Summary: Laugh on every page! Great Metzger!
Comment: I was surprised to see a negative review for this book since I loved it. Had to add my two cents.
Everything I love in Barbara Metzger novels was even better in this book. Metzger has a whole cast of quirky side characters who are worth at least a laugh for every page. The heroine is, yes, spunky and pretty, but delightfully strong-willed in her absurdities. And she seems to know it. There's nothing more fun than feeling like you are in on the inside joke throughout the novel.
And another essential Metzger ingredient: our hero is devoted to his mutt Tally. (Barbara Metzger must be an animal lover. More stars for her.) Between rambling to Tally and his brother about his "Addled Ada" you get to know our hero Chas in all his charming, caring, and steadfast country gentlemanliness. And then you get a happy ending (actually more than one)! What more could you ask for?

Summary: One of the best regencies I have read in a very long time!
Comment: I have not enjoyed a regency this much in a while. I devoured each word to the very last and grinned throughout. My initial fear that this was one of those forced funny ha-ha laugher kind of regencies were for naught. Miss Westlake's Windfall is an enchanting story that is clever and witty and oh-so-refreshing.
I loved this story. I loved that Chas loves Ada from the very beginning of this book and his feelings for her never changes. Sigh, I LOVED the fact that he had no problems declaring his love for her first. Even his sexy hunk of a half-brother went ga-ga for Ada's sister and didn't try to fight his feelings.
What also endeared me to this well-told story were the secondary characters all the way down to Chas's dog. They were written with charm and drawn with humor. I loved them all. Even the evil characters were interesting. I was spellbound with Ms. Metzger's writing. Each chapter ended so...well, right, tight. Witty and clever writing like this is what separates the great story tellers from the wanna-be or not quite polished writers. This story was so shiny and polished it gleamed.
I loved every aspect of this book. The story, the dialogue, and ALL the characters. This book will definitely go on my keeper shelf.

Summary: not her best at all
Comment: No - not another regency with the plain, spunky girl who wins the heart of the rake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Story was very slow and I too wanted to knock Ada on the head for being such a nitwit. Chas was a decent man and Ada was plain annoying in how she kept turning away his help and love and marraige offer. Someone as desperate as her would have married him if nothing else but for her family. That is how it was done back them, wasn't it??
