Helpful Score: 3
I don't normally review books but with this one i will. The first one is a comedy of errors and the twists and turns made me laugh out loud! The second book is about two stubborn people that can't figure out how to compromise in their marriage. Both of these books will keep you reading long after you should have put the book down.

LADY WHILTON'S WEDDING
Daphne Whilton's widowed mother is remarrying, but Daphne's uncle Albert is determined to throw a monkey wrench into the wedding plans if he can't keep the money his late brother left his widow. When Albert dies, it seems that he's won after all, as a death in the family would postpone a wedding for at least 6 months. So Daphne decides to hide the body, aided unknowingly by the groom's son Graydon and the loyal butler.
AN ENCHANTED AFFAIR
Lisanne Neville can see fairies, which makes people think she's odd. Her parents die, leaving her an orphan heiress, and her greedy uncle takes over, alternately punishing her and ignoring her. She routinely escapes to the "haunted" woods, but this is threatened when the impoverished Duke of St. Sevrin who owns them decides to sell the timber. She proposes marriage to him as beneficial to both--saving her woods and getting her out from under her uncle's thumb, and paying off his debts.

LADY WHILTON'S WEDDING -- At the opening of this story, Daphne Whilton has dumped her informal (life-long) engagement to Lord Graydon Howell. When he can't get Daphne to reinstate the engagement, he buys a commission and goes to fight on the Peninsula. After two years, he comes back wounded. His father and Daphne's mother, both having outlived their partners, have fallen in love and plan to marry.
Gray is dedicated to the idea of getting back together with Daphne as part of the wedding party. However, Daphne is considering a marriage proposal from the local magistrate. In the mix of all these happy and unhappy emotions flying around, Baron Whilton, a drunken ne'er do well, invades the wedding and tries to derail it. Then the fun begins; the author is in top form with the ridiculous and the wild antics of a baron who keels over dead, a valet who tries to ransom two children for lots of loot, Gray's old mistress who gets the wrong message and tries to disrupt the wedding, etc.
AN ENCHANTED AFFAIR -- This is a very different story from the usual Barbara Metzger fare. Lisanne Neville grew up with tales of faeries and long walks through Sevrin Woods (nearby but not belonging to the Neville family). Her parents died when she was young and a greedy uncle moved in and started stripping the value from Lisanne's inheritance. Now, Lisanne hears that her beloved woods is about to be sold to pay off the gambling debts of the young Duke of Sevrin.
Lisanne asks St. Sevrin to marry her. She will trade her immense fortune for his woods. When they enter into marriage, everything changes. This is a charming tale.
