It is her first book, and it deserves its title.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-74106015651096613982014-04-30T23:43:54.409-04:002014-04-30T23:43:54.409-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-80272883204257657682014-04-30T23:43:53.665-04:002014-04-30T23:43:53.665-04:00I Love It Happened One Autumn, Irish, and I like S...I Love <i>It Happened One Autumn</i>, Irish, and I like <i>Scandal in Spring</i>, which has an American heroine and an American hero. Of course, I consider most Kleypas books keepers.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-27912173627111203472014-04-30T23:40:17.297-04:002014-04-30T23:40:17.297-04:00That's a good one, Deb.

I wrote a piece for Heroes & Heartbreakers a while back on American protagonists in English settings, and I included <i>The American Duchess</i> in that discussion. I'm glad Wolf's oldies are newly available.Jangahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15128188159653860806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-24117597407359671242014-04-29T15:16:39.710-04:002014-04-29T15:16:39.710-04:00I like the sound of this one.

I remember Lillian Bowman as an American in London....brilliant writing<br /><br />Most recently I read Jude Deveraux's 'Temptation' where the American heroine spends much time on a Scottish croft.<br /><br />The trope holds great potential for humor!Quantumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08686409685564115213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-3281810798804484802014-04-29T11:23:02.501-04:002014-04-29T11:23:02.501-04:00This one sounds like a winner to me, Janga.

My favorite would probably be IT HAPPENED ONE AUTUMN from Lisa Kleypas.<br /><br />I thought I heard rumblings that the makers of DOWNTON ABBEY are going to do a spin off show about how Robert and Cora met and married, which is the same situation. He married her, an American, to save Downton.irisheyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11730974733998991144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192776379752748640.post-17778019955607332602014-04-29T10:49:07.647-04:002014-04-29T10:49:07.647-04:00The American Duchess, an old Joan Wolf, is one tha...The American Duchess, an old Joan Wolf, is one that I really like. I think it's available on Regency Reads. It captures the social challenges and loneliness very well. Debbie Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04012956529580894658noreply@blogger.com
