Happy May! I love this month. Maybe because my new book, The Unexpected Duchess, is in stores this May! It just released on 4/29 and it’s been getting rave reviews like a 4.5 star TOP PICK rating from RT Book Reviews, a STARRED review from Booklist and a STARRED review from Kirkus Reviews!
RT says this, “Smart, witty, sassy, and utterly delightful!”
But I think my FAVORITE review so far is from a GoodReads reviewer who said, “She made me laugh, snort, cry, cheer and even pee myself a little, but PLEASE don’t tell anyone. . . . love is not a big enough word for how much I enjoyed this first book in the Playful Brides series.” << This made me laugh out loud when I read it! High praise, indeed.
IN THIS BATTLE OF WITS
Lady Lucy Upton’s tongue may be too sharp to attract suitors but her heart is good and when her painfully shy friend Cassandra needs help she devises a brilliant scheme to help her discourage an unwanted suitor, the Duke of Claringdon. Lucy will hide behind the hedgerow and tell Cass just what to say to discourage the duke…but it turns out that he’s made of sterner stuff than either of them anticipated. And Lucy is shocked to discover that tangling with the tenacious man is the most fun she’s had in ages.
KISSES ARE THE BEST WEAPON
Lord Derek Hunt made a promise to his dying friend to marry the demure Cassandra, and for a man who wants nothing more than peace and quiet after the horrors of war, she’ll make the perfect bride. If only the impudent Miss Upton will let him court the girl! Doing battle is the last thing on his mind, but bantering with Lucy behind the bushes is too tempting to resist. And the spoils of this war just may be true love…
