Lord Sandhurst's Surprise

I read quite a few books recently that start with promise and quickly go downhill-this book is just the opposite. I felt it started a bit slow but became very good as it progressed. I disagree with the other reviewers thought's on the heroine. I believe she was always a sweet person, but was just behaving angrily because she had literally saved the hero's life, and hid him away from possible arrest but he refused to confide in her! He kissed her in public, which in regency times, could mean "ruin" for a unwed maiden-so all in all, she had REASONS to be angry, and if you read the story correctly, you can see that she never really stopped caring for, or believing in, the hero. I enjoyed the "country" regency aspect of this novel-this novel was more picnics, teas, and festivals than the glitter of the ton. The cute cast of Laura's pets were a nice touch. Not the best novel-but far from the worst. A cute regency read. 4 stars!
