And the Miss Ran Away with the Rake by Elizabeth Boyle

4.0

It all started very innocently with a prank between friends.
One personal 'sensible gentleman looking for a wife' ad in newspaper...
One HUGE pile of letters...
One irritated Lord Henry...
One apology from guilty cousin...
It would have probably ended here if fate or luck didn't accidentally nudged Lord Henry to glimpse one of the letters. And he could not resist to reply to a saucy little minx that lectured him on getting everyone hopes up with ad like his... Neither Lord Henry nor Daphne Dale did know that those letters will change their life...

There will be a lot of funny situations, family feuds, mistaken identities, meddling cousins and strangers,...
And as a bonus - we have Mr. Muggins, an Irish terrier. Cute animals in a story are my weakness and Mr. Muggins with his soulful gazes, penchant for sausages and never-ending war with plumes and feathers was as-cute-as-they-can-get.

It's the book for rainy days that will bring back the smile on your face.

My rating: 4.5 perfect stars

I recommend this book to fans of: historical romance; love stories with a slow build-up; sensible, proper and a little bit stuffy heroes; all-knowing opinionated heroines; big families that are funny addition to the story...
