Review: It's like "Monk" meets "I Love Lucy"

The romance in this book is excellent! I liked Astrid and Montford and thoroughly enjoyed their banter, their attraction and both of them trying to fight it and of course eventually succumbing to it. For me, the romp part was not my taste - I'm not a fan of physical comedy, but many people are and I think those readers will be delighted by this book.Think Lucille Ball meets Monk. In our house, we love watching Monk. When I was a kid, I enjoyed watching I Love Lucy, but I never thought it was that funny. I mostly laughed at Fred and Ethyl's quips and I liked the relationships between the cast members. This book was the same for me. The antics are not my cuppa, but I enjoyed the romance and reading about Montford's character development. And I know I'm in the minority, because most people think I Love Lucy is hilarious.The style of comedy is similar to Anya Wylde's popular bookPenelope ( A Madcap Regency Romance ) (The Fairweather Sisters)and I think this book is better, so fans of that book should definitely give this one a try. Since the irreverent, madcap style of this book won't suit everyone, I highly recommend reading the very generous sample before purchasing.
