Lord Dashwood missed out A spindle cove novella

Tessa Dare

eBook - 2015

A snowstorm hath no fury like a spinster scorned. Miss Elinora Browning grew up yearning for the handsome, intelligent lord-next-door…but he left England without a word of farewell. One night, inspired by a bit too much sherry, Nora poured out her heartbreak on paper. Lord Dashwood Missed Out was a love letter to every young lady who'd been overlooked by gentlemen-and an instant bestseller. Now she's on her way to speak in Spindle Cove when snowy weather delays her coach. She's forced to wait out the storm with the worst possible companion: Lord Dashwood himself. And he finally seems to have noticed her. George Travers, Lord Dashwood, has traveled the globe as a cartographer. He returned to England with the goal of marrying... and creating an heir-only to find his reputation shredded by an audacious, vexingly attractive bluestocking and her poison pen. Lord Dashwood Missed Out, his arse. Since Nora Browning seems to believe he overlooked the passion of a lifetime, Dash challenges her to prove it. She has one night.

Review by Library Journal Review

Elinora Browning thought her time had finally come, that she would be noticed and valued by Lord Dashwood when he introduced her into London society. However, after thoroughly embarrassing Nora, Dash made a hasty escape, with no good-bye and no apology. Infuriated and emboldened by sherry, Nora penned her missive "Lord Dashwood Missed Out," a work that inspires single ladies to find worth within themselves, especially when eligible gentlemen do not. It also spurred Nora to fame as a writer. Now on her way to a speaking engagement in the seaside community of Spindle Cove, Nora finds herself in a carriage with Lord Dashwood, recently returned from touring the world as a cartographer to find he is the subject of Nora's scathing booklet. When a snowstorm waylays the coach, the two are forced to spend the night in a hunter's cabin, and Dash demands that Nora demonstrate just how he missed out. Verdict Dare (When a Scot Ties the Knot) successfully balances the challenges of pitting two protagonists against each other from the start, quickly building credible backstories for each, while readers revel in the hilarity of their predicament. Characters from prior "Spindle Cove" books appear frequently, reviving this much-loved series for established fans and enticing newcomers to read the earlier titles. A fun and lighthearted seasonal romp in which everything can and will go wrong-but only in the best way.-Eve Stano, Lincoln Lib., Springfield, IL © Copyright 2015.
