PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Long adds a sixth volume to her Pennyroyal Green series I Kissed an Earl, etc.) with this run-of-the-mill historical romance. Julian Spenser, marquess Dryden, sets trends that the rest of England hurries to follow, but he meets his match in schoolteacher Phoebe Vale. Julian plans to wed someone else, but he's so drawn to Phoebe that he asks her to be his mistress. Despite their mutual attraction, she refuses, but others take note of Julian's interest in Phoebe, and men are soon vying for her attention as part of a series of cruel bets. Snappy, playful banter between Phoebe and Julian will appeal to Regency fans, but despite an opening scene of gunplay, initially slow pacing will frustrate those in search of a livelier tale.
Customer Reviews
Another great book
Each book I have read in this series has been unique. Some authors write their story lines all so similar, you start to predict what will happen next. Not J A L. Her books are all fabulously different.
Great writer, great read
I loved this book! The characters are very likable and the story is entertaining and funny. It is a good romance but most of all it is a great, well written book.
So sweet
I loved Phoebe's character. She wasn't weak or looking to be saved. She's strong, intelligent and original! Great love story I have in a long time.
