And the Miss Ran away with the Rake is my favorite of the series so far.It was fun watching Daphne and Henry fall for each other in real life while trying desperately not to do just that because of their family connections. I felt like this relationship had more heat and passion than in the first b...

DNF. I disliked both main characters and their ridiculous family feud. I made it 76% of the way through the book through sheer force of will (and with a great deal of skimming) to see what happens when they find out who the other is, only for Henry to seduce her without telling her. Meh. That wa...

This book was slow in the beginning and I found myself skimming but it really picked up and I ended up liking it. Not as much as the first book but still enjoyable. Looking forward to Harriet and Roxley's story. The glimpses we've gotten of them in the first two books were great.

Charming and full of diversions. The characters Lord Henry Seldon and Daphne Dale are first-rate, well-rounded characters with enough spunk to capture your heart. Their literary alter egos, Mr. Dishworth and Miss Daphne Dale, are equally fun. The ending is a wonderful madcap adventure, leading to an...

It wasn't necessary to have the first...

Huh. Well, I may have to just swear off historicals for a while because the last two or three have left me wanting . . . something more. Unfortunately, And The Miss Ran Away With The Rake didn't make me reconsider the first part of that statement and reinforced the latter.This book is Ms. Boyle's ...

I love when a title fits a book perfectly and that is just the case with the newest from Elizabeth Boyle. Daphne Dale answered an advertisement in a newspaper on a whim and it has grown into so much more and she is determined to meet the mysterious Mr. Dishforth. When they agree through their corr...

I have a few go-to storylines that I just adore in any incarnation and one of my absolute favorites is the plot of two characters falling in love through correspondences. I guess I’m a sucker for knowing the hero and heroine are perfect for one another if they could only see it out in the real worl...
