Book Review By Steph
Best Laid Schemes by Emma Jensen

The practical, fastidious Rome Tarquin has finally decided that it's time to get married. By careful process of elimination, he has narrowed the field to three beautiful women, who are invited to his house party for the final decision. However, Tarquin's fun-loving mother has invited her long-time friend Lady Leverham, and her niece, Sibyl, as well.

In keeping with her family tradition, Sibyl tried desperately to be fanciful and romantic, in contrast with her own true personality. Her attempts at romance and adventure caused Tarquin both embarrasment and physical injury. However, Sibyl has since learned to embrace her true, sensible nature. Now, she must convince Tarquin that she has changed from the accident-prone girl she once was, although she is still in love with him.
