About this book

Reference BookThis book is a must-have for anyone who enjoys or wants to understand the Regency period from 1811-1820. It is a reference book that not only characterizes the lifestyles of many famous people that lived back then but also covers language, fashion, the reasons for marriage and more. History students and authors of historical romances are other people who will find it interesting. Published in 1989, you will probably have the best luck finding it at your local library. If found, the copies that people are willing to sell are listed for ridiculous prices. I have read quite a few romances from this era and, honestly, I developed a bitter taste for this group of people who expected to be served everything without question. Boredom occurred so both sexes turned to self-gratification and not with the most pleasant results. Still, I found it an education and a necessary book with a wealth of knowledge. Kudos to the two authors for their excellent research in it putting together. And yes, I will still read romances from this time hoping to find true love among the aristocrats. ...

If At First You Don’t Succeed…There are good and bad things in an undercover cop’s life. Mistaking the police chief’s luscious daughter for a prostitute? Bad. Finding out the babe is a black belt who will soon be posing as your wife on a sting operation? Oh, so good. For Conor Richmond, playing house while trying to crack a burglary ring means a chance to make amends to Jessica Nelson—by making sure their charade looks and feels blissfully real… Try Again…Jessica comes from a long line of cops—shoot, her teething ring was a pair of handcuffs—and she’s had it. She wants a normal life with a husband who doesn’t think procedurals are foreplay. Still, if going undercover will save her dad’s job, she’s willing to do it. But her resolution to keep her cool around the smug, sexy Conor—a man who can arouse her with one naughty wink—will be the hardest thing she’s ever done.
