The first kiss crumbles her world. The second mystifies. The third unbalances. The fourth sends her reeling. And the fifth -ah, the fifth . . . Inspired by Shakespeare's Taming of the Shrew, Miss Sarah Meacham has always behaved circumspectly, until an emotional outburst directed at a well-deserved gentleman earns her the nickname of Miss Shrew. As a result, she vows to never trust-or love-again. But when her father decrees that her younger sister cannot marry the man of her dreams until Sarah has secured a suitor of her own, she is faced with a dilemma: Deny her sister marital bliss or feign an interest in the next gentleman to come along, at least until their father relents. Mr. Ian Collum is no gentleman. A tradesman and newcomer to Brighton, he has been searching high and low for the perfect house. When he at last discovers Ivy Cottage, with its magnificent views, extensive lands, and a large oak tree reminiscent of his favorite childhood escape, he will do whatever it takes to obtain it. Trouble is, the owner of the property will only sell if Ian agrees to court the beautiful and infamous Miss Shrew-a woman as intent on eluding Ian as he is on pursuing her.

Five Kisses

Lovely escape into Regency England. 

One of my favorite Shakespearean plays is The Taming of the Shrew, so I enjoy this loose take on it. I love the way the love of a good book brings love interests together and also the female friendships that grow stronger. Lovely kisses as well.
