I love, love, love this book!! It was so nice to read a story about a real woman, not a wide-eyed innocent! HOT romance and a great love story. There were many hilarious moments too. I can't wait for the next in the series!

I didn't respond to her writing style, but it's an original take on the traditional regency romance.

A very independant and successful London dressmaker is pulled out of her life by a handsome rake of a man. They are forced together because of his new inheritance along with two young girls. Part of the rake's/duke's inheritance, he must turn the three into proper ladies and marry them off. Two are mere children who come from terrible backgrounds. One of the young girls is very quiet and timid but is helped along by a loving grandmother like house keeper. The other girl, who was brought up in the Cheap Side of London, has a sight for things that most adult miss. The dressmaker is all woman that the duke can't but help himself in seducing her to become his wife.
Mixed all together and you have a wonderful story set in Early 1700's with great witty charaters and breathless imaginable romance.
