This review is from: Lady Of Letters (Paperback)
The Earl of Sheffield was thought to be a shallow and selfish man. None understood the wisdom and shocking ideas that went on inside his head. None, that was, except for the anonymous writer who signed his essays as Firebrand. The man was exactly the type in which the Earl looked for as a pen pal. Someone he could actually speak intelligently with! Someone who would not look down upon his ideas because of his rank or reputation. Thus be began correspondence with Firebrand through his publisher. The Earl called himself Tinder. What he did not know was that Firebrand was female! Lady Augusta Hadley was considered to be "on the shelf". She went to balls only as chaperon for her younger sister, Marianne. No one, not even her dear sister, knew that Augusta was the famous Firebrand that all the ton spoke about.... Full of adventure, a tad of romance, and a lot of dry wit. I found this one to be highly enjoyable. Definitely recommended.

They were soulmates, but didn't recognize each other., Jun 26 2001
This review is from: Lady Of Letters (Paperback)
Their first meeting was not one they would remember fondly. Lady Augusta Hadley spilled punch all over the Earl of Sheffield. But there was more to Gussie than clumsiness, more to the earl than his rakish lifestyle. Little did they realize that they were soulmates. Gussie is the political essayist known as "the Firebrand"; the earl is her correspondent, "Tinder." Their letters kindle ideas; their public meetings strike sparks. A conflagration is the inevitable result!
