A History Nut's Romantic State of Mind
Disclaimer to this review: this is not a poorly written book. Ms. Chase, being the famed author that she is, did not do poorly in terms of writing in this novel.

I didn't do a detailed review of this book but I remember it being a light read, without any sex scenes. Something you'd wanna read to pass some good times on a boring afternoon. Earl of Hartleigh's 7 yr old niece, Lucy goes missing, which leads the Earl, Edward to Isabella, our heroine. Isabella is...

Chase's first published book. Has some witty dialog, especially from the villain, but she hadn't really found her voice yet.
