Just reread this story after a reread of the wonderful Lord of Scoundrels (LoS) by the same author. The story takes place a few months after the story in LoS, and features an appearance by Bertie Trent, the dim-witted brother of the heroine in LoS. Bertie is a friend of the hero's and a cousin of th...

It is a funny light novella with a serious topic that I found very interesting. Women and medicine and altogether science in the 19th century is an enjoyable read. I would recommend it to all self-conscious and intelligent women out there!

Lovely novella with a serious undercurrent. I loved both the medically-inclined Gwen, who is well-used to men not listening to her at first and forcing them to come around, and overprotective Dorian, who, while convinced his mind is disintegrating would still marry Gwen so she can use his money to b...

I see many Loretta Chase books in my future! I adored this little novella. It was extremely well done. I loved the dark qualities it managed to evoke while at the same time having humor and sweetness. Both Gwen and Dorian were wonderful characters. Gwen was such a refreshing change from other hist...

This book had great potential. The premise hit my tortured hero hot buttons. But sadly, this one did not do it for me. It wasn't bad. It was just (*whispers*) kind of boring at times --and completely unbelievable at others.So the setup is this: Dorian thinks he is dying of a brain disease. His moth...

This is a charming early Loretta Chase novella. The "mad" earl marries a woman who coincidentally wants to be a doctor (but couldn't be in those days). The story is serious and sweet and funny at the same time. It was great fun to see Bertie Trent, from Lord of Scoundrels, as the earl's best friend....
