Nancy Butler's first effort well illustrates just why this talented writer has fast become one of the best-loved authors in Regency Romance today. Robert MacIntyre, the Earl of Monteith is a dour man who follows a straight and narrow path to preserve his reputation and standing in the ton. But then he meets Evelynne Marriott, a charmingly headstrong heroine who is more concerned with keeping her family together than observing the social niceties of a well-bred young gentlewoman. When this unlikely duo meet, Robbie soon finds himself off his narrow path and onto a rocky road of danger, whimsy, and most importantly, love. I couldn't put this story down as I waited for Robbie to truly realize just what a gift he had found in Evelynne.

Thoroughly enjoyable, great characters

I couldn't put this down either! The characters were really well drawn, including the minor characters such as Arkady and Gil, Evelynne's brother. The plot was entertaining, and I loved Evelynne's resourcefulness.I did find Robbie's change of heart towards the end of the book a bit unconvincing. Having said he loved Eve, and making it clear he wanted to marry her, suddenly he disbelieves her and goes out of his way to hurt her? And his behaviour in Arkady's carriage on the way to London seemed out of character as well.But Butler resolved it all in the end, and I'm looking forward to reading this book again.

A top-notch Regency

This is very well written, true to the period, and has great characters. What a story! This is definitely a keeper. I can't wait for Nancy Butler's next book.

Don't miss this book.

Evelynne and Robbie are a mesmering duo whose romp through the countryside is funny, lyrical, poignant and utterly romantic. This is a clever, original read. I can't wait for Ms. Butler's next! (Please let it be Arkady's story.)

A can't-put-it-down-book

I couldn't believe this book. It's wonderful! I wasn't able to put it down. There is so much adventure going on that it just keeps you running and wondering what will happen next. This is a first novel from Nancy Butler and it is definitely a keeper. This author is on her way if she keeps this kinds of wonderful writing up. Her descriptions of the Regency period are enough to make even a non-Regency reader appreciate the clothing, carriages, castles and lifestyles of the ton. I can't wait for her next book
