I've said it before--sometimes I'm just in the need for fluff. And this historical love story set in Regency England fulfilled my need. It's the typical bodice ripper with Lord Blackmoor as the sexy stud, but it's completely rated PG. Heck, G. Just kissing! But, it's passionate, sparks flying kissing that leads to an almost certain engagement, I'm sure! Alex is the intelligent (totally different from other girls in her time period, I'm sure) only daughter of the Duke of Worthington and about to "come out" in her first season in London. She's not too thrilled about the customs and fancy dresses, but, of course, she's beautiful and filthy rich and she just has to snag a husband because it's expected of her. She's not too impressed with her options until a family friend of her brothers starts to look better to her. Lord Blackmoor has inherited the title from his recently deceased father. Gavin thinks his father was murdered and is intent on finding his killer. England is at war with Napoleon's France and spies are everywhere! Alex and her two best friends get involved with the intrigue and everything wraps up nicely in the end. This is quite the satisfying read if you're looking for a typical clean historical romance. Even junior high girls would like this one!
