The Redemption of Philip Thane: The Penhallow Dynasty
Autor Lisa Berneen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mar 2022
How many times can a rake get it wrong . . . before he becomes Mr Right?
Philip Thane - rogue, rake, and scoundrel extraordinaire - hadn't wanted to show up in the little town of Whittlesey to give a speech. He also didn't expect to somehow find himself living the same day over and over again. It's strange! It's terrible! Although . . .
On the plus side, it's giving him time to further his acquaintance with the delightful Miss Margaret Allen, in town to research the book she's writing. And Philip has no doubt she'll fall starry-eyed into his arms, just like so many other ladies of the ton have done before.
Yet Miss Allen stands firm against his wiles, day after day. How is it even possible? Why won't she change her mind? What must he do to win her heart?
Maybe, just maybe, it isn't Margaret who needs to change, but rather a certain rogue, who - if only he knew it - is head over heels in love . . . and badly in need of redemption.
Bridgerton meets Groundhog Day in this rip-roaring regency comedy for fans of Julia Quinn, Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer.

Recenzii
"While offering a Regency riff on the movie Groundhog Day, with a dash of Macbeth and pinch of Greek mythology added for good measure, Berne fashions another sublime addition to her Penhallow series, one that is brilliantly enhanced by a stellar cast of characters (Margaret’s doughty lexicographer aunt is a particular delight) and generous measures of the author’s wry wit and wondrous sense of whimsy." — Booklist (starred review)
"Copious humor and heart . . . expertly crafted.” — Publishers Weekly
“Attention, Bridgerton fans: if you’re ready to delve deeper into the world of historical romances, The Worst Duke in the World by Lisa Berne is a fun place to start.” — Pop Sugar
“Enchanting . . . Champagne in book form—bubbly, fun, and intoxicating.” — Entertainment Weekly on The Worst Duke in the World
“A charming, fairy tale–like sensibility powering the latest blissfully romantic addition to Berne’s Penhallow series, following Engaged to the Earl (2020)... This is a transporting, transcendent triumph.” — Booklist (starred review) on The Worst Duke in the World
“Berne’s sparkling fifth Penhallow Dynasty Regency romance...pairs an unconventional duke with the newest member of the wealthy Penhallow family. [The heroine’s] curious combination of naivete and street smarts makes her an endearing heroine, and the romance...is enhanced by witty banter. Series fans will be thrilled.” — Publishers Weekly on The Worst Duke in the World
“Deftly funny . . . [with] strengths that set it apart from typical Regency romances. A nice portrait of what courtship is like for a dedicated single parent.” — Kirkus Reviews on The Worst Duke in the World
