The Accidental Romance (Regency Romance)

Summary: Don't Bother!
Review: I have rarely read a regency book where the story is so poorly done. Our main female character, Lucy, is apparently so beautiful that the marked defects of her characters, she hits people, yells at people, is rude, blames others for everything even when it is obvious it is her own fault, that it is wondered at that Percy, our "hero", falls in love with her at all. Outside of her face, there was not one redeeming quality about Lucy. Percey, while homely, is a very nice man, who Lucy ends up caring for but why would he care for her? There was not one scene in the book where they have any interaction that would lend itself to love. The book is is not a plus for women if all they need to be is beautiful. I mean, she hits Percy and he just smiles like a simpleton! Don't waste your time on this book.

Summary: A Wonderful Romance with the Sweetest Hero I've Ever Known
Review: [...]This book is a keeper. Just imagine Meg Ryan as the heroine who is a sharp-tongued and fiery-tempered young beauty engaged in a battle of wits with Tom Hanks, the sweet-tempered and good-humored hero and you've got this comedy of love.

Lucienne met Lord Perry Wittenden when their carriages collided and her carriage was all but destroyed. She lashed out at him though the accident was through no fault of his. Later, he published a humorous account of the accident in which she was depicted as a 'shrew'. This was not to be borne! He became her avowed enemy. Naturally, at their every encounter,conflicts ensued. There was sparring and choas. Lord Perry enjoyed himself immensely by baiting the wilful, spoilt young lady. Unknowingly, he had fallen for this captivating beauty. How they both realized their feelings for each other made most interesting reading. This is one of Elizabeth Mansfield's best. I enjoyed this book thoroughly and strongly recommend it to all Regency romance lovers.Don't miss it.
