Book Review - Never Less than a Lady

Never Less than a Lady by Mary Jo Putney

Regency romance novels have been published for decades, and I for one never tire of them. They may be considered "fluff", but when I'm finished with the stresses of the day, there is nothing more I like to do than curl up with a tale of Edwardian-era chivalry, manners, and of course, romance.

Never Less than a Lady is the second in a series titled "Lost Lords." This book begins with Major Alexander Randall coming to the rescue of Mrs. Julia Bancroft, whose wicked former father-in-law wants to see her dead. In order to keep Julia safe, Randall propses marriage, which Julia has no choice to accept. Of course, this is not the ending by any means. Julia is actually the disowned daughter of a duke, and that leads to some new problems.

The book is light and fun and of course leads to a happy ending. Check it out today!
