Three Lords for Lady Anne (Signet Regency Romance)

I will admit that at first I got a little frustrated with the book, since the hero and heroine don't even meet each other until page 92, and I was wondering whether it would ever get around to the "romance" part! But, despite the rather slow start, and the fact that at the beginning it was hard to figure out who all the characters were, it turned out to be a highly enjoyable read. Lady Anne has become a governess to support herself and to get away from her odious relatives. She is something of a bluestocking, as well as being so tall that she towers over many men. She is independent, intelligent, and strong(just my type of heroine--can't stand the simpering miss type). Her new charges are twin boys, and they provide much of the humor and tenderness in the book. I would love to hear what becomes of them when they grow up! Their guardian, Bronson, Lord Letham, has a very low opinion of women, and no inclination for marriage, and Anne believes that men are pretty much useless and that marriage wrecks a woman's life. It is so much fun to follow these two along and watch them change their minds. The dialogue was great. One of my favorite parts is when Bronson is on his knees to apologize and he says, "...you have brought me to my knees. I hope you are satisfied. You may name your price." The thing that came to Anne's mind was the line from the fairy story--"I want your firstborn son!" All in all, a highly enjoyable, romantic and funny read. I am looking forward to reading The Black Widow, which is the story of one of Bronson's friends, Demetrius. I am sure I won't be disappointed. Every one of Charlotte Louse Dolan's books have gone on my keeper shelf after I have read them.
