Lord Dashwood Missed Out by Tessa Dare

Lord Dashwood Missed Out (Spindle Cove)

by Tessa Dare

"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."--Page 4 of cover.

Tessa Dare is becoming an author whose books I have to grab. Humorous, with strong, witty characters I quickly find myself caught up in the stories she creates. Lord Dashwood Missed Out is part of the Spindle Cove series but completely works as a standalone. Elinora is a colorful, sharp-witted and intelligent young woman, who poured out her feelings regarding a certain young Lord and has become a popular young author. On her way to Spindle Cover for a speaking engagement she soon finds herself trapped with Lord Dashwood. Romantic, funny and full of surprises I had a delightful time with these characters. While this is a novella Dare even made the secondary characters interesting in this second chance romance.
