Description de l’éditeur
#1 New York Times–bestselling author: “Nobody does Victorian romance hijinks like Alexander . . . Fabulously snappy banter, and a soupçon of sex.” —Publishers Weekly
Delilah, the very proper widowed Lady Hargate, and Mr. Samuel Russell, previously acquainted during one unforgettable night in New York City when caution—and clothing—were thrown to the wind, will choose to pretend they have never met before when they wind up at the same wedding months later in England.
The lady plans to avoid love and its complications at all costs. The gentleman intends to change her mind.
Guests are invited to enjoy the many diversions of Millworth Manor as Delilah’s sister and Samuel’s friend are joined in matrimony—delightful grounds, lavish drawing rooms, secluded corners—and for Delilah and Samuel, the chance to discover that one night may have been only the beginning . . .
“Sparkling dialogue and endearing characters make this an enthralling read.” —Sabrina Jeffries, New York Times–bestselling author
“Alexander’s latest wickedly funny historical romance is the perfect synthesis of love and laughter.” —Booklist

Dee returns to England certain she will never again lay eyes or anything else on Sam again, and when he arrives at Millworth to attend the wedding, Dee pretends not to know him. Much harder is pretending not to love him. Harebrained schemes, fabulously snappy banter, and a soup on of sex will delight Alexander's fans.
Avis d’utilisateurs
The Scandalous . . . Sister of the Bride. Oceanrosebud
Sparkling humor fills this novel about two endearing characters--Sam and Delilah. Even the secondary characters who are met in Alexander's other novels are given their full personalities and lend a more interesting plot. The surprising twists in this story just add more enjoyment. But what will be most fun is the sparring dialogue between Sam andDelilah who give the story it's ultimate terrific spin on what is love.
Entertaining
Although the first third moved a little slowly in some aspects, and some of the plots devices a little worn, still, it is an entertaining read, and pretty fun.
This series all seems to revolve around rediscovering love, but is perhaps a little more repetitive of plot than necessary. If it weren't for the lighthearted style, and excellent characters, I would,not recommend.
