Publisher's Summary:

In the whirlwind Regency Love series, Marion Chesney brings us spirited, independent women who are bewitching, beguiling, and determined to make their marks on the world.

Even the inhabitants of secluded Nethercote looked pityingly upon young Henrietta, the vicar's sister; her plain features seemed to almost guarantee her a solitary future. And yet she has a determined spirit and magnificent hazel eyes. So when her great-aunt Hester left her unexpected wealth, Henrietta set out to conquer London's glittering high society and confound them all. But the fashionable elite was less than warm in its reception, especially when the newcomer, this bold minx, made clear her intention of winning the heart of one of society's most treasured gems: the irresistible, extravagant, heart-stopping Lord Beau Reckford, a prize wildly beyond her humble origins.

Members Reviews:

Cardboard characters and silly plot but has its moments.

This is the first or among the first of Chesney's published novels and borders on amateurish. The main character bounces from mood to mood, from idiotic to sensible with breathtaking rapidity. The plot is ridiculously melodramatic, too crowded, and horribly rushed. But Chesney does better than most Heyer imitators in capturing the milieu (even if she does appear to have done her research entirely within the covers of Heyer's fiction). And she has something that other Heyer imitators usually lackâa sense of humor. I suspect most of her other early work is similarly flawed. But I'll give it a try to see whether she improves.

Pleased & Entertained

It felt a lot like the Georgetta Heyer novels that I read in my youth and it was exactly what I wanted. I enjoyed the characters she created and was disappointed when the book came to an end as I enjoyed spending time with them. I will look for more of this author's work.

Very good

As most of M C Beaton's novels, this one was a lot of fun. It's light reading recommended for just about any age. There is romance, mystery, misunderstandings, and a cast of characters you would want to meet.

Four Stars

I enjoyed this story

Great regency romance

I love Marion Chesney and have read all of her books at least once, some of them twice. She is fun and funny.
