About the author

47 books30 followersEver since I learned to read, I have loved books.
For almost as long, I have made up tales.
I’ve written horrible poetry, better short stories, adequate commercials, educational and industrial film narration, and very forgettable screenplays. Once I learned how to make a story last longer than a few paragraphs I moved on to novels, and there I stayed. I've written forty-three to date.

It all starts when the genteel but impowerished heroine (Tabby) is traveling to her new position as a governess. On the way she has to stop at an inn for the night,but is told that its full. Luckily she manages to spot an old aquitaince and tells him of her problem.
Turns out he was supposed to meet a friend there,but the friend didnt arrive.And as he has no intention to stay the night-she can have the room.
Relieved Tabby accepts and goes to bed. But unawares of the changed circumstances the missing friend arrives and is shown to the room and summarily gets into the bed. Only to find it already occupied by our heroine.
The man (Vivian Sanders) is not displeased with this.
Mistaking her for a lightskirt he kisses her,but is soon disabused of his notion.
In the morning the heroines continues on her journey but cant help but think of that rude man.
She hopes she will never see him again!
But of course this is a historical romance so she will.;)And the misunderstandings will become even bigger when other characters get involved.
This is a light and to tell the truth at times silly book. Yet I liked it. It works if you read it as a farce and doesnt take it too seriously.

A comedy of errors. Many of the characters were so silly, but it was fun in some parts. I didn't like the romance though. I think it was out of nowhere, that the ML was a hypocrite, and I didn't trust him at all. Tabby, on the other hand, was funny and mostly (mostly) smart. But she was surrounded by useless people (her employer + older daughter, her friend Perry, her mother).
More like 2.5 but I am being generous because it is the only book that kept me entertain in the last month approx.

A wild comedy of errors with a governess heroine and a rakehell. I enjoyed this, and found parts to be funny (although not laugh out loud hilarious). If you enjoy a good screwball kind of Reg Rom, check this one out.
