Editorial Reviews

Product Description

In the Game of Love, He Made the Rules

The Honorable Mr. Malcolm has a secret. This elusive matrimonial prize, long the target of desperate debutantes and their matchmaking mothers, is well known for his fastidiousness. What is not well known is that he has a list of qualifications for his future bride.

Can any woman hope to win the heart of such a hardened critic? Selina Dalton can only try her best. And when she begins to succeed, Jeremy Malcolm is not sure whether he has discovered the perfect woman…

Or the perfect hoax.




Praise for Allain’s first book, INCOGNITO:

I laughed out loud in several places…This is one of those 'feel good' stories with a lot of comic relief. -- Romance Reviews Today

This frothy Regency romp speaks with a Jane Austen-like voice and echoes a plot entertainingly similar to both Austen’s and Shakespeare’s lightest romances. A delightful comedy of errors, INCOGNITO boasts a style and ending that are just as a reader of vintage Regencies likes them: alls well that ends well. -- Romantic Times Magazine

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Read, May 27, 2009

I started this book last evening. I finished this book last evening. What a great way to spend a few hours! Fans of Lauren Willig or Georgette Heyer will, I think, love this book.

Mr. Malcolm is a bit reminiscent of Mr. Darcy...stiff and unbending...in the beginning. He is very sought after in the ball rooms of Regency England and developed a defense...a list of qualifications for the right woman. A list of characteristics that is almost impossible to meet. However, a scorned debutante has a friend who is almost perfect for Mr. Malcolm and sends for Miss Dalton to become the instrument of her revenge.

This is a light tale of romance with laugh out loud moments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful!, March 23, 2009

This review is from: Mr. Malcolm's List (Paperback)

I started reading this one night in the midst of insomnia hoping that eventually fatigue would set in but quite the opposite happened. The book completely entrapped my hyperactive brain and I finished it that night; well actually in the wee hours of the next morning. I loved it and my title of "Delightful" is my one-word pick for multi-faceted impressions. There is so much wit and humor in the author's writing that you actually feel your intellect is engaged. I am an avid reader & devoted Jane Austen fan but never gave "regency" style romances a chance. The book is light-hearted, fun & thoroughly romantic. And it had the wonderful quality of great story telling, the kind that helps you picture every scene, face & mood. I laughed out loud several times and when I was done reading all I could think is "I hope she writes more." But until she does I plan on reading this again, it was that delightful.

I guess the other reviewers of this book have said what I am going to say also. It's a slight book, but it is charming, delightful, funny, well written and a great way to pass an hour (two, if you're a slow reader). I've ordered Incognito, which I see is even slighter, but am hoping is just as charming and funny.
