Fiction. Romance. Historical Fiction. HTML: Come back to a time when manners are everything and rules are made to never be broken. Come back to a time when men are in charge and women do what they are told. . . Yeah, that never happened. Welcome to Megan Bryce's Regencyland, where ladies with backbone get what they want. Where a woman can thumb her nose at rules and care little for convention, and yet somehow, unexpectedly and most reluctantly, find love. To Catch A Spinster Olivia Blakesley, self-proclaimed spinster extraordinaire, is quite happy with her life. She has her studies and her duties, what need does she have of a husband? With five sisters married she knows the reality does not live up to the promise, and does not need to personally experiment with the state to know she would be ill-suited to it. However, she finds herself envious of at least one aspect of marriage. But to experience the physical side of marriage, one doesn't need a husband, all one needs is the right man... Nathaniel Jenkins knows his duty. Marry a young girl from a respectable family and father an heir, no matter how cold the endless parade of suitable girls leaves him. But a shocking proposal from a scholarly spinster leaves him wondering if unsuitable is just what he's looking for. Can he convince his spinster that marriage is the greatest experiment of all?.… (more)

This was a short, light, very fluffy and fun read.

None of the period except the trappings were correct, but for once I didn't mind, because I was quite amused throughout!

AUTHOR writes a romance that is heart capturing sexy (not in an X-rated manner) with a sense of humor. Romance with both class and style

SETTING: London during the season of the "ton".

HER: A 27 year old who has no other hope than to be a spinster but speaks her mind with intelligence, persistence,

"scientific observation" and often using keys as a tool to exercise her talent.

HIM: 39 and with a mother who reminds him that an heir is needed. He hates chitter chattering females that only want to "talk" about the latest fashion and the latest social event.

WHAT I LIKED: Learning by way of "SCIENTIFIC" exploration.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE: I get it !!!! I know that you see yourself as a spinster so stop mentioning it every 5 seconds.

The book has it funny moments and a lot of great dialogue. However, I rated it "2 stars" because of the sexual content. If there was no sexual content, I likely would have given it 4 stars.

The heroine was insufferably stupid. The hero should've left her long before he did. Her obstinance was unjustified and her about-face was too abrupt.
