Oh, my goodness, what a family! The best way to describe this book would be as a Regency romp. A selfish, theatrical mother and three sisters who are running out of control, keep Elodie Templeworth busy as she tries to rein her sisters in and take up the duties of her mother. Visiting his uncle's home, Christian, the Viscount of Brentford, is instantly attracted to Elodie but has second thoughts when he realizes that she is far too straightlaced for his tastes. That does not stop him from following her out of the Assembly Hall when she goes after one of her errant sisters, and the ensuing debacle puts Elodie in a compromising situation. The resulting upheaval, compounded by her mother's hysterics, has Elodie longing for escape, but surprisingly, it is her wild sisters who seem to have her best interests at heart as they clear the way for her to break free. Upon Christian discovering a stowaway in his carriage, he is flummoxed, but when her need and his desire merge, he finds that it is no hardship claiming Elodie as his own. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy with the results, but this romance does eventually come to a happy and rather hectic conclusion. I received a copy of this book as a gift through Dragonblade Publishing and NetGalley and this is my honest and voluntary review.
