Love's Gambit

I read so many regency's lately and they all seem to be classifiable. This one is not. While losing none of the flavour of a regency without prosing on and on about carriages or la belle assemble patterns, Ms. Roberts brings just enough colour from the regency period, enhancing the story at the right moments and at the right places. The characters are wonderful. Sedge is dreamy and without a doubt believable. Georgiana is maybe a little too flighty once and awhile, but the writing is done so cleverly, I found myself forgiving her for this. Ms. Roberts has a wonderful way with words and I will definitely be seeking out more of her books!

I am a business owner, mother and wife in La Jolla, California. I have been a fan of Meg Lynn Roberts since 1993. As a student of Regency and Tudor history, I find Roberts depiction of Georgie to be an accurate representation of many ladies of that time. Contrary to public opinion, most women were not the milksop, dull and weak type depicted in most period novels. The Earl of Sedgmoor needed a lively woman like Georgie to keep him from dying of boredom.Meg Lynn Roberts will keep the reader on the edge of her chair throughout all the escapades in this well written Regency adventure.
