5.0 out of 5 stars A Taste of Temptation by Amelia Grey. 27 Oct 2011
By wendy
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Olivia is shocked when her Aunt Agatha informs her from her sick bed in the country that they must make haste to London. Agatha claims to have received a message from Lord Pinkwaters ghost (he had jilted Agatha years before) and there is no time to loose. Convinced her aunt has lost her mind, Olivia is reluctantly dragged to town and given a mission....she must infiltrate the houses of the Ton to find LPs ghost and relay the message to her aunt. Caught snooping in the bedchamber during a ball given by The Earl of Dugdale, Olivia is found compromised and forced to marry the notorious rake. The story then follows a stormy few months as the reluctant pair pretend an alliance( unconsumated) while he continues his batchelor life and she watches from her lonley bedroom. But cupid is at work and gradually an electrifying chemistry smouldering under the surface begins to take control. This is the last in the series of the Terrible Threesome and Andrew Terwilliger is the final and most reluctant Earl to relinquish his freedom. Aided by the scathing interferring Lord Truefit and the irrepressible Aunt Agatha, the story of these two characters have you laughing out loud then reaching for your hanky. A threatening presence is after Andrew and Lord Pinkwaters ghost pops up all over the place, which can prove to be embarrasing! Andrew gradually realises his new bride is not as undesirable as he first thought but Olivia is not giving in quite so easily. Absolutely delightful, one you will really enjoy.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Regency!!! 10 Dec 2005
By Kristi Ahlers - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The third member of the "Terrible Threesome" is about to finally meet his match and in more ways than one. Andrew Terwillger, Earl of Dugdale has returned to London with full coffers and is ready to hit the town with his friends. Problem is his friends Chandler and John are now happily married and prefer their wives company to hanging out at the club. Andrew loves ladies but he has no plans on jumping into matrimony...in any way shape or form...but, alas, fate has different plans for this rake. Big plans.

Agatha Loudermilk thinks that the ghost of the only man she has ever loved wants her to return to London with her niece Olivia Banning. Livy has no wish to enter society and find a good match with a titled gentleman. Her mother did this, and so did her beloved aunt with sadly disappointing circumstances. She wants to be happy and a Ton marriage is not the answer. So when her aunt insistent she goes to London not to find a match, but instead to find a ghost. Yes, a ghost her aunt is convinced that Lord Pinkwater wants her there. This sets off a whole series of events that no one could imagine. It's at a ball at the townhouse of Earl of Dugdale that Livy enters the lord's bedroom in search of the elusive ghost when she is caught in a compromising situation with the Earl and with the worst gossips as witnesses to her great fall.

The only answer to this bad situation is now a marriage of convenience with both the groom and bride less than thrilled. But, with the help of some otherworld interference and good old chemistry the worst thing to happen to them will turn out to be the best thing. After all love and romance is a wonderful reward.

Andrew and Olivia are strong characters although the love/hate conflict that the author employed did wear after a time. Still this story as with others by this talented author is populated with some of the most eccentric and entertaining characters out there. This was an entertaining effort that fans of the Regency Romance genre will appreciate.

2.0 out of 5 stars Scooby Doo, Where are you? 1 Feb 2006
By C. Zeveney - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Good grief, this is one of the worst books I have ever read and I had an extremely tough time finishing it. The whole searching for the ghost part was absolutely ridiculous and read more like the Scooby Doo novels that I read to my son with perhaps a couple of poorly written romance scenes thrown in. I prefer to have a building attraction in my stories, not a man punishing the woman during 3/4 of the book and then suddenly realizes that his wife is not so bad after all. I kept reading it hoping that it would get better but by the time they solved the mystery at the end I actually said, "I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for you meddling kids and that dog of yours!". Jinkies! I doubt that I'll be reading Amelia Grey's books again if this is a taste of what she has to offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the characters 27 Dec 2005
By RD (Read Daily) - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Romance, fun and a mysterious ghost- this story has it all. This book was an easy light-hearted read. At her aunt's request, Olivia Banning goes searching for a ghost in the home of Andrew Terwilliger, the Earl of Dugdale. She never expected the Earl would catch her snooping about his bedchamber and she certainly never dreamed three well known ladies of the ton would walk in on the two of them but that's exactly what happens. The fun starts there and doesn't stop as Olivia and Andrew soon discover that everlasting love seems to be just as elusive as the ghost Olivia is searching for.
