I must admit that I just love these books by Anya Wylde. They make me smile, they make me laugh out loud and they divert me. They are fun, frothy, silly and completely absurd. Absolutely nothing about them makes sense and yet Ms. Wylde manages to make them make sense. I look forward to each new one she brings to me to review because I know that I am in for a fun read.Seeking Philbert Woodbead is a sequel of sorts to Penelope and in this tale Penelope, the new duchess of Blacthorne is very pregnant and in need of some help around the manor so she sends for her stepsister, Celine. Celine obliges of course, bringing along another sister who is a busy body with a penchant for pets.  \Celine is veddy, veddy proper - or likes to think she is. When she meets a very un-proper friend of the family her life turns upside down as she encounters spys, pirates and other disreputable sorts with hearts of gold.If you want a delightful break from the ordinary, a quick read full of quirky and lovable characters you can't go wrong with Seeking Philbert Woodbead. Or any of Ms. Wylde's charming regency novels.4.5
