Lord Carlton's Courtship

Miss Roma Allendyle detested behaving like a proper lady, and all the accompanying nonsense. After all, she could outride and outshoot any gentleman. If finding her missing brother, an agent of the Crown, required her to disguise herself as a grubby lad, so be it. She expected to face challenges, but not to be waylaid by a mysterious ambush, wounded by a bullet—and rescued by the darkly handsome Lord Giles Carlton, the Season’s prime catch. Worse, in return for his aid, Giles has taken an imperious interest in her affairs and insists on helping with her search. But that is not the last surprise. For in Giles, Roma just may find a will to match her own, a passion to rival her fierce pride—and an outlandish ploy that could lead to true love. This is my kind of book a romance with a mystery & intrigue but best of all the main characters are brilliant, fighting their attraction but the icing on the cake is their verbal spats which at times had me laughing out loud. This book is re released from 2000, I wish the author was still writing romances as they are still so very good. My honest review is for a special copy I voluntarily read

Has some action as well as romance. I went thru this pretty fast Cuzco I had hard time putting it down. Kept one guessing til very end.

Good
