review 1: An Unlikely Alliance by Rachel Van Dyken is just that – the romantic escapades of a very unlikely couple. This regency romance follows Evelyn De Jarlais, a southern farm girl suddenly thrust into New York society, and Royce McArthrur, a wealthy merchant playboy used to having his way with women. When Royce sets his sights on Evelyn, he gets more than he was expecting. She is forthright and feisty – characteristics he is not used to, which of course, heightens his attraction. For her part, Evelyn fears Royce’s reputation as a rake, and wonders if she can really trust him. However, the couple soon find that they have another mutual problem on their hands and must work together to discover the truth. The book is short and sweet, with some well written romantic scenes ... morethat sizzle. I liked the flawed nature of both of the main characters. I felt like the resolution came a little too quickly after the a moment of potential devastation, but overall, it was a quick and easy read which I enjoyed.
review 2: Refreshing historical love story. I literally chuckled throughout this delightful book with its clever banter and word sparring between the characters. After reading so many stories about the typical "rake", Royce didn't disappoint. I'd love to meet him and laugh my way through a conversation! Contemporary, realistic characters in a Regency setting-a very comical situation, *smirk*. Can't wait to read more! less
