I must say that I'm really enjoying this author's series, A Lady's Lessons.  This one, book 2, is just as delightfully witty and romantic as the first.Lady Sophia was first introduced as the supposed intended of the Earl of Mavenford.  After 5 Seasons, she was still unmarried and finding herself disillusioned with the men of the ton.  Telling her mother she was attending this fete or that, she began slipping to a hospital to visit with the sick and wounded soldiers.  It is there that she met Major Anthony Wyclyff.Even in the midst of a fever that would surely end his life, the Major was the most handsome man Sophia had ever seen.  They talked, they argued, they shared their hopes and dreams.  Then one evening, as he surely approached death, he asked Sophia to be his wife.  Wanting to ease the suffering man, she promised to wed him once he recovered.The next morning, she returned to the hospital to check on the Major, only to find out he had died.  Devestated, Sophia had reached the breaking point.  She quit London, gave her dowry over to her brother, and resigned herself to a life of spinsterhood in the country with her aunt.The only problem is that things aren't always what they seem.  Without spoiling things, I'll just say that even death couldn't defeat The Major.  But winning the love of Lady Sophia might present a much more difficult battle.This story is was so fun to read.  The characters are quirky and original.  The dialogue is at times downright hilarious.  There are a few scenes, including one set at a cockfight involving a melee of birds that will make you laugh out loud.  As with the first book in this series, I found I just couldn't put it down because I couldn't wait to see what happened next.
