About the Book:
Surely Jane Austen would know how to handle such a rake...
From the author of Hundreds of Years to Reform a Rake, a new time travel romance featuring a modern day career woman swept back in time to Regency England, where she thwarts a Napoleonic spy, chats with Jane Austen, and falls in love with a notorious rake.
Eleanor is a costume designer in England for the Jane Austen festival, where her room at the inn is haunted. In the middle of the night she encounters two ghost sisters whose brother was killed in a duel over 200 years ago. They persuade her to travel back in time with them to prevent the duel. Eleanor is swept into a country house party, presided over by the charming Lord Shermont, where she encounters and befriends Jane Austen. But there's much more to Lord Shermont than the ghosts knew, and as Eleanor dances and flirts with him, she begins to lose her heart. (from the publisher)

Congratulations on your win!
I'm sorry, but i could never read a book with that guy on the cover...lol
Lucky you winning this one! Congrats!
Great book!
I look forward to the review! I laugh every time I see this book (and I'm jealous because I've missed out on a few giveaways)!
Congrats on your win, I & reviewed this one, I did enjoy it also. The silly pic of the guy on the cover really doesn't do it justice. Not that is was some awesome literary novel, but sometimes the hunks on the covers seem to degrade the words on the inside. Enjoy the read!
