Review: An Absolutely Delightful Rollicking Read!

This was the third book by Anya Wylde that I have read and completely enjoyed!  Although this is the second book in the Fairweather Sisters series, with the first one being Penelope, it stands perfectly well on its own. (Although you really should read Penelope, it's delightful as well!)  If you are looking for a cheerful romance with plenty of humor and rollicking adventure complete with pirates, this is just the book for you!Upon receiving a letter from her very enceinte step-sister Penelope, the Duchess of Blackthorne, the very proper Miss Celine Fairweather dashes off to London with her little sister Dorothy in tow to assist in running the ducal household.  Only a week into her stay, she spies what seems to be a dead man being carried to the mansion!  The "dead" man, is in fact, the handsome, infamous and dead drunk George Irwin, Viscount Elmer, who has had the misfortune of running afoul of a band of pirates as well as his father and is seeking to hide out with his cousin, the Duke.  A curious friendship develops between the ne'er do well heir to the Earldom and the exceedingly proper Miss Fairweather when George learns that she has an ulterior motive for coming to London - she is seeking out Philbert Woodbead, the portly poet who captured her heart back in her little village of Finnshire.  George gallantly promises to help her find her poet (although he loathes the poems) and they proceed to hunt for Philbert, harried all the while by the pirates who are seeking George for a quite ridiculous reason!  As the search heats up, however, so does the relationship between the two polar opposites.I don't often give five stars to a book, but I honestly had a smile on my face the whole time I was reading it, interspersed with a chuckle here and there!  It's charmingly silly in a good way, and a wonderful light read!  I can't wait to see which of the Fairweather sisters is the subject of the next book, which I will be grabbing as soon as it is available!  I was provided a copy of the book to review by the author, but quite honestly, I had already planned to get it - I like her writing that much!
