Product Description
IF SHE MUST DIE, SHE VOWS TO CAST SOME BLAME ON A RATHER ATTRACTIVE HEARTBREAKER!
Delirious with fever, Rosellen Lockharte summons all her strength to pen several letters from her attic deathbed. Soon all who set her willy-nilly on this path to perdition as a penmanship teacher will learn that in her final hour she forgave them. All except him. But why wait for Judgment Day to tell Viscount Stanford she thinks he is the most heinous of humans? Let her death be a burden to him forever.
But the burden, it appears, is on her. For not only has she cheated death, but now the very same man who ruined her life has--albeit, reluctantly--come to her rescue. Certainly, not even the angels above could have predicted the chaos that will ensue--nor the magic of unexpected love. . . .

Farce with wonderfully inept villains,
By Anne M. Marble "Anne" (MD, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Lockharte's Letters (Mass Market Paperback)
It all starts because Miss Lockharte thinks she is dying. She's going to dye, so she might as well tell people what she really thinks. She writes a few letters to get some things off her chest. She forgives those who have done her wrong -- except the arrogant Viscount Stanford.But she doesn't die. And the letters go out anyway. The results range from attempted "rescue" by inept twins to attempted murder by inept villains. There is a romance, of course, but it doesn't have a strong part in this story. It is overshadowed by the farce. I think a stronger romance would have made this book a keeper. If you prefer farce to romance, you might love this book even more than I did. Anne M. Marble Reviewer, All About Romance

Fun Regency,
By Annie (pearl river, ny USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss Lockharte's Letters (Mass Market Paperback)
Miss Lockharte, who thinks she is dying, sends letters to people who have wronged her in the past, and tells them exactly what she thinks of them, and it is not pretty. Oh, no, she does not die but the letters had already been sent. Even her letter to the handsome Viscount Stanford. This regency farce is fun, quick reading but I also think the book could have been a little longer on the romance between Miss lockharte and the Viscount. The farce is fun, but readers read regency romances for - yes, romance!

A TOTALLY DELIRIOUS RIOT ! U'LL BE ROLLIN' DOWN THE FLOOR !,
This review is from: Miss Lockharte's Letters (Mass Market Paperback)
Who'd have thunk a 213 pages romance could be so much fun ? My 1st taste of Miss Metzger that whetted my appetite 4 more of her brilliant works. Odd but huggable crowd that consists of : feather-brained twins, a vain, whiny cousin, an enchanting klutz of a heroine that constantly attracts misfortunes like bees to a flower, a cranky, high-handed, gorgeous hero, a loser of a villain & an over-eating mutt named Buck, all thrown together in a feverishly funny romp that ended in an uproarious climax. If U're feeling depressed & in need of somethin' to lift the gloom, U owe it to yourself to enjoy an hour or 2 of pure, unadulterated entertainment. U'll have a helluva time reading this action & humor-packed regency. This novel is 1 of those must-buy-read-and-keep collectibles !
