Library Journal
Bookish Elizabeth Watson may be the respected author of a book on the Second Punic War, but she is woefully ignorant about affairs of the heart. When Elizabeth unexpectedly inherits a fortune from an admirer of her book, she sets out to conquer London society, in defiance of the outraged Atwaters, who are determined to regain the fortune. Elizabeth has her pick of the ton's fortune-hunters, among them Lord Atwater, to whom she is unwillingly attracted. This novel's social commentary is often wickedly funny. Although the plot lags slightly in the middle, the characters are nicely developed, and the ending fast-paced. Reed is the author of nine other Regency romances and lives in Michigan.
