The Belligerent Miss Boynton

Amanda has the personality of a minx but the heart of a survivor. She does what she has to in order to protect her sanity but doesn't think through the execution process of her plans. Her character had many contradictions, she has naivety that hints at immaturity but a wisdom born of necessity and she can play a hoyden like nobody's business. Jared was gallant, trustworthy and border on dangerous with his wicked personality and his tempting good looks but when he cared he didn't hold back from expressing that. The Belligerent Miss Boynton is an adventurous saga of courage, humor and heart that is a showstopper and a welcome edition to regency.

This lighthearted Regency was a good choice for just before Valentine's Day. It was more what I expect from Kasey Michaels -- a heroine I could like, a hero that is perfect for her, true love, and amusing dialogue. Add in a twist of danger and likable secondary characters and this was exactly what I wanted.

If you like Regencies that are the more traditional style (a hint of sex with the screen fading to black as it were), you will probably enjoy this book. I am on to read The Lurid Lady Lockport as that features one of the sidekicks from this book.
