Book Overview
Alexander Denford, Baron Sedgwick, is a gentleman to be envied. He lives a rakish life of well-celebrated ease and contentment and has one person to thank for his perfectly ordered existence--his dearest wife, Emmaline. She never complains about his mistresses or his penchant for late nights out. His friends are envious, but they don't know the truth--Emmaline doesn't exist. But when he starts receiving bills from London for clothes, shoes, hats and a staggering amount of other female accoutrements, he realises something is decidedly amiss. Posing as Emmaline isn't a stretch for the newly arrived Lady Sedgwick, she's been conning gentry for years. But as the popular baron's wife, she now has the one thing that has eluded her--entree into London's inner circles. Against Alexander's better judgment, Emmaline is impossibly fixed in his life. And suddenly Emmaline is challenging him to be the husband she deserves.

The MOST FUN I've ever had reading! 10 STARS
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I LOVED Something About Emmaline! I could not put this book down. Yes, the story is a little far-fetched, but so what. It was so much fun and I was thoroughly entertained. I love the way Ms. Boyle writes. I normally skim through the boring parts of books, but there truly weren't any. As a matter of fact, I re-read parts that I especially enjoyed (and there were many of them!) If you want to lose yourself in a fun, laugh-out-loud romp, with lots of twists and turns, then this is the book for you.
Made me remember why i read romances!

I had been reading pretty bad romances...finally I hit gold. this was actually good! In this book I see how much her writing had progressed. I think we can expect good things from this author in the future. The characters are blanced and I was very happy the leading lady wasn't so virginal that gets annoying! I can't wait to read her next book about Alex's devilish friend Jack!
A Great Read

I really enjoyed this book. I liked all of the characters and loved Alex. He was so stuffy and duty bound. Emmaline was just what he needed. I am glad to know there is another book pior to this one. I will be reading it.
Loved it!

I think this book works even if you don't know it's a prequel. I didn't and I thought it was great. Definitely a different sort of plot and heroine. The story held me to the end and I fell in love with Alex..just like Emmaline.
