The Counterfeit Attachment by Holli Jo Monroe

What a fun regency retelling of Sabrina! I was hooked within the first few chapters and could not put the book down.Įlaine has long imagined herself in love with the younger Ashburn brother, Daniel and is delighted to spend time with him at a house party after she returns home after years away at school. Jane Austen meets Sabrina in this Regency Romance. Could she possibly have set her heart on the wrong Ashburn? As Phillip starts to question all his assumptions, Elaine realizes he isn't quite what she imagined. Despite their disagreements, Phillip soon begins to wonder if she is more than a problem to be solved. Intent on keeping Miss Brooke away from his brother, Phillip sets out to monopolize her time. He won't let a penniless neighbor ruin everything by turning Daniel's head. Sir Phillip Ashburn has an estate to manage and a troublesome brother to marry off. Soon she is imagining a very different life as Mrs.

But an encounter with Daniel Ashburn, her childhood best friend and lifelong infatuation, sets her dreaming again. With no fortune and no suitors, she is back from school and determined to face the reality of a quiet, lonely life. Miss Elaine Brooke has always spent more time daydreaming than actually living. She should be reconciling herself to spinsterhood, not falling for the baronet next door?
