Lady Annis Wycherley may be feisty, but she is a chaperon to society misses and her reputation is first class. For her, rakes and romance are strictly off limits--most especially irresistible rogues like the handsome Lord Adam Ashwick! Gossip and scandal could destroy Annis, unless Adam can convince her to become his chaperon bride...

More About the Author
I started writing when I was about fourteen. I had read all the romance books in my local library and the librarians were growing tired of me asking when the new books would be coming in so they suggested I should write one of my own. I think they were only trying to get rid of me but I took their advice seriously.
Sixteen years later, True Colours was published. It took me that long because it wasn't very good to start with! I rewrote it three times, went to college, got married, moved house and changed my job several times in between trying to write!
These days I am a full time writer and spend lots of time on the creative process, which involves drinking coffee with my writing friend Sarah Morgan and scandalising the staff in the caf' where we meet because they think we are talking about real life not fiction.
In my spare time I work as a guide at Ashdown House, a fabulous and romantic seventeenth century hunting lodge just down the road from here. It has a fascinating history and one day I will get around to writing about it.
My writing inspirations are my grandmother, with whom I used to watch all the BBC costume dramas on a Sunday night ' Robin of Sherwood, Poldark, Pride and Prejudice (the 1970s version); my English teacher Mr Conway (I'm still worrying about correct grammar and punctuation); my husband because he is decidedly a hero, Jane Austen, Alice Chetwynd Ley and many, many romance authors who have given me so many hours of reading pleasure. Thank you!

The elements just didn't come together,

This review is from: Chaperon Bride, the (Historical Romance) (Paperback)
After a time of playing cat-and-mouse, Annis and Adam are caught in a compromising situation and are forced to wed. They've both been married before. He deeply loved his first wife, whom he married quite young. Annis fears remarriage because she was practically held prisoner by her first husband who controlled every aspect of her life. Not only does Annis have to fight her fears regarding marriage, but she also must deal with the inadequacies she feels because Adam now faces a marriage that is not based on love. On top of all that, Annis must chaperone two difficult young women, and the folks nearby are near rioting over another landowner's unfair practices. Worse, Annis' cousin works for the villain.All the ingredients for a first-rate novel are there: strong characters, an interesting plot, and unexpected twists & turns. Unfortunately, Cornick can't make it work. Even ignoring some ghastly grammatical errors, Cornick repeatedly makes glaring errors in her research. Or perhaps one should ask if she did any research. A frustrating read.

Fun read! Don't let one 'bad' review put you off!,
This review is from: Chaperon Bride, the (Historical Romance) (Paperback)
As an avid reader, I found this book fun and interesting. If there were any grammatical errors, the proofreader(s) would be responsible for their escape. The English pronounce words differently and also spell some common words differently than Americans. As far as any needed research, where were the errors?I think this book deserves a better review. It is an enjoyable, quick and intriguing read.
