The Wedding Bargain

The Wedding Bargain
by Victoria Alexander

The Wedding Bargain is a Regency romance. It is also extremely clever. Maximillian Wells, the Earl of Trent, agrees to undergo a test to win the hand of Pandora Effington, who gets to devise the test -- which she patterns after the Twelve Labors of Hercules. It won't be giving anything away to disclose that Max and Pandora fall in love as he conquers each task. Indeed, they are a very charming couple. Many of his successes involve some amusing puns, and their family and friends help or hinder the awarding of points. What sets this book apart from other Regencies is its wit. Another plus: Victoria Alexander is a Nebraska author. -- recommended by Rianne S. - Bennett Martin Public Library
