The lady is a shrew…and he’s the man to tame her!Haughty Lady Helen Radney is one of Regency London’s most beautiful women and the daughter of a duke, but her sharp tongue has frightened away most of her suitors.

Enter Mr. Ethan Brundy, once an illegitimate workhouse orphan, now owner of a Lancashire cotton mill and one of England’s richest men. When he glimpses Lady Helen at Covent Garden Theatre, he is instantly smitten and vows to marry her.
But this commonest of commoners will have his work cut out for him if he hopes to win the heart of his aristocratic bride…

Loved The Weaver – not the typical hero!
I loved the character of the weaver. From the start the book was unlike the normal regency romance. It was a fun, easy read. Very enjoyable.
this is a very original book, and possibly unlikely, but enjoyable. It goes past social convention to character and offers a lady steeped in tradition a chance to look deeper. All with a sense of humor.
The value of being a good person.
I love this author!
It was a fun read. Excellent characters, good storyline, not my usual read, but I’m reading book two. You know the directions but the twists make you turn the page
Wonderful, inventive plot. A fun read.
We all know of the Cinderella-type book, where the lowly girl marries the lofty guy. There are very few books that go the other way, where a lowly man marries above his station. Even fewer where the story ends happily, or where the story even works at all. This lovely book is one. Fabulous characters, completely believable scenario, and it all ends beautifully. No major angst, no horrible catastrophes, no implausible contrivances – just a good, solid story. Highly recommended.
Was a great idea for a book. The vibe for this book was amazing.
The characters were really great.

I enjoyed the twist with the hero of the story. It was a very lighthearted read.
