Description

Laura Kinsale's unique and powerfully written love stories transcend the romance genre. In this, her first new book in five years, she delivers a poignant, funny, sexy, Regency romance sure to delight her many fans and attract a whole new readership.

Trevelyan and Callie are childhood sweethearts with a taste for adventure, until the fateful day her father discovers them embracing in the carriage house and, in a furious frenzy, drives Trevelyan away in disgrace. Nine long, lonely years later, Trevelyan returns. Callie discovers that he can still make her blood race and fill her life with excitement, but he can't give her the one thing she wants more than anything—himself.

For Trevelyan, Callie is a spark of light in a world of darkness and deceit. Before he can bear to say his last goodbyes, he's determined to sweep her into one last, fateful adventure, just for the two of them.

Praise for Lessons in French:

"Laura Kinsale creates magic. Her characters live, breathe, charm, and seduce, and her writing is

as delicious and perfectly served as wine in a crystal glass."— Lisa Kleypas

"I loved it! Lessons in French is a delicious new Kinsale that couples the charm of Midsummer Moon with the intensity of Seize the Fire or The Shadow and the Star.

"A rich and rewarding romance from the legendary Laura Kinsale!"—Mary Jo Putney, New York Times bestselling author of Loving a Lost Lord

  • So disappointed...

    I can't begin to explain how disappointed I am with this book. I remember when I first read "Seize the Fire" years ago as well as two or three of the others. Ahhh! Wonderful. But this! This was like watching paint dry! It sucked me in the first quarter because I just kept thinking, "It's got to get better". Nope. Didn't happen. I hope she had more fun writing this than I did reading it (couldn't finish it). It just kind of rambled on at times. It was witty for a few pages. It was funny for another three or four pages. Then long stretches of boredom. And it's long! So much for eBooks! I remember when I had a paperback like this I could throw it across the room! Thanks for letting me get that out.
