Like a Maze full of Surprises at every turn

Retrieved from Library, and will now need to purchase for my own bookshelf. This book had ALOT of twists and turns, and kept me on my toes and made me laugh and wish for more. But the best part was the Hero and Heroine always came back to each other more times than the not, and that is worth the buying of this book. Except for the aunt who could have used good swift kick, even she had her place in the turns. Though I wished her turn was right off the page. The fiancee well she's fortunate it was those times she lived in wherein men stood by their word. For in this generation she'd get what she deserved from day one. All in all, this was a really fun and worth the while read. I could not put it down for fear I would miss out on what happened next. I will be adding this book to my shelf, and buying this Authors next books. Fun,Fun,Fun...Oh and Sexy too!

Great debut!

Wow, if this is an example of this authors books to come, I'm standing in line at the bookstore! This was fun and sexy from page one. Can't wait for the next release from Heino!

Fun Historical Debut

Comedy is so easy to read and so difficult to write. Ms. Heino brought a great deal of humor to her enjoyable Regency debut. I'm anxiously awaiting more from this author.

amusing tale of I'm Not in Love Regency romance

In 1816 heiress Evaline Pinchley looks forward to her birthday coming soon when she reaches the age where she will control her money; she has no plans to marry some wastrel after her wealth. Lord Dashford is tired of matchmaking moms trying to get their daughters married to him because of his money; he decides to let everyone believe he is broke. Evaline's Aunt Bella drags her to a party at the Dashford estate. She gets drunk in his garden to celebrate her liberation birthday. He sneaks out to his garden for a respite from the horde of marriage mommas. The pair accidentally meets in the garden. The next morning she awakens in his bed. However, when his former fiancé arrives proclaiming he is hers; Evaline acquiesces but decides to taste another night in his bed. This is an amusing Regency romance starring two individuals who deny love and marriage but cannot resist the sexual lure of the other. The story line is fast-paced as the lead couple with a strong support cast (her family and his two best friends) make for an amusing tale of I'm Not in Love only in lust. Susan Gee Heino provides sub-genre fans with a wonderful historical. Harriet Klausner
