review 1: This is a really fun story, with a just okay narration. I really liked the Hero, Lord Henry and Heroine, Miss Daphne Dale. They made a great "match" wonderful chemistry between the two, A couple nicely written sex scenes. Daphne was a smart, witty, strong heroine, not a simpering whiny chit. Lord Henry a strong, handsome, smart, witty, wealthy second son\uncle to the Duke of Preston from the first book.I enjoyed the story line and the plot, there was a lot of dialogue, throughout the book which was great. I really enjoyed a many of the secondary characters as well. Some funny moments in this book.I have already started the third book in this series and am already enjoying it. As for the narration. Its okay, its Susan Duerden who narrates with that sing song drawn out conso... morenants at the end of her sentences. Really wish she would stop doing that. But she is tolerable, much better than some, ie Anne Flosnik who will ruin a book and I cannot listen to anything she narrates.
review 2: A really enjoyable historical romance. Cute story with good chemistry. I love that Henry was considered dull by everyone who knew him -- but Daphne was convinced he was a rake, and he loved that about her and she brought out his inner bad boy. Another thing that won me over was the similarity to Shop Around the Corner/You've Got Mail. I love the story of pen pals who fall in love and don't know that they know (and dislike) each other outside the letters. I'm game for pretty much any version of that story!The last part of the story took a turn for the ridiculous. But it only lowered my enjoyment -- didn't ruin it. less

A nice spin off of "In the Good Old Summertime" and "You've Got Mail."
