Comedic, flirty and fun! I love Regency romances and the moment I saw this one from Donna Cummings, I was smitten. Who doesn't love a rake?The premise is so much fun-a bored Aphrodite decides to meddle in the love lives of mortals and drags a protesting Ares along as she works her magic. Although the story focuses on Simon Blakely, Lord Winbourne (otherwise known as Lord Rakehell) and Georgina Kirkwood, hereto a resident of Wallflower Row, Aphrodite and Ares are genuine scene-stealers and every bit as engaging as the hero and heroine. I adored their scenes together!Simon and Georgina fall in love early in the novella, but things don't go according to plan. It isn't long before the Goddess of Love has to scramble to repair the damage she's done. Determined Simon and Georgina belong together, she has to lead the reluctant heroine to the same conclusion. Difficult to do when Simon shows up late for his wedding with several ladies of the evening in tow.Although this is a short read, it's the lead-in to a full-length novel, Lord Wastrel, and a series I'm eagerly looking forward to. The language and period details are spot on, and the story is blissfully amusing from beginning to end. I can't recommend this one enough!
