"That Darned Piece of Jewelry"

Fresh Fiction Review

The Accidental Courtesan
Cheryl Ann Smith

Reviewed by Kathyrn Little
Posted November 14, 2011

Romance Historical

Lady Noelle is left in charge of a "school" to help retired courtesans achieve marriageable status. There are, of course, speed bumps when Noelle is in charge. When a frantic courtesan arrives claiming she has a stolen piece of jewelry from her previous protector, Noelle knows she must try to help to save her from arrest. Noelle's attempts to help, however, go awry when she is discovered in the bedroom of Gavin Blackwell.

Noelle is kind, generous, and always welcomed people with open arms. However, it would have been nice to see a slightly more forceful or "in charge of herself" woman. The love interest, Gavin, was in some ways a typical hero, demanding, determined, and handsome but still very lovable. Together, they make an amusing couple with their adventures in finding the culprit and love.

THE ACCIDENTAL COURTESAN is a fast-paced amusing romantic historical filled with fun and a delight to read. Cannot wait for the next "bride's school" story.

SUMMARY

To save a "bride-in-training" from arrest, Lady Noelle Seymour sneaks into a stranger's bedroom to replace a stolen necklace-only to lock eyes with the handsome Gavin Blackwell, cousin of the Earl of Seabrook. To explain her presence in his private chamber, she gives the first excuse she can think of: she is there as his new courtesan. Mystified by the beautiful woman who offered her services and then vanished, Gavin tracks her down-and demands that she keep her word...
