About this ebook

"...comparable to notable Regency author Marian Devon." ~Romantic Times BookClub Reviews

If a lady is to become a Countess, there are rules...

#1: A lady does not attempt to come out in London society disguised as her deceased half-sister.

#2: A lady does not become enamored of her guardian; even when his masterful kisses and whispered words of affection tempt her beyond all endurance.

#3: A lady may not climb barefoot from her bedroom onto a rose trellis, nor engage in fisticuffs with riffraff even if it is to rescue street urchins.

#4: No matter how impossible the odds, a lady always gives her hand and her heart—though not necessarily in that order—to the one man who sees her as she truly is and loves her despite her flagrant disobedience of the rules for a lady.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: The LADY'S LESSONS SERIES is rich in Regency period detail and will be appreciated by fans of Jann Rowland, Meredith Duran, Julia Quinn, Elisa Braden, Tessa Dare and Loretta Chase.

Ratings and reviews

As I read this novel, I felt uncomfortable with Gillian Ames' subterfuge, especially as Stephen Conley, the Earl of Mavenford is actually an honorable man, albeit more than a little stiff and a stickler for rules. However, Gillian's story made me wonder how many opportunistic crimes have been committed, especially by people who were at the end of their tether. The bright spot in this novel is the street urchin, Tom, who won Gillian's heart from the start and eventually Stephen's as well. From the blurb on this book, it would seem that the plot was lighthearted and witty, however, left me feeling sad. I didn't particularly like Gillian and felt sorry for Stephen. Nevertheless, this romance does end on a positive note. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery. I voluntarily post this review. This is my honest review.

Gillian Ames or Amanda Wyndham? The death of a sister gives another a chance at a different life at least that is what Gillian hopes. Gillian will become Amanda and the ward of Stephen, the Earl of Mavenford. They are both very attracted to each other, but Stephen feels there is a mystery around Amanda and set off to solve it. The lies will come out, but Geoffrey will step in. Who in the end will she be Amanda or Gillian? I liked the characters Stephen was a bit stuffy and his mother put on a good show but Geoffrey was straight on honest and he was my favorite. I am happy to recommend this book it was really entertaining. I received this book for free from eBook Discovery and voluntarily chose to review it.

It's awesome.everyone must read it
