Synopsis

Lord Percy Nibley needs a wife, preferably before his mother’s nagging on the subject drives him to distraction. But being more comfortable with his rock collection than flirting, he’s not having a lot of luck. In desperation, the shy nobleman enlists the help of Baron Marchmain - Lord August Bright. August is nothing short of dazzling. Charming, witty and amusing, he’s the darling of the ton, and a notorious heart-breaker. August selects a suitable young lady for Lord Nibley; Miss Patience Pearson, a cool, level-headed woman, close to being on the shelf and with the reputation of a blue-stocking, meanwhile setting his own sights on capturing the heart of her vivacious younger sister, Caroline. But Patience is not easily charmed, guarding her sister with the tenacity of a lioness and August must be at his most devastatingly charming to get past her defences. Having finally done so, however...August isn’t at all sure he’s chosen the right sister.

Oh, Marchmain, you truly believe you can outwit Miss Patience Pearson. Not when Emma V. Leech has a pen in hand. Once again, Leech weaves a sticky trail of a strong heroine and a sneaky nobleman who believes his experience and rakish ways can outmanoeuvre an innocent older sister. Over a barrel and......more

Good dialogue and characters I think Emma V Leech's gift is in witty, humerous dialogue. It is this which carries a story along for me. The bold statements that burst from a lady's mouth when least expected, th witty replies, even the angry ones all seem authentic. The hero or sometimes anti hero, ar......more
