A delightful first novel, April 11 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Proper Companion (Paperback)
I picked this book simply because it was a Candice Hern novel, and I don't regret it. This book, her first published, is as delightful as her later novels.Emily has always been the proper companion and dutiful spinster who earned her keep. But then she meets Robert, Earl of Bradleigh, who completely throws her life out of whack. When her employer, the dowager Countess and Robert's grandmother, decides to go to London to celebrate Robert's recent engagement, Emily goes along and makes a splash in society. As Emily gains more notice, Robert realizes that he wants out of his engagement to pursue to lovely Emily himself!
This book is full of very charming characters that the reader grows to adore. The plot keeps moving and, except for a few long-winded sections, doesn't introspect too much. A few scenes seem contrived and predictable, but the book as a whole is fun to read.

Not bad for a first novel, July 3 2011
By Nova Avon - Published on Amazon.com
As much as I try I really don't have much to complain about. It was a pretty good story line. Emily was a nice character not overly interesting and the Earl seemed the same. My favorite character was the Dowager and her crafty ways. The Dowager was the comic relief and I looked forward to her antics along the way. If not but for her, there would be no intervention or romance between the two. Over all a easy nice escape for a few hours read. try it I think you will like it.

Most Enjoyable and True to the Regency Period, May 28 2011
By Mostly Feral "Mostly Feral" - Published on Amazon.com
The great price was the original attraction here, so I was pleasantly surprised to find myself quickly immersed in an engaging Regency Romance. Emily, our genteel heroine, accepts her unfair lot in life with grace. We are permitted to glimpse her in any number of roles, which she plays with aplomb and humor. Robert, the grandson of Lady Bradleigh, Emily's employer, is a gregarious character more suited to Emily's character than the arrogant, taciturn Lords typically cast in this role. Unfortunately Robert has already offered for Lady Augusta Windhurst, a decision made from his head, not his heart. The characters in this story, especially Lady Bradleigh with her little pug dog, are very enjoyable and the story moves swiftly. What I liked best about it, however, is that the connection between Emily and Robert is based on more than lust, and the reader can't help but believe these two would be wonderfully happy together. *sigh*
Listmania!
