Regency Ball by Miriam Lynch

I don't think that I have ever read anything by this author before. In some ways the book was rather funny in that Elizabeth Dasey barely took part in the book. It was mostly about the going ons in the Rockforth family house. A bit of the story centered on the different schemes the two younger girls came up with to engineer matters how they wanted. With it never working out of course.

Elizabeth spent her whole time avoiding and not speaking to Guy. Not to mention being afraid of him when they first met. The mystery of her circumstances was not reviled until the very end of the book. I'm assuming that they used the story line that they did for the back cover blurb because it would sound more interesting then..."follow the lives of a mother, daughter, son, father, servant, two friends, etc. as the go about their business of "?""

The book was okay. Sometimes it annoyed me with the writing and other times it was fine. Overall it was okay but nothing that I felt I needed to add to my book collection.

"Guy Westcott? Why, he has had more handkerchief's thrown at him than can be counted. He must be the most sought-after man in London!"

Elizabeth Dasey, whose aristocratic bearing and loveliness belied her humble posion as governess to Guy Westcott's niece, could not keep the excitement from shaking her heart. One look at this elegant and dashing young man and she knew love struck.

But what chance had she with someone who would never in a million years look at her twice?

But look at her twice he did. And set in motion a marvelous adventure of romance and deception....
