I enjoy Kate Harper's novels so much, I find I must dole them out to myself like chocolate truffles. After all, if I devour them all at once, whatever shall I read?My Lady Scandal had been on my Kindle for months and tonight I sat down to enjoy it. The premise of brother and sister highwaymen robbing a rakish earl and his dainty cousin promised a brisk, romantic romp, and so it would have been if not for the poor editing. "Without which he could not do without" and "to conceal its tell tail color" are silly slips and easily overlooked; however, the constant misspelling of our heroine's name as "Miss.  Marriott" affected the tempo of the story. The title Miss does not require a period at all, and the use of a period followed by two spaces indicates one sentence has ended and another begun, so the statement, "Miss.  Marriott will pour," had me wondering just who the heck was Marriott and why he was to pour.I still love Kate Harper and recommend her stories highly. (Kate, if you're out there, send me your next novel and I will proofread it for free.). Wish she would!
