Newlywed Elizabeth Chavers is beside herself with shock. It seems her groom, Lord Charnwood, has not only been married before, but his former wife Magda has turned up on their wedding night! Stifling her own independent nature, Elizabeth had entered the nuptials determined to become the proper, biddable wife she thought Justin wanted - all the while believing that at least his character was beyond reproach. But now that she knows otherwise, she sees little reason to play the prim and proper miss longer...Lord Charnwood can scarcely believe his damnable luck. He'd never expected Magda would be forced to take refuge with him and his new bride. And he'd certainly never imagined that Elizabeth would reveal a most unexpected spirit by taking up with one of the ton's handsomest rogues. There's little help for it now...and even less time to lose. To salvage this marriage, Justin will have to show his adorably determined wife just how much he has grown to care for her - and turn an impossible situation into a perfect match.

Her extracurricular careers include secretary for a telephone company, a local psychic, the Arco Alaskan pipeline project,and a post production sound house; and, most lengthily, dialogue supervisor for television and feature films.

Bravo, Maggie!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Match (Zebra Regency Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
If you don't like your Regencies funny, don't read Maggie MacKeever. However, if you like to laugh out loud, she's the writer for you. Maggie MacKeever used to write Regencies for Fawcett's Coventry line. After a long absence she has returned to the romance field, happily for her fans.The previous reader seems to have missed the point of this book,which is firmly tongue-in-cheek. The characters are charming, up to and including the parrot, the kitten, and the obligatory rakehell. I couldn't help but sypathize with poor Lord Charnwood, beset on his honeymoon with a houseful of unwelcome guests. And poor Elizabeth, with her wretched mama and the unwelcome surprise of her husband's previous wife. Add a hilarious dancing lesson, and a bout of fisticuffs complete with an audience of sheep... Thanks to Maggie for another great read.

If you don't like your Regencies funny, don't read Maggie MacKeever. If, however, you like to laugh out loud, she's the writer for you. Maggie MacKeever used to write Regencies for Fawcett's Coventry line. After a long hiatus she has return to the romance field, happily for her fans.The previous reviewer seems to have missed the point of this book, which is firmly tongue-in-cheek. The characters are all delightful, including the parrot -- and let's not forget the kitten, and the obligatory rake -- and how could anyone not appreciate fisticuffs with sheep? And for that matter, how could anyone not sympathize with poor beleagered Lord Charnwood? Not to mention poor Elizabeth with her wretched mama. I laughed out loud several times reading this book, and only hope that Maggie obliges us with more of her great romps.

awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!,
By Annie (Pearl River, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Love Match (Zebra Regency Romance) (Mass Market Paperback)
Gosh, I am starting to realize that all the good regency romances must have already been written. This story, focused on the oh so popular theme of a marriage of convenience, is almost unreadable. Our hero, a Duke named Lord Charnwood, marries the inspid and boring Elizabeth. He figures she won't give him trouble or be troubled by her. I hate when regency writers try to make the women spunky usually, it seems to me, to make up for them not being attractive so they suddenly appear more intersting to their mates. Of course, being a regency, they do not consumate their marriage. As we all know, then the marriage is not legal - even Elizabeth realized that. Charnwood is not likeable nor is Elizabeth. The author tries to spice things up with the addition of a first wife for Lord Charnwood, a gorgeous French woman whom he divorced. Apparently, Elizabeth nor her cronnies knew that the eligible Duke had been married once before. How would that be possible in the gossip capital of London where everything is knows about potential mates? Everything Elizabeth does she says well, Mama said this or Mama said that. Just Boring!!!!!!!!!!! This is one author I won't try reading again.
