A delightfully clumsy romp where physical comedy meets tender, scarred-hero romance.
What it feels like
Reading this book feels like stepping into a warm, chaotic ballroom where the rigid rules of Regency society are gleefully upended by slapstick humor and genuine affection. The pace is brisk and bouncy, driven by a delightful comedy of errors and the endearing awkwardness of a heroine who literally cannot see what is right in front of her. Beneath the lighthearted, bawdy banter and physical mishaps lies a surprisingly tender emotional core, exploring how two people with visible and invisible scars learn to see each other perfectly. The prose is accessible and dialogue-heavy, prioritizing laughter and swoon-worthy moments over historical pedantry. It is an absolute treat for readers who crave historical rom-coms that balance laugh-out-loud absurdity with a deeply comforting, swoony romance.

About the book
THERE’S MANY A SLIP...
He’d been warned that Lady Clarissa Crambray was dangerous. Stomping on toes and burning piffles, the chestnut haired beauty was clearly a force with which to be reckoned. But for Adrian Montfort, Earl of Mowbray, veteran of the Napoleonic wars, this was just the challenge he needed. He could handle one woman and her “unfortunate past”. Could any woman handle him?
‘TWIXT THE CHIT & HIS LIPS
Lady Clarissa Crambray wanted a husband, but maybe not as much as her mother wanted one for her. Really! Doffing her spectacles might make a girl prettier, but how would she see? She’d already caused enough mayhem to earn a rather horrible nickname. Yet, as all other suitors seemed to shy away in terror, there came a man to lead her to the dance floor. A dark, handsome blur of a man.
Clumsy Clarissa was about to stumble onto true love.
