This is my first book by this author although I had seen other reviewers mentioning her from time to time. What a delight. I must admit that I'm a reader that loves a good story. I think reading is about imagination and I don't need sex scenes on every other page. I cannot reconcile myself to all the 'modern' historicals out there and books that are true to the time period. Ms Smith is my kind of author and I could literally picture some of the scenes she set. I loved the romance, I loved the characters and I loved the story. She's a great writer who doesn't rely on sex to sell her books.This book is about an H who meets the h 2 years before at a house party and they'd definitely made a connection. He has to unexpectedly leave due to the death of his father and it takes him 2 years to finally track the h down. The h is a poor relation who moves from one relative to the next, helping out in exchange for a place to stay. The H is an Earl, whose name has been linked to at least 2 other ladies in the past 2 years. He arrives at the house where the h is staying for a wedding and he brings a beautiful, spoilt young lady with him. Very entertaining story.
