From Booklist
Olivia and her younger sister, Esme, are in London not for the season but rather to see that their beloved cousin Jane's poetry is published. Seven years ago, Olivia's coming out was curtailed due to her parents' death. Her puritanical uncle and his daughter graciously took care of the orphans, and now Olivia wants to honor her cousin by publishing her beautiful love poems. On their arrival in London, Olivia gazes at the most intriguing man. Baron David Crighton, recently recovered from a near-fatal war injury, is smitten and sets out to meet the beauty, while Olivia is on a quest to find out to whom her cousin, Jane, wrote her love poems. Although they wrote of love, those two never met, but Olivia and David finally do, although the poetry that brings them together also causes conflict and suspicion. Once again Kirkland presents a refreshing and lively Regency romance that will entertain readers and bring a smile to their lips. Patty Engelmann
