ReviewsPraise for Miss Pretence's series "An enjoyable new Regency series." -- Library Journal "Equal parts witty and romantic, All's Fair in Love and War is a page-turning Regency charmer. Virginia Heath's writing is top notch, sparkling with her trademark humor. I was smiling (and swooning) all the way through." --Mimi Matthews, USA Today bestselling author "A thoroughly charming slow-burn romance between a fastidious captain and a feisty governess, accompanied by a trio of rambunctious children and one willful pup. A delightful read!" --Amalie Howard, USA Today bestselling author of Never Met a Duke Like You "Readers never tire of a down-on-her-luck heroine and a hero who needs to lighten up, and Heath provides both in this entertaining romp along with puckish children, busybody servants and mischievous dogs." -- BookPage "A really fun rom-com, that hits all the right notes." -- Red Carpet Crash " All's Fair in Love and War is a truly delightful tale of two very opposite people who both learn a little bit about each other's needs and wants. And the children bring quite a bit of fun into the story with their own different backgrounds. A totally entertaining romp ensues." -- Romance Reviews Today " All's Fair in Love and War made me absolutely excited to see what's up next for this group of enterprising young women - which is the best compliment I can give any romance series." -- All About Romance
Series Volume Number2
SynopsisIn this hilarious second installment of a Regency romance series, a single lord is forced to settle down...and when a houseparty brings a happy-go-lucky lady's companion his way, his grumpy heart is unexpectedly warmed. Nine years ago, Lord Guy Harrowby, Viscount Wennington, was publicly humiliated by a failed and reckless romantic gesture. Despite this, his mother clings to the promise he made her then: that she would have a house full of grandchildren by his thirtieth birthday. Still single, embittered, and swiftly approaching thirty, Guy's work is his life. In desperation, his mother blindsides Guy with a weeklong house party at his estate filled with annoying debutantes, all competing to be his wife. After failing as a governess, Lottie Travers is struggling as a lady's companion. Raised in an all-male household, she's developed habits that get her dismissed. Even after years of Miss Prentice's teachings of how to be a lady, she climbs trees better than she embroiders and can't resist riding horses astride, in breeches. But with the family farm in trouble, and her father now in dire need of her wages, she's determined to conquer her wildness once and for all. Even with his home full of eligible women, there is only one who catches Guy's eye--though he tries to deny it. For Lottie, succeeding in her new role proves difficult when the Wennington estate is filled with horses, and a spark ignites between her and the grumpy lord. Will they remain stuck in their ways, or learn that they may just be the perfect match?
