Book Description

Publication Date: Mar 2004 | Series: Berkley Sensation

Alistair Carsington really, really wishes he didn't love women quite so much. To escape his worst impulses, he sets out for a place far from civilisation: Derbyshire- in winter, where he hopes to kill two birds with one stone: avoid all temptation, and repay the friend who saved his life on the battlefields of Waterloo. But this noble aim drops him straight into opposition with Miss Mirabel Oldridge, a woman every bit as intelligent, obstinate, and devious as he - and maddeningly irresistible.

Mirabel Oldridge already has her hands full keeping her brilliant and aggravatingly eccentric father out of trouble. The last thing she needs is a stunningly attractive, oversensitive and overbright aristocrat reminding her she has a heart - not to mention a body he claims is so unstylishly clothed that undressing her is practically a civic duty. Could the situation be any worse? And why does something that seems so wrong feel so very wonderful?

5.0 out of 5 stars A WONDERFUL ROMP 29 May 2004
By Jane Garrett
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ailistair Carsington is in the dog house. His father, the Earl of Hargate, is infuriated by the latest scandal he has caused and demands that he marry and settle down. To escape the cloud he is under, he goes to Derbyshire where he hopes to overcome resistance to his scheme to build a canal, which should make him and his friend a lot of money. Unfortunately he soon meets Miss Mirabel Oldridge, a managing female who unfortunately has his hormones sitting up and begging in no time at all. Mirabel is totally opposed to his scheme however, and skillfully whips up local opposition. Being an upfront woman she also lectures him for being unreasonably goodlooking and charming, and of high rank. She tells him to go back to London and let a less charismatic man take over the campaign. She makes no secret of her attraction, but refuses to give into it, despite Alistair's best efforts to make love to her. The scene is then set for a battle of wits and wills, interspersed with a few passionate encounters, until Alistair eventually comes up with an alternative scheme and wins Mirabels heart. I love Loretta Chase, and enjoyed her trademark humour. I liked Mirabel a lot-she is a strong woman who runs her fathers vast estate, no fool,and has enough gumption to hold fast to her principles even as she falls in love with Alistair. Try it- you won't be disappointed!

4.0 out of 5 stars Mr Wonderful ... he certainly is 21 Mar 2013
By Toodles Book Club
Format:Paperback
This is another book that I borrowed from the local library, but thought I would share my views on it. It is definitely one that will make it on to my Kindle.

An extraordinarily enchanting story, with multi-faceted characters, with many levels of wit and humour from yet another new author to me. It covered the tricky subject of post traumatic stress from both war and bereavement in in the most imaginative way .... that having been said, don't expect a dry tome ........ this story is so much more, and you will fall in love with all of the characters, and establish a real desire to visit Matlock Bath.

A 4.5 star read, but Amazon don't do half stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really, really charming 15 Nov 2010
By Mynemosyne
Format:Paperback
Having only recently fallen in love with regency romance via my mum's old copies of Georgette Heyer, I wasn't sure whether I would find a more contemporary take on the subject quite as enjoyable - if there was going to be a lot more bodice ripping and a lot less of the detail, witty dialogue and observation.

However, the main characters are extremely engaging and sympathetic, the novel sits nicely in its historical context and if it is a lot more sensual than Georgette Heyer then it is tastefully done and not really something to complain about. It combines a read that is both good fun and very thoughtful.

In short, I loved it and my main problem with it was that it only took me the course of an evening to get through. Something to keep in your handbag and read on the train.
