  • Lady Abigail Backworth-MaldonÆs negative views on marriage come from her late spouseÆs death while climbing out the window of another womanÆs bedroom. However, Abigail knows that marriage is the only way her in-laws will survive the abject poverty her husband left them all to contend with when he died. Abigail chooses her beautiful, but moronic niece Edwardine to get hitched to a wealthy aristocrat.

    Abigail opts for Lord Kipp Rutland to marry her birdbrain niece. Because of a deathbed vow to his now deceased mother, Kipp seeks a wife. A lovely ninny like Edwardine appears to be the ideal baby maker that will fulfill KippÆs quest. However, KippÆs best friend Brady James knows that his palÆs brain would melt if he weds an idiot like Edwardine. Instead Brady chooses Abigail as his buddyÆs spouse and sets in motion a plan to insure that this occurs.

    SOMEONE TO LOVE is a humorous Regency romance that sub-genre fans will enjoy. The amusing story line is a superb diversion due to the wacky world of the Backworth-Maldon kin who must have been bypassed when brains were distributed and the in your face machinations of Brady. Abigail and Kipp are a wonderful pair, who war with their inner attraction for one another. Kasey Michaels writes a clever tale that historical romance fans will love and seek other works from this fabulous author.
