You will love Francine. She is a trip. The hero despaires of all the scrapes she gets herself into and falls in love in the process. It is very touching how she helps her sister and brother in-law's marriage. She also plays a part in circumventing danger to the brother in-law. I have read it at least twice and look froward to reading it again.
A Complete Delight!

Can Sara Blayne's series of the Powell children get any better? This book had me laughing and crying. Francine is a live-wire who goes from one scrape to another. During her first season in London, chaperoned by her sister Florence, she is determined to save her brother-in-law, Paul, from villains. Luckily, she is continually saved by the wonderful & handsome Harry, Lord Ransome. The escapades are harrowing and hilarious. The marital problems of Florence & Paul tug at your heart. And the thrilling, romantic conclusion for Francie & Harry is wonderful.This is a keeper!
Great reading

Not your ordinary regency by a million miles - this was sharp and witty and I loved the way it was so different from the typical ones out there. The heroine is out to help her sister and brother in law, while the hero is busy trying to help her. Charming and humorous, I just bought another one by the author: A Noble Resolve - so far its great!
