Book Reviews of Crossed Quills (Zebra Regency Romance)
Book Review: Pleasant; admirable hero and heroine
Summary: 4 Stars
Wynn Selworth has inherited money and a title. His days as a Gothic Romance writer under the pen name Dred Valentine are over. He no longer needs to earn money from that venture. But while preparing his maiden speech to the House on issues of importance, he finds his flowing and embellished writing style will make him a laughing stock. So he seeks "Prometheus" who writes radical political articles to get some help. But Prometheus is pen name for Phillipa "Pippa" Lisle and she lives in anonymity in the country. When Wynn finds Pippa, she claims a friendship with Prometheus and Mrs. Lisle (Pippa's mother) decides that Prometheus will lend writing support if Lord Selworth aids Pippa and her sister in their introduction to society in London.
Wynn is more than willing, since their come-out in society will be at the same time his younger half-sister is to be introduced by his married sister (Albinia). Since Pippa is Albinia's good friend, they stay at her house in London and Wynn escorts them about. All is going splendidly - there is matchmaking afoot and several romances among the secondary characters. Wynn finds himself drawn to Pippa for her mind and he is falling in love. He does guess that she is Prometheus and shares his own pen name with her, especially since he has one more book that has just been published.
But Wynn's talkative half-sister (younger) stirs up trouble and Pippa is believed to be the Gothic Novelist Dred Valentine. Since these books are rather "bawdy," Pippa and her family are snubbed. Wynn has left town on some business and Pippa tries to find him. She is caught in a compromising position with Wynn's best friend. Will Wynn lose Pippa to his friend Gil? How will the family's good name be restored to the ton? What about the speech to the House of Lords.
You will want to read this pleasant tale to find out the answers. There is plenty of tension without any villains or sinister plots. Thoroughly enjoyable with likable, admirable characters!
Summary of Crossed Quills (Zebra Regency Romance)
Philippa "Pippa" Lisle is more interested in politics than fashion. From Sweetbriar Cottage, she writes essays on the issues of the day, not daring to reveal herself as their author, the radical Prometheus. After all, what respectable gentleman would wed her if the truth were known that "she" was posing as a "he"? So when the disarmingly handsome Lord Selworth seeks Prometheus' literary help, Pippa is torn. She's sure if she accepts, her secret will be out.General Books
