About this ebook

From a New York Times bestselling author and her daughter!


England, 1815: Alexandra Chase has always liked being the perfect daughter, thank you very much. Why would she bother chafing against society’s restrictions when instead she could be basking in the warm glow of its approval? But when her brother’s best friend—and secret obsession—returns from a long spell abroad, she begins losing interest in the suitable young lord she’s expected to marry. Suddenly, family duty and a flawless reputation seem less important than the chance, however slight, that her girlhood crush might notice her now that she’s all grown up…


Tristan Nesbitt has done some growing up himself over the last few years, what with moving across oceans, inheriting a title, and facing a devastating scandal. But through it all, he’s never forgotten the Chases, the closest thing he had to a family back in his school days. When his old friend Griffin Chase requests a favor, he’s happy to oblige, as long as he can maintain enough distance from the family that his infamous past won’t tarnish their good name. Unfortunately, one Chase seems intent on getting much closer to him than she should…

A sweet retelling of "Lost in Temptation". It's perfect for young adults, or readers who want to avoid racy scenes altogether. In "Alexandra" we meet Lady Alexandra Chase, living in Regency England. She's always been a well behaved young lady, but when a man from her past comes back into her life mania ensues. Tristan Nesbitt is a childhood friend of the Chase family and has recently returned to England as the Marquess of Hawkridge. "Naturally a man in possession of good fortune must be in want of a wife..

Loved Alexandra! Determined, loyal, courageous and a lover of sweets, she entertained me and did not give up on her convictions. Liked the twist to the tale and the inclusion of recipes. Might give them a try as I suspect one is the early forerunner of ginger nuts!

This book is really two stores in one. It's starts as a very well written Regency Romance that is clean and very detailed and then ends with an action-filled murder mystery that solves the last obstacle to the couple's happily ever after. It takes some patience to read it, as it's a very long and detailed story. It's well worth the effort to keep at it and the pace picks up during the mystery solving phase. If you like clean Regency period Historical Romance stories, you must read this book!!!
