What do people say?

"A strong offering from Nicola Cornick...Through vivid detail the author firmly establishes time and place for her rollicking tug-of-war between the arrogant Marquis of Merlin and Theodosia Shaw, the woman who left his cousin at the altar... Nicola Cornick is a rising star of the Regency arena!" Publishers Weekly February 2002.

"Three special Harlequin Historical authors have collaborated to put together an outstanding anthology of regency novellas." Romance Reader Delux

"Get set for three sweet love stories delivered by three Harlequin authors who have a way with words. Each offers a romantic romp, differing in voice and style, but each one able to enchant and carry you into the Regency realm with two rakes and a quiet gentleman who unexpectedly find love. It's amazing how much story these authors are able to pack into such a small number of pages. Each story in THE LOVE MATCH will be appreciated and enjoyed by Regency fans."

"This was the first time I've read Nicola Cornick, but I was immediately drawn into her story, and will be looking for more by this compelling author." Romance Review Today.

"I just wanted to tell you that I loved your story The Rake's Bride!" A reader from the US.
