More About This Book

Overview

Beloved author Loretta Chase offers her long-awaited new novel-the tale of a bluestocking and a  reformed rake who clash over a matter of business, and soon find themselves facing an entirely different, and delicious, sort of tension.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
The Barnes & Noble Review
Fans of USA Today–bestselling author Loretta Chase will be completely charmed by her new hero, Alastair Carsington, and this fresh romantic tale of opposites attracting. The story opens with Alastair receiving an edict from his father, Lord Hargate: Alastair must marry an heiress. Lord Hargate has tired of paying for the romantic indiscretions of his third son. Further, Alastair has returned from the battlefield at Waterloo with a severe limp and an excessive interest in clothes. Alastair is dispatched to the wilds of Derbyshire in winter, with a charge to promote the canal proposal of Lord Gordmor. Opposing him: the very intelligent, obstinate, and unstylishly dressed Mirabel Oldridge, who wishes no change in her beloved countryside. How Alastair and Mirabel resolve their differences, uncover a deadly plot, and manage to get her out of those terrible clothes makes for most entertaining reading. Ginger Curwen
Library Journal
Alistair Carsington-wounded Waterloo hero, third son of the Earl of Hargate, and a dismal judge of female character-is commanded by his father to find a way to be self-supporting within the next six months (either by finding an occupation or winning an heiress) or risk impoverishing his younger brothers. He then heads for an isolated corner of Derbyshire to see a botanist about a canal and is confronted with the one thing he can't resist: a beautiful, desirable woman. On the other hand, Mirabel Oldridge, intelligent, independent, if rather sartorially challenged, has enough to deal with in managing the estate of her plant-obsessed father and isn't about to let a charming dandy, however heroic and handsome, distract her. Graced with compelling prose, witty dialog, well-researched detail, and engaging, exceptionally well-drawn characters, this beautifully done historical is Chase's first new book in five years-and it was well worth the wait. Chase (The Last Hellion) has written a number of much-loved, award-winning historical romances and lives in Worcester, MA. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    Wonderful Regency romance

    In 1817 Earl Edward Carsington is tired of paying the bills for his third of five sons and the oldest unmarried one. He demands that Alistair in his late twenties either finds a wealthy wife or earns income through business. Rather than wed, the melancholy war ¿hero¿ joins his friend Lord Gordmor in building a canal in Derbyshire..................................... Some of the local landowners oppose the project so Alistair heads north to persuade them to support the canal endeavor. The opposition leader is spinster Mirabel Oldridge who is a couple of years older than Alistair. As she deftly sabotages his support through her silver tongue, they fall in love. However, he believes the canal is a boom while she believes it is a bust leaving a gap wider than his proposal to keep them apart................................. Fans will enjoy this wonderful Regency romance that takes the contemporary issue of environment vs. development back to its roots in early nineteenth century England. The story line is crisp as Mirabel and Alistair debate the merits and demerits of the impact of a canal on the locality even as both fall in love. The secondary cast adds depth to the debate so that the audience receives a terrific historical tale with modern day implications......................... Harriet Klausner
