Juliet’s great-grandmother considered herself the perfect mistress, and was so proud of her life that she wrote about it in detail and left the memoirs to å granddaughter who never received them. Juliet inherits them when her great-uncle dies, right around the time she finds herself in a serious money crunch. Her solution — sell the memoirs to a publisher.
Lord Harrison isn’t enthusiastic about the idea, to say the least. Most of those named in the scandalous memoirs are dead, but his own father is not, and he doesn’t want scandal to touch his family.
What follows is a fun romance and a very quick read. Juliet’s dead great-grandmother even pops in to give advice and liven things up from time to time.
In the end, Juliet has two decisions to make — what to do with the memoirs and which of three men’s interests to encourage. I liked the ride, although I will admit that part of the ending bothered me.
Overall, I recommend to Regency Romance fans.
