I have read 2 out of the 5 books in this collection and now I know I need to go back and read the other 3. In The Buccaneer and the Bluestocking, Collette Cameron has done it again with an amazingly delicious story. Who knew falling in love at first sight would eventually work out when our couple meets again by accident but just in time to save Blaike and her sister from being sold into white slavery.
The highlight of the book was the naughty, spicy cockatoo M'Lady Lottie who always seems to find the correct incorrect phrase for the situation.
In The Lieutenant and the Lady. Blaire and Julian are a couple in love who a being kept apart by two of the most despicable and scheming women everf written. The Trudeaus (mother and daughter) are so wicked it is a delight to see them get what they deserve. When a carriage accident occurs in front of Blaire's carriage she is surpirse to find that the passengers are the Trudeaus and Julian (supposedly going to his estate for a wedding between Daphne and Julian). Unfortunately, Julian's amnesia keeps then stranded at a local inn where Blaire nurses him back to help while she tries to get to the bottom of what scheme the Trudeaus are planning.
The unveiling of the truth makes the Happily Ever After even better and the epilogue manages to wrap up a happy ending for all 5 Culpepper misses.
