Search - A Lady of Persuasion (Wanton Dairymaid, Bk 3)

Surprisingly good book. This was my first book by this author, and I felt like I dropped into a sequel with the hero jilted by the heroine of a previous book. He is playing the heavy by taking blame for her dumping him, but meanwhile he falls for his ex-fiancee's new sister-in-law! The romance is off to a rocky start (her brother hates him), as the heroine wants to marry to become influential and effect some social reforms. She is a total do-gooder, a bit annoying at times. You want to smack her, but by the end of the book, all works out, and there is plenty of head-smacking going on by people as they realize they need to straighten themselves out, not change other people. Good read, will look for additional books by this author...
