The Reluctant Guardian

Rating:
Summary: A shining debut
Review: Jo Manning has created a delightful story, with a heroine and heroine one really feels for. This is a gentle tale that leaves a most agreeeable aftertaste - like a fine wine. Let's hope she writes many more, because I for one will read them eagerly.

Summary: She thought I wouldn't like it
Review: Jo Manning has done a splendid job with this plot, with solid characterizations and excellent research. The dialog is delightful and the hero's mother is one of those characters you love to hate. I enjoyed reading it very much.

Summary: Worth a special order!
Review: Jo Manning is a refreshing new voice in Regency romance. The plot of the book is already detailed on this site, so I won't go over it again. Suffice it to say that THE RELUCTANT GUARDIAN is beautifully written in a unique voice with characters that will draw you into their world. That the story idea was gleaned from actual events added to my enjoyment of the book. A job well done, Ms. Manning.
