Amelia Grey really won me over as a long time reader with A Gentleman Says “I Do”. This was my first book to read by her and I was just riveted. The characters she created were each so three dimensional I want to have novels for all of them! From the flighty father, to the tipsy aunt, to the front door maid who used to work in a brothel this household is very dynamic and slightly scandalous for Regency England. Normally with secondary’s this engaging they can threaten to take the story away from the protagonists.

They didn’t.

Grey proved her craft is one of organization, talent, and follow through. Iverson and Catalina are a hero heroine you will just fall for. My favorite method of the whole story was learning who Catalina was through Iverson’s eyes. Truly an experience to enjoy. ( )

A GENTLEMAN SAYS "I DO" by Amelia Grey is a wonderful Regency historical romance, It is book #5 of the "Rogues’ Dynasty" series,but can be read as a stand alone. See, "A Duke To Die For","A Marquis to Marry","An Earl To Enchant",and "A Gentleman Never Tells". Written with humor,witty banter, charm and a comedy of error you can't go wrong by reading "A Gentleman Says "I Do". Catelina Crisp has a father who has disappeared,an alcoholic aunt,and finds a Knight in shining armor.Catelina and Iverson Brentwood find passion,love,and romance,all while evading a scandal. A cast of characters who will capture your heart. Catelina trying t o stay one step ahead of debtors,while her beloved father has run off again. Catelina finishes her father's work only to find Iverson "A Tale of 3 Gentlemen" is furious with the story. She soon realizes the story is hurtful to the family and could cost her the love of her life. A tale of love,and secrets. Ms. Grey has written another entertaining romance. I enjoy this author's work. She creates a fun read full of surprises and romance. A must read for anyone who enjoys historical romance with a few twists and turns.

I tend to read romance novels, especially when I am sick. I do not know if it is to comfort me, take my mind of my pain or simply because happy ending story are generally easy to read but I tend to over look them up in those moments when I want some lightness.

This is exactly the impression I got from reading "A Gentleman says" I do ". Easy to enjoy, with a slight plausible plot and characters with short temper and sharp tongue.

Surprisingly, Catalina, is an heroin who does not play the frightened mouse, nor the submissive lady with her head down waiting for someone to take control of her destiny. Rather, it is she who leads the way into the her father household.
She who has spirit and a practical mind that works to help her family. Certainly, she remains in the shadows to avoid damaging her reputation but she is lively and does not mince her words. I found her interesting, curious and rather daring in her search for answers on topics that were unknown to her.
As for Iverson, he is an angry, arrogant and endearing male. The perfect hero for a good romance!

As for the story, nothing transcendent or nothing that has taken my breath away but yet I had a pleasant and lively time. I had never read Amelia Grey's novels and I certainly will try one of her previous works if the opportunity arises.
Unless I await the further adventures of the Brentwood's twins to see what will happen to Matson ...
