Members Reviews:

Enjoyable read!

I gave it only four stars because even though I liked it very much, it became a little wordy at one time. The story is nice and I got involved with the characters. I also bought the audio version and it was an excellent experience. It is recommended for romantics who to not mind a few sexy scenes - not as tawdry or as many as in some other novels - which I find a plus in this kind of novel. I plan to look for other books by the same author and hope to find the same enjoyment I did in this one.

I love Annie Burrows' historical romances!

Wonderfully passionate and sublimely romantic, An Escapade and An Engagement is an engrossing tale of sweet deception, powerful temptation and illicit desire from the outstanding Annie Burrows!

Lady Jayne Chilcott's reputation as an ice queen is well deserved. Despite of her dazzling beauty and impeccable pedigree, the Earl of Caxton's stunning granddaughter refuses to even contemplate picking a suitor from the plethora of admirers who profess their love for her on a daily basis. Although she is well aware that her disdain for the gentlemen who pay court to her has made her the subject of scurrilous gossip, Lady Jayne isn't the slightest bit interested in what the Ton has to say about her - not when she can seek solace in the arms of a breathtakingly handsome soldier who is madly in love with her! Jayne is counting down the days until she can escape the stifling confines of society and become a soldier's wife. However, Jayne's matrimonial plans are thwarted when she catches the eye of a titled gentleman who is on the lookout for a countess: Richard, Lord Ledbury...

Nobody had been more surprised than Richard when he had inherited the title of Lord Ledbury and all the responsibilities that go with it! Richard had thought that he was going to spend the rest of his life on the front line fighting the enemy - he certainly never thought he would have to resign his commission, take up residence at his grandfather's magnificently opulent house, Lavenham House, and find a suitable bride.
