From the cover: character Lady Allegra Nesbitt writes:
At first I thought it was just another of Oxie's pranks. My father is a notorious joker and quite harmless, but this time he went too far, taking me to London with the ridiculous notion of finding me a worthy husband. Truth to tell, our only invitation came from our neighbor AArmand Gauthier. A man of mystery with a well-hidden past, he has, I suspect, a particular reason for parading a family of social outcasts like us through his front door.
Sinfully handsome and clever, Armand is the perfect ally in my scheme to escape London by creating a bit of scandal. And I have vowed to uncover all of his wicked secrets, such as the faded handkerchief that holds the only clue to his true identity. there is one delicious dilemna: Armand is attempting to distract me from my mission with his exquisite kisses. I only hope I can resist...

This is a fun Regency. Perfect for the era & genre.
A romance treasure
cute, madcap kind of romance
This is a really cute story where our hero begins in current times and somehow ends up in the past where everyone believes he is the Earl of Sunderland, but he has no idea how to act, nor how to get home.
i love Kasey Michaels and her cute lighthearted books. I usually read them between larger and deeper novels i read or on trips but they are great and usually have a nice plot line, plus i can pass them on to my mom.
Delivers exactly what you expect! Great fun!
Improbable, but so much fun that one hardly notices in laughing at the high-jinks. 5* Mostly fun as the author weaves her plot, some romance, a bit of mystery, and a smidgen of evil characters out to get the protagonists.
