First let me say that most of the heroines in Ms Simpson's books are not your typical regency beauty. They are flawed and I have enjoyed seeing those flawed by society standards triumph in the end. The heroine in this book is no exception. She is plain. On the outside.

This is 1st book in a series Donna Simpson wrote and I've found reading a whole well written series back to back very enjoyable. She now writes under Donna Lea Simpson and is into paranormal things which I don't enjoy, I prefer regencies.

You'll see by my listing that I have most of this series and am listing them now. I will do a 2 for 1 on this series as I am trying to build point on PBS. So choose your one book and then PM me with the name of the other with a 2nd choice. Your first choice will be yours if no one else has automatically taken it first. If somehow that has happened, the automatic will have the book and I'll send you the second book. I will try to contact you first.

This book is signed by the author to a Canadian friend of hers named Cheryl.It is a first paperback edition.

This is a duplication of the info I posted when I posted her 4th book in this series but I know it's helpful when you are trying to get a whole series. Ms. Simpson's character development did improve as the series progresses.

Here are the others in the series that I will be listing.I've seen some of the ones I'm missing here on PBS.

1st Lord St. Claire's Angel - This one here's quote from the back cover "On the shelf miss Celestine sumons was past the age when a woman could hope to marry. Still she counted herself blessed for she held a good position as governess in the household of the Marquess of Ladymead. But when the Marquess's brother, the handsome Lord Justin St. Claire, arrived for the Christmas season Celestine's lonely heart caught fire."

2nd Lady Delafont's Dilemna

3rd Lady May's Folly

4th Miss Truelove Beakens -

5th Belle of the Ball

6th The Rakes Redemption

(7th don't have this but the last time I looked it is available here - A Country Courtship...I've read it and it's good)

8th A Matchmaker's Christmas - in my opinion, one of her best.

There are 4 more which I think belong to this series but I'm not sure so am not listing them here. I'm going to try to get them and if they go with the series will list them later.
