Memoirs of a scandalous red dress

Elizabeth Boyle

Book - 2009

"Lady Philippa Knolles has loved Captain Thomas "Dash" Dashwell since he first stole a kiss from her on a smuggler's beach near Hastings. Now after what seems like a lifetime of waiting, Pippin is offered a chance to renew her scandalous affair with Dash. But the man from that first heady kiss and the man she rediscovers all these years later are hardly the same. Tucked away in the back of her closet is a red dress, the one she wore long ago to win his heart . . . . Could it have enough memories left inside it to rekindle a passion she's never forgotten?"--Publisher's description.

Review by Booklist Review

More than 20 years ago, Philippa Pippin Knolles, now Lady Gossett, saved Captain Thomas Dashwell's life. Now, Pippin finds herself unexpectedly reunited with her one true love when Dash's son Nate asks Pippin to save his father again. Pippin fears that Dash is dying, but when she arrives at his ship, she discovers the dashing, roguish American privateer has become an alcoholic wreck. Even if Pippin wanted to help Dash (and after their disastrous reunion she has her doubts), Dash wants nothing to do with the woman he believes romantically betrayed him. With the help of a memorable red dress, though, Pippin and Dash just might get a second chance at a happily-ever-after ending. Boyle takes some creative risks in this installment in her superb Bachelor Chronicles series, and the result is worth it: an exquisitely written, richly emotional tale of love and redemption.--Charles, John Copyright 2009 Booklist
