Ms Hannah Pym's matchmaking skills grow in number and skill in each book and always with a happy ending(s). Such fun! ( ) Deborah Goes to Dover is a return to a more light-hearted comedic Regency. Miss Pym does her matchmaking, her footman Ben comes more into his own, and the usual romances commence. The twist this time is that the main heroine is a tomboy. While Hannah's major nemesis gets her comeuppance, it happens in such a funny way that I found myself laughing. While the story of Hannah Pym is best read in order of the books' publication, this can be read as a standalone novel. I would highly recommend this book to people who enjoy traditional Regencies. This was OK, but nothing special. It set in some undefined past (Georgian or Regency, I'm guessing), but there's not really enough in the way of detail to really narrow it down. Miss Pym is an ex-housekeeper with a taste for interfering in people's lives. She's received some money, such that she is no longer obliged to be a servant, and takes advantage of the situation to have some fun and live a little. She takes a stagecoach to Dover - for reasons never really expanded upon - and meddles with those she meets. It was a quick read, but no more than OK. I have no desire to rush out and read an of the others in the series. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Destined for Dover, Miss Pym has her matchmaking work cut out for her when she encounters the pretty but hoydenish Lady Deborah Western. Encouraged by an unruly twin brother, the spirited, golden-haired Deborah seems set on dressing and acting the tomboy, much to the dismay of her handsome neighbor, the Earl of Ashton. To Deb, the Earl is a dull stick, always lecturing on the behavior of a proper lady. But her desire to fish, hunt, and ride is quickly replaced with more romantic notions when the tall, green-eyed Earl challenges her to a horse race and wins himself an unforgettable kiss. Miss Pym is certain the stunned girl is quite ready for more feminine pursuits; and with the help of her clever maneuverings, Lady Deborah will soon be well and truly matched-perhaps even to the Earl himself!.
