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.
