Aunt Honore is back...Her niece wears spectacles, else the young lady is nearly blind. But Willa knows trouble when she trips over it.

Miss Wilhemina Linett, the vicar's little sister, knows full well that her prospects are bleak. When she accidentally kisses Alexander Braeburn, her dull predictable world turns upside down. Logic dictates that she should stay away from the handsome Corinthian. He's the black sheep of their village. But how can she resist? She yearns for one more taste of the most tantalizing excitement she has ever experienced. Just one more kiss, before Willa settles back into her dreary life forever.

Alex is intrigued by the refreshingly forthright Willa. Her honest unassuming character warms his jaded heart and makes him smile. When she naïvely marches into trouble, Alex feels duty bound to rescue her. Is it duty? Or something else that compels him to watch over the vicar's little sister?

Mistaken Kiss is a clean and wholesome Traditional Regency Romance.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

MISTAKEN KISS was written as a tribute to two of my favorite authors: the brilliant Oscar Wilde and the incomparable Georgette Heyer. How can I ever thank them for making me laugh during some of my more difficult years. I hope you will enjoy this light-hearted Regency romp as much as I enjoyed writing it. Devious Aunt Honore is back, and she's up to her pin curls in mischief. Rather a crafty slyboots in this Regency romantic romp. And I must confess I miss writing about her. Luckily, the old gal is back in book three, CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH, another Regency Romantic Comedy.

Critics praise for Mistaken Kiss:

"Wonderful reading for Regency fans! The author created a strong character, Willa, and gave her a brain to match. No simpering, faint-hearted miss here! With some fun and witty times, a bit of romance, and some magical moments, this novel is gem! This story will remain in your thoughts long after you finish reading it. BRAVA!" – HUNTRESS REVIEWS

"I love these "Aunt Honore" books and this one does not fail. Willa and Alex are delightful characters with great chemistry. I love how they seem to not realize as they fall deeper and deeper in love. ... Lady Alameda (or Aunt Honore) is a great character with her schemes and matchmaking. She is a great character through all three books and makes life so much more fun for the other characters. I really enjoyed this sweet story and the wonderful characters." – Clean Romance Reviews
