Tessa Riordan is an ordinary American woman. She is normal, sweet, funny, a size eighteen and an actress. Oh and she is also quiet insane. When offered the role of the duchess in A MONTH IN THE LIFE OF A VICTORIAN DUKE, a British reality television show, she says yes. She desperately needs the money. She soon discovers that the original actress dropped out after the costumes were made. She finds this out when she is laced into the historically accurate corset of the smaller woman. Amid promises to revamp her wardrobe and corset, she departs for the isolated location of the shoot. The wickedly funny MacAlister has Tessa record her hilarious experiences with a quirky cast of characters and her passionate encounters with Maximillian Edgerton, the sexy Englishman playing the Duke of Bridgewater, in a laughter-laced diary that is a saucy, delight.

Fun read, I am glad that I picked this one up at the library ( )

This book was given to me by a friend and I loved it!
I laughed throughout the entire story! ( )

I wasn't crazy about this book. In fact I didn't even finish it. I think it was just too much fluff for me. ( )

Intriguing premise but falls flat and becomes a typical/traditional romance. Some of the 'modern' versus Victorian clashes were amusing, but in the end it's what I call a dispoable book -- one I don't regret reading, but feel no need to read again. ( )
