The Hellions

by Elizabeth Kelley

In Regency England, the lives of young ladies of quality followed very predictable paths--from the schoolroom to the ballrooms of the town to the bedroom of a titled gentleman. A proper education included all the things a lady would need to know to run her husband`s household. At Miss Markham`s School of Decorum and Deportment, however, we meet six girls who refuse to meekly follow thier proscribed paths. They form a club, christen themselves "The Hellions" and vow to determine their own fates. While at school, they secretly explore forbidden worlds and learn things most ladies have never heard of, let alone tried. The fun story really begins after school is finished. As each young lady continues her adventures, she meets a man determined to thwart her. Sparks fly, tempers are frayed lost, retribution swiftly delivered and ultimately hearts are lost. But isn`t love the greatest adventure of all?

This is a really good book about six young ladies who have decided to defy convention and do things their own way. After graduating finishing school they each have to reenact a dangerous stunt which puts each of them in the path of a gentleman who knows just how to deal with rebellious young ladies. It was great fun reading about each girl and how they each found just the right man for themselves.
