Revenge Never Tasted So Sweet

Stumbling home after a night of carousing, Brady James is suddenly attacked, thrown into the Thames, and left for dead. He manages to escape, and vows revenge on his would-be assassins. Hatching a plan to fake his own death, he masquerades by day as cousin Gawain, the fool, and transforms himself by night into his own ghost in an attempt to frighten the suspects into a confession. With the help of Regina Bliss, a girl Brady is convinced is somehow related to his "death," the two work to right the wrongs of the past. As they spend more time together, Brady realizes that Regina might be the most challenging puzzle he has to solve.

Customer Rating for this product is 5 out of 5 Excellent historical romance
A reviewer (harstan@ix.netcom.com) , A reviewer, 11/01/2001

Feeling pity when Viscount Willoughby Rutland and his wife Abby saw the innocent looking Regina Bliss begging for spare change outside the theater, they hired her as a maid. When Earl Bradley James sees Regina working for the Rutlands, he asks her what brought her to such a crisis?

Regina, an actress, relates her tale of woe, but Bradley does not believe her. He makes a few inquiries and draws the attention of the wrong people. Soon three aristocrats abduct Bradley and toss him into the Thames to die. He survives and devices an ingenious plan to flush out the culprits with Regina’s assistance as she too has a score to settle with these thugs. As they work together to catch a killer, they fall in love, but a relationship will have to wait to see if they survive their endeavor.

Adored by readers for her Regency romances, Kasey Michaels provides her audience with her best work to date in THEN COMES MARRIAGE. The relationship between the lead couple is hilarious due to their witty repartee that camouflages their true feelings for one another. Also amusing is the straight-laced Brady takes on the persona of Gawain Caradoc, a frivolous dandy so that he can move freely among the Ton. This is more than just a strong regency; this tale is an engaging historical romance that should be on everyone’s short list.
