Extended description

A nearsighted Regency lady stumbles into the wrong carriage and arrives at the estate of handsome Lord Bryn, who mistakes her for a governess.

Review by: ACWinOH on Sep. 18, 2012 :
A sweet story. I enjoy "clean romance" so much more than the gratuitous sex many seem to feel their books need. I enjoy a Regency Romance now and then to Clean the Palate now and then and thought the description sounded a bit far fetched but once you begin reading, you can see how the poor dear could indeed end up where she didn't belong. And then the fun begins! I had a good time and hope you will too!

Review by: dlynx on July 05, 2012 :
a good romance that had the characters stick to and react as the reader would expect their described role/character to react to the various situations throughout the story. The writer did a good job in crafting the characters and the story line to make reactions believable based on how you got to know each character. Well done -- I enjoyed the story and characters as the unfolded.
