   Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) mary23nm | Feb 27, 2019 |  Once in the city, Rosie asks her scandal prone aunt for help with a makeover and then armed with a list of delights to experience before she dies she jumps wholeheartedly into London’s social scene, determined to see the sights and have all the fun she can while not worrying one bit about her reputation. Max has never seen anything like it and while he’s not the sort to get serious about any woman and just sticks around to keep Rosie safe as a favor to her aunt, still there is something about Rosie and, well . . . you can guess the direction of the storyline, but even knowing where it is going there are still delightful, sometimes laugh out loud surprises. This is a lighthearted and entertaining book--a wonderfully fun romp from start to finish. (  ) Jaylia3 | Jan 15, 2014 | Complications ensue, of course. This is a delightful read with an enjoyable cast of characters. ( ) LadyWesley | Sep 25, 2013 |  ) ktleyed | Dec 3, 2012 | Rosie is dying. She figures she's got about six months before the same disease that killed her mother takes her too. Since she put off her time in London and a season to take care of all her siblings, she decides to go out with a bang (pun thoroughly intended). So she sets off for London and a visit with her scandalous Aunt Lucy. There she becomes Rosalind, a vivacious and flirtatious woman who wants to experience all the joys and excitement London has to offer; she even has a list! Max is a jaded rake. His best friend committed suicide at the end of the last season and said in his note to Max, "Life is a bore." Max finds himself feeling the same way until his friend Lucy's niece comes to town. Arriving looking like a dowd, Max doesn't recognize the new Rosalind when he next sees her. Spending time with her and her lust for life energizes and entertains Max and before long he's falling under her spell. Yes, the plot is familiar. But Hern gives it her own special spin and I kept reading for the fun. After all, like Rosalind, getting there is just as rewarding as the destination, right?

HTML: Fans of the traditional Regency Romances of Georgette Heyer, Barbara Metzger, and Carla Kelly will enjoy this witty, award-winning Regency romp by New York Times bestselling author Candice Hern. Miss Rosalind Lacey has spent all her 26 years in the country, quietly managing the lives of her widowed father and five younger siblings. When she learns she has contracted the illness that killed her mother, she decides to spend her last few months doing all the things she's never had the time or opportunity to experience. With the help of her worldly and notorious aunt, the simple country miss is transformed into a dashing Town sophisticate who cuts a wide and wild swath through London Society. Since she won't be around to face the consequences of her behavior, Miss Lacey does and says exactly what she pleases, even becoming involved with the infamous rake, Max Davenant. It is an exciting and heady time for the one-time country mouse, until she receives a fateful letter bearing news that turns her glittering new world upside down. The ballrooms and gaiety of the London Season form a backdrop for this sparkling tale of a young woman who hasn't lived enough, and a man who's lived too much. "Candice Hern never fails to deliver a well written Regency with quirky, fun characters and a romance that feels genuine to the core." â?? The Romance Reader"A delightfully different, thoroughly entertaining romp through Regency England. Unforgettable. Fast-paced. Completely captivating." â??
