Review: Take it from someone who generally does not read romance novels (my wife forced me), this one is a humdinger! Check it out...you won't be sorry! I was also impressed by its historical accuracy

Summary: Fast paced book...
Review: The French Revolution made it a crime to be rich, and Alix de la Brou was guilty. After her father's savage death, she sets off to the hoped for safety of her mother's house in England. She can't make it there on her own, she needs help, in the form of Rafe Harerest. However, her life is not the only thing at risk, her reputation is as well. The only thing that will save that is a marriage that turns very convenient when passion turns it into a real one. No matter how great the heat between Rafe and Alix, it will take danger and testing to prove their love true.** Danger and passion fill this fast paced book. Alix seems a bit flippant and shallow at times, but Rafe has all the earmarks of a hero, albeit rakish. **

Summary: great first!
Review: The Souvenir Countess is one of the best non-Regency romances I've read up to date. The plot is intriguing and the characters are three-dimensional. Rafe Harcrest is a man who likes to plan out his life and future. Therefore, as he's decided to have a family, he's chosen out the perfect, poised, passionless bride. However, as he's about to propose, he develops a sudden impulse..to run away to France... Where he meets the lovely, yet frustrating Alix de Rabec de la Brou, a fugitive aristocrat. Having given his word that he would see her safe, he has no choice (at least in his opinion) but to marry so that (since they discovered her mother fled to London) when they arrive in England, they would not be fodder for a scandal. Yet he never counted on wanting the marriage to last...or that Alix may be in yet more danger. As these two stubborn blue-bloods clash in a match of wills, the fun begins, with a delightful sprinkling of laugh-out-loud dialogue and internal monologues (esp. of jealousy). This book is a joy to read, filled with passion, witty dialogue, and just the right mix of danger/intrigue. Don't miss the sequel, A Souvenir of Love.
