Love Match

By Maggie Mackeever

Newlywed Elizabeth Chavers is beside herself with shock. It seems her groom, Lord Charnwood, has not only been married before, but his former wife Magda has turned up on their wedding night Stifling her own independent nature, Elizabeth had entered the nuptials determined to become the proper, biddable wife she thought Justin wanted - all the while believing that at least his character was beyond reproach. But now that she knows otherwise, she sees little reason to play the prim and proper miss longer...Lord Charnwood can scarcely believe his damnable luck. He'd never expected Magda would be forced to take refuge with him and his new bride. And he'd certainly never imagined that Elizabeth would reveal a most unexpected spirit by taking up with one of the ton's handsomest rogues. There's little help for it now...and even less time to lose. To salvage this marriage, Justin will have to show his adorably determined wife just how much he has grown to care for her - and turn an impossible situation into a perfect match.

Customer Reviews

Bravo, Maggie!

If you don't like your Regencies funny, don't read Maggie MacKeever. However, if you like to laugh out loud, she's the writer for you. Maggie MacKeever used to write Regencies for Fawcett's Coventry line. After a long absence she has returned to the romance field, happily for her fans.The previous reader seems to have missed the point of this book,which is firmly tongue-in-cheek. The characters are charming, up to and including the parrot, the kitten, and the obligatory rakehell. I couldn't help but sypathize with poor Lord Charnwood, beset on his honeymoon with a houseful of unwelcome guests. And poor Elizabeth, with her wretched mama and the unwelcome surprise of her husband's previous wife. Add a hilarious dancing lesson, and a bout of fisticuffs complete with an audience of sheep... Thanks to Maggie for another great read.

If you don't like your Regencies funny, don't read Maggie MacKeever. If, however, you like to laugh out loud, she's the writer for you. Maggie MacKeever used to write Regencies for Fawcett's Coventry line. After a long hiatus she has return to the romance field, happily for her fans.The previous reviewer seems to have missed the point of this book, which is firmly tongue-in-cheek. The characters are all delightful, including the parrot -- and let's not forget the kitten, and the obligatory rake -- and how could anyone not appreciate fisticuffs with sheep? And for that matter, how could anyone not sympathize with poor beleagered Lord Charnwood? Not to mention poor Elizabeth with her wretched mama. I laughed out loud several times reading this book, and only hope that Maggie obliges us with more of her great romps.
