Why this book?:

I recently read the first book in this series, Along Came a Duke

Comments:

The story was one you could predict.  Very Romeo and Juliet.  But still enjoyable.  I liked both the hero, Lord Henry Seldon, and the heroine, Daphne Dale.  Each chapter is headed by a quote or phrase from their anonymous letters to each other. 

I don't have much else to say other than I look forward to reading the 3rd book in the series, If Wishes Were Earls.  Both he first book and this one have been leading up to it, so...

Why this book?:

I saw it, read the blurb, and it appealed.

Comments: 

Sometimes I'm just in the mood for a historical romance.  As this was one of those times, this one suited well.

It was a little silly, in what I know was supposed to be funny but felt a little forced.  But other than that, I enjoyed the characters including the hero, Preston, the heroine, Tabitha, and others.  Plus the overall story was light and fun (if silly).

I look forward to reading the second book in the series, And the Miss Ran Away With the Rake which tells the story of Preston's uncle (only 6 months older).  After that, hopefully I'll read more of Elizabeth Boyle's work.  I can't believe I haven't already.
