    About this ebook

    With his broad shoulders and handsome dark eyes, Lord Ravenel could have been a character in one of author Gwenda Vicker's gothic novels. She never meant to eavesdrop on his awkward marriage proposal or overhear the lady refuse him. Clearly the unfortunate man could use Gwenda's advice on the art of romance. But Ravenel considered the helpful Miss Vickers a mistress of disaster and demanded that both she and her boot-chewing hound keep their distance.
    What begins as a three hour trip to Brighton becomes a series of mishaps and adventures his lordship could never have imagined. By the time Ravenel reaches the end of the Brighton Road, the incorrigible lady authoress succeeds in turning his very proper world upside down A charming romantic comedy and winner of Romance Writer of America's Golden Medallion award for Best Regency.

      Fanciful and fun. What happens when an authoress meets the man of her dreams but decides he's just another stuffed shirt? Hijinks proceed to happen.
    • 2/5
      I struggled to fully sympathise with the heroine. The question 'how stupid could she be?' went through my mind a time or two.
    • 5/5
      Charming and delightful. I like
      her books. They are short sweet and funny. one to keep returning back to. After reading this book a second time I still stick to my first review. An absolute out and out sweet romance.
