to Lord Kilsyth—a gentleman who wishes to change her as so many have in the past. However, the bigger challenge for both of them will be to keep from losing their hearts.

The Wiggons’ School for Elegant Young Ladies meets My Fair Lady with a twist.

This story has been heavily influenced by one of my all-time favorite musicals—My Fair Lady. Enjoy!

Beware the Mummy

Well the 3 school girls seem to be growing up finally. Although the mystery of the stolen mummy occupies them, it's the 3 new students that one needs to watch. The focus is on Eve Doyle, her sister and the Earl of Kilsyth. A bit of My Fair Lady ensues before the romance takes off. A clean, sweet romance.

I enjoyed this book, it was sweet and entertaining. I enjoyed how Eve was so confident and how Henry cared for her but not sure how to show it. The only confusing part was the storyline from the young girls about the curse of the Mayfair Mummy. It was never resolved.
