5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Short Story March 29, 2012

Though this story was shorter than most of her work it was none the less enchanting. Lady Cordelia's story from endentured service to talk of the Ton was quite the tale. Normally one for staying out of the spotlight Cordelia is quite put out when Lord Ambrose not only notices her but asks her to dance. By the end of the story it makes you wonder just who saved whom. A great story and I cant wait for more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Short and Sweet!!! April 30, 2012

By Love to read my Kindle

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a great book if you are looking for a quick, clean (no sex), fun read!! Because it is a short story, you won't get an in depth look at the characters. But, if you are a romance reading veteran, you can pretty much develope them on your own!!! I like Rachel & Leah's (the authors) sense of humor! I hope to see a full length book co-authored by the two of them soon!!

4.0 out of 5 stars DOUBLE TROUBLE May 5, 2012

By L. Sims TOP 500 REVIEWER

Format:Kindle Edition

Ambrose Earl of Hawthorne and his brother Anthony Viscount Maddox are twins. Ambrose being the older by three minutes. They are the most eligible batchelors of the ton. Along with their friend Sir Wilde they are attending another boring ball. Then Anthony wagers his brother Ambrose that he must take the plainest debutante of this season and make her the toast of London.
Lady Cordelia Edwards has positioned herself behind some plants, out of sight this is her first and only season. Though she knows she will not get an offer from any gentleman of consequence, her family's history and disgrace are too well known. So when Ambrose Earl of Hawtborne asks her to dance she knows this must be some kind of joke. There's no way he would be interested in her. Every unattached woman in London would marry him in a heartbeat, that also included his handsome brother. He tells her he wants to be her friend, and help her gain the attention of suitable gentlemen. His attention alone should guarantee that.
But things do not quite go as planned, and Ambrose feels himself drawn more and more to Cordelia, much to his brother and Wilde's amusement. But what will happen when Cordelia discovers their wager.
This is an amusing and well written novella, I really enjoyed it. I would have liked it to have been a little longer then the characters could have been fleshed out a bit more. But nevertheless it is worth reading. If the author reads the reviews, I hope she is considering writing Anthony and Wilde's tales.
