Barbara Metzger is fast becoming one of my favorite authors. Her books are often humorous, fast paced, and full of twists and unexpected turns. There's no explicit sex, which is refreshing. You can only take so much explicit sex before it gets boring. Metzger is never boring. Some of her earlier books are smaller than normal; I found those easy to read in a day. They're hard to put down. I'm now collecting copies of all her books.
This was a cute regency book - a young gentleman trying to save his family's fortunes finds income helping peers by escorting their daughters and wards. His "job" is exposed and things are not looking so good when he gets an invitation from a young lady and her aunt. She isn't trying to get launched in society - looking for her missing sister.
A regency romp for the most part. A good read but not my fave by this author. I may not been in the mood for this one because at times parts of it just dragged for me.
This is a good book to curl up with, even though an escort service is a little unusual for Regency England it seems to work for this story. The sexual scenes are a slow tension bubbling up to a boil of romance.
