About this ebook

Come back to a time when manners are everything and rules are made to never be broken. Come back to a time when men are in charge and women do what they are told...Yeah, that never happened. Welcome to Megan Bryce's Regencyland, where ladies with backbone get what they want. Where a woman can thumb her nose at rules and care little for convention, and yet somehow, unexpectedly and most reluctantly, find love.

Olivia Blakesley, self-proclaimed spinster extraordinaire, is quite happy with her life. She has her studies and her duties, what need does she have of a husband? With five sisters married she knows the reality does not live up to the promise and does not need to personally experiment with the state to know she would be ill-suited to it. However, she finds herself envious of at least one aspect of marriage...but to experience the physical side of marriage one doesn't need a husband, all one needs is the right man.

Nathaniel Jenkins knows his duty. Marry a young girl from a respectable family and father an heir, no matter how cold the endless parade of suitable girls leaves him. But a shocking proposal from a scholarly spinster leaves him wondering if unsuitable is just what he's looking for. Can he convince his spinster that marriage is the greatest experiment of all?

I have only one criticism, and that's the vocabulary. Too many words that are jarringly modern, and definitely too many that are jarringly American. A book set in Jane Austen's era should be in the language of Jane Austen's era :/ But if you can ignore that, read it; it's otherwise very good.

It just goes to show you. A book that is short if well written just has you wanting more. If not well written, I just find it irritating. What a good writer Ms Bryce is. I do wish however that it had been longer but am truly grateful that it had a sparkling ending

I very much enjoyed the humour in this book. I will be reading the other samples of this author's books. If they are as good as this book, I will undoubtedly buy each of the samples that I read.
