RAHHHH!!!! This was SO GOOD! Added to my short list of historical romances I will never shut up about.

Minerva and Colin fake their engagement and leave Spindle Cove in order to get Minerva to Scotland for a geology symposium because she has discovered proof of 'dragons' (probably dinosaurs) and wants to present her findings. Along the way Colin continually makes up outlandish stories about who they are to anyone they meet, all to varying degrees of success, and thus shenanigans ensue. 

This is a must read for any historical romance fan, and even if you just want a silly fun romance - I highly recommend it!

I always enjoy this series more than I think I will! Particularly enjoyed the shenanigans in this one as Colin and Minerva assume a variety of identities on the road.

This is such a fun read. Colin is now one of my favorite romance heroes and I love his relationship with Minerva.

Standard romance plot between a rake and a wallflower, but it's a fun little adventure and not too bodice-ripping.
