Description
Bestselling author Valerie Bowman sets the stage in Regency England for her Playful Brides series, where couples' misadventures on the way to the altar are witty, romantic romps based on some of the world's most beloved plays. The second entry, The Accidental Countess, is inspired by Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest.
CAN A SCANDALOUS CHARADE
For seven long years, Lady Cassandra Monroe has waited for the man of her dreams to return from the war. Unfortunately, he happens to be engaged to her flighty cousin. What Cass wouldn't give to take her cousin's place! When he mistakes Cass for Patience Bunbury, a fictitious friend her cousin has invented to escape social obligations...even with her future husband, Cass thinks this is her chance.
LEAD TO TRUE AND LASTING LOVE?
After defeating Napoleon at Waterloo, Captain Julian Swift is not quite ready to settle down and enter into his unwanted arranged marriage-especially when the real object of his affection turns out to be a beguiling beauty he meets at a party. Patience Bunbury is witty, independent, passionate...and, unbeknownst to him, the cousin of his current fiancée. When the truth about Cass comes out--and Julian discovers that their courtship is anything but accidental--will he surrender his heart to a woman who really is too good to be true?

This book was so much fun to read, and I simply adored these Ladies! Valerie Bowman created the most amazing characters for this series. They are fun, bold, brilliant, and daring. Most historical romances have happy endings, however, this one has the BEST happily ever after I have read in a long, long time! The plot of this story was fun, but the plotting IN this story was hilarious! The true hero in this story was very much in need of a lady to save his soul, and Mz. Bowman created the perfect lady to do it. All the sub-characters, ladies and gents in this story were amazing, which makes me so glad this is a series, The Playful Brides. Somehow I missed book #1, which I will correct immediately, and I will impatiently await book #3 (2015). I even think there are a couple more books that could come from this series.....hint, hint :) Please don't miss reading this book and all in The Playful Brides series. A wonderfully written, a fun and sexy romance for all time.
