SOME BRIEF FOLLY

Rating:
Summary: Regency romance at its finest!
Review: Euphemia Buchanan, with her brother Sir Simon Buchanan and her page, Kent, are on a journey to visit their Aunt Lucasta for Christmas when a carriage accident forces them to accept assistance from the notorious owner of Dominer, the nearby estate. However, Sir Garret Hawkhurst, in addition to having a reputation as a rake and a gambler, stands accused of involvement in the death of his wife and child....

The first instalment in Patricia Veryan's Sanguinet Saga, _Some Brief Folly_ is an enjoyable Regency read and ably demonstrates Veryan's mastery of the genre and characteristic humour. It includes the usual cast of lovely, but feisty, heroines; noble, but misunderstood, heroes, and an accompanying assortment of dastardly, and not-so-dastardly, villains.

Enjoy!

Summary: Some Brief Folly-a first class romantic advetnure series
Review: The is the fist of a series....the dastardly and powerful Sanguinet family get their start in this novel about an "unattainable" woman who has received countless offers of marriage from the ton's finest men, and yet remains unmarried. She stumbles across a man reputed to be a terrible villain; killing his wife and only child and maiming his neighbor. This spirited and smoothly written adventure has several other amusing and dashing characters and many trials to overcome to set all to rights. I recommend this book and this series highly, and collect them in my personal library as well.
