title: Elisabeth and the Marquis
author: Snyder, Ann
description: The Regency romp is back!   Set in 1817 England, this comedy of manners features Lady Elisabeth Chadwick, a spirited beauty who enjoys life in the country, where she raises Scottish deerhounds, and Lord John Loveland, the Marquis of Edmonton, an accomplished rake who inherits the estate next door.  And when they meet, the battle commences.  It's dislike at first sight for these two, as they engage in a battle of wits and wills. Even when circumstances force an engagement, neither backs down as they battle all the way to the altar.  Elisabeth and the Marquis has a cast of characters whose misadventures will have you laughing from beginning to end.  Ann Snyder has brought back the Regency romp for a new generation of readers to enjoy. A fast pace, witty dialog, and superbly funny characterizations make Elisabeth and the Marquis a must-read book for every lover of romantic comedies of manners.
