Prepare for a delightful Regency romp in the style of Georgette Heyer. The heroine, Jennifer is a heiress at 17 yrs old and pushed toward her suitor, George who was on the battlefield with her two brothers, made him promise to himself to marry her . But there are several problems with this because he waits a long time after their demise to come forward. She invents many reasons not to marry him and they actually do not meet at this point.
Thus she becomes a runaway bride, determined not to wed him and in a line of adventures, ends up a governess for her friend Lucy's cousin. Not very probable but it happens and what would be next? Of course the hero shows up but neither of them know who the other is and she ends up in London with his grandmother using a false name.
The story rolls on from there with a lot going on. Misunderstandings, some wanting Jennifer to be taken down a notch and many convenient happenings.
But as the tale comes to an end, all wraps up to make this an entertaining read I think you will enjoy it too! I read this book through NetGallery
