Editorial Reviews

His Lady's Assistance was a delightful read...I loved how Ms. Bolen brings her characters to life, and I fell in love with Jack and Daphne. When they triumph in the end, I wanted to cheer. It's so refreshing to read a romance that can stand strong without a lot of sensuality. This was a story about a man with high morals and principles, instead of a story about a rich rake, who is reformed by a woman, and I found it to be enchanting.
