This was a terrific installment in the Bachelor Chronicles series, which I was about ready to give up on. I was so disappointed in How I Met My Countess, I really thought maybe Elizabeth Boyle was just phoning it in.

The characters in this book are older, he is in his 40's, she in her early 30's. There is the typical silliness of him posing as someone else, someone lower class whom she comes to love despite their supposed social differences. But Boyle tells a fast-paces, romantic story that is good for some smiles and has some steamy scenes to boot. You can probably find the same recipe in many romance novels but it really takes good writing to make none of that matter. It was just a fun romance to read.
