Review: Charming, slapstick romantic comedy

Another slapstick romance from the late 18th century. There are pirates, cads, dukes, duchesses (the lovely Penelope from a previous book), pet chimney sweeps, and a very proper English girl who wants nothing more than a dull, normal life...and gets everything but that. Celine is Penelope's half-sister who goes to London to stay with her pregnant sister until she is delivered of her baby. While there, she meets a `dead' man and begins the hunt for her lost love, Philbert Woodbead, a very bad poet. The misadventures begin, and will charm your socks off. I love Anya Wylde's witty writing style. She makes me laugh and I always know her characters will do something crazy and outlandish.
