Must Love Breeches

December 8, 2014
Time travel and romance taste great together in Quarles’s Must Love series launch. Isabelle Rochon is an American historian working at London’s British Museum, desperately hoping to land the job that will allow her to remain in London permanently. Fate, however, has other plans. During a re-enactment ball, a stray thought and a magical card case send Isabelle back to a ball in 1834 and straight into the arms of the Vicious Viscount, Phineas Montagu. Montagu’s carefully crafted nefarious reputation once served a vital purpose, but now he needs to acquire an air of benevolence, and he hopes to do so with the strange Isabelle’s assistance. The pressing question becomes whether she’ll still be there when he needs her the most. Filled with historical tidbits and larger-than-life characters, the sweet story is a delight, though sometimes it meanders.
