Book Description

3 Feb 2011 Raucous Regency Reads
What could be more important than a lady's reputation?

Although initially alarmed by their unconventional ways, strait-laced Harry Bishop is content in the service of Lord Shad and his family. But when he is sent to London to rescue Shad's wayward relation from debt and self-destruction, he also has the dubious honor of dealing with the man's illicit lover - troublesome actress Sophie Wallace.

A man of dignity and decorum, Mr Bishop is desperate to disassociate himself from the scandalous Sophie. Unfortunately, avoiding her proves harder than he could ever have imagined and soon she's causing him all kinds of bother...

Review

"This is a highly entertaining Regency novel that is both outrageously funny and endearingly unconventional." --Historical Novels Review

3.0 out of 5 stars bit messy 30 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback
possibly part of a series which i think it would the third book. can be read as a stand alone book also. the narrative for the story flicks between the 2 main characters harry bishop and sophie wallace and the diary of another character. i think the story would have flowed better with being written in the third person as i would lose track of who was actually telling the story and would have to re read parts. also the humour didnt quite work for me at times, sometimes it was hilarious! bit of a mixed bag but a fun quick read for an afternoon.

4.0 out of 5 stars When a Gentleman Mouse Meets a Tigress 10 Sep 2012
By Ann Elliot - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Janet Mullany has chosen a role-reversal theme for this sequel to Improper Relations. A mild-mannered, virginal, decorous young estate manager meets a lively courtesan/actress.

This effort does not work quite as well as the first book. Chaste, prim young men don't seem as inherently interesting, even with Mullany's keen hurmor to keep readers chuckling.

The best scenes center around Shad and Charlotte from Improper Relations, their three offspring, and their riotous home. One episode shows Charlotte attempting to find a moment's peace with her newborn by going to bed, only to be joined there by her two rambunctious little boys, the family dogs, and the distressed heroine, who wishes to talk. Any mother will not only laugh out loud, but will identify with Charlotte.

Of the many authors attempting to write humorously, Mullany is one of the very few who can make me laugh. That enjoyment outweighs occasional problems with the plot or characters.
