It Takes To To Tangle

It’s Cyrano de Bergerac with a twist in Theresa Romain’s new regency romance: It Takes Two to Tangle! Romain brings her hilarious wit and flirty storytelling to a new tale about a man who falls in love with the current darling of the beau monde through her beautiful letters… but is it her, or her smart and capable companion writing them?

Though he lost the use of an arm in the Napoleonic Wars, Henry Middlebrook returns to London society and begins an ambitious courtship of the ton’s reigning beauty, Caroline. When he experiences limited success, he decides to ask for assistance from Caroline’s companion, Frances Whittier, who suggests he write a letter.

A soldier’s widow with a murky past, Frances admires Henry’s courage and sends him a secret letter in return. He thinks the letter is from her mistress, and he writers “her” again, and Frances responds… Frances wishes she could reveal the truth, but doesn’t want to hurt his pride, or her own! But when Henry defends his “lady’s” honor by challenging another suitor to a duel, and Frances’ past secrets make her feel she can’t be trusted, will either of them be able to have true love?

This first book in The Matchmaker Trilogy was a delightful surprise.  Witty and romantic with characters that are interesting, easy to like and disike. Eveything you look for in a regency.  I will read more from Thesesa Romain
