Description

Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML: She was unquestionably a lady. Still, that had never stopped him before. He could see that she was not, he thought, that young. Even better. Another twinge of pain from behind his eyes lent a harshness to his voice. "Who the devil are you?" In no way discomposed, she answered, "My name is Caroline Twinning. And if you really are the Duke of Twyford, then I'm very much afraid I'm your ward...." Max Rotherbridge couldn't believe it. Along with the dukedom of Twyford, he--London's most notorious rogue--had inherited wardship of four devilishly attractive sisters! Including the irresistible Caroline Twinning. The eldest Twinning was everything he had ever wanted in a woman, but even Max couldn't seduce his own ward...or could he? After all, he did have a substantial reputation to protect. And what better challenge than the one woman capable of stealing his heart?… (more)

Among all the Regency Romance I read in recent years, this is the one I like the best. The heroines have spirits and can well fend for themselves. The story is amusing and it is fun to see how the rakes fall one by one. I would prefer to see another light-hearted romance like this by Ms Laurens.

The story of four sisters and their adventures in love as they launch themselves wholesale at the marriage market in London. It all starts when Caroline wakes Max Rotherbridge and adds to his hangover induced headache by revealing that as well as the estates he inherited he also interited

guardianship of four sisters. He finds himself in a bit of a pickle as he's attracted to Caroline.

The four sisters are a hoot, the male characters struggle against love and altogether it's great fun.
