Another Excellent Story from The Queen of Love Scenes!

I don't usually go for time travel novels, but this one was so terrific!You will laugh when Angela, a gypsy woman, holds the duke's entire staff at knife-point because they want her to take a bath! This book is full of humorous points such as that. I loved Angela's character. She is not a spoiled rich girl, but is a very down- to- earth street gypsy of the mid- 1990's, who is transported back in time to the year 1745. A duke takes a bet with a friend that he can turn her into a lady within 1 year. The duke gets more than he bargained for as Angela turns his home, his staff, and later his heart up- side- down. Once she becomes a lady, the duke is hopelessly lost to her. He pulls out all of the stops to win her heart: steamy bathes, romantic dinners, gifts, picnics, you name it. Romance galore!Adding some excitement to the story: Angela discovers a band of gypsies in the 1745 time period. Finding that they are much the same as her gypsy people from 1994, she joins them in dancing and jaunting around their camp fire. Angela later discovers that she must save the duke from a wrongful execution, with knowledge that she has from the future. Along with her new gypsy friends, she sets out to produce the evidence of the duke's innocence.As always, Kathleen Drymon sets the pages on fire with her love scenes. Never a single disappointment there! Very steamy and detailed, but never distasteful. Also, never rushed... they go on for pages at times! Yummy!Another thing that I love about Drymon's books is the fact that I never once catch myself skimming through paragraphs and pages to get back to the main plot. She sticks with the main characters and keeps the story moving. Excitement, adventure, romance (tons of romance!), and plenty of good- natured laughs.

I COULDN'T PUT THIS BOOK DOWN! LOVED IT!

This book was so romantic. I really couldn't put it down. This is one of my "keeper" books for sure. I fell in love with Angela and Royce. I loved it when he first lays eyes on her after her "transformation" from gypsy to lady and how he didn't recognize her. After that, he was a goner. Or when he tries to bathe her because she refuses and he discovers that she's a woman. It was really funny the way he was stammering. Well, I really loved this book and glad I got it.
