'With a refreshingly acerbic sense of wit Jane Austen might have
admired as well as a plot that gives a clever nod to the screwball
spooky delights of . . . Northanger Abbey, Waters proves she is in
fine literary fettle as she dexterously delivers another sublimely
satisfying addition to her completely charming Regency Vows series'
Booklist (starred review) If you love Julia Quinn's Bridgerton, you
won't want to miss Martha Waters' ingenious, laugh-out-loud and
sweepingly romantic historical rom-com, To Swoon and to Spar!
Praise for Martha Waters: 'Sweet, sexy, and utterly fun' Emily
Henry 'Awash with light, witty banter, unadulterated confessions of
love, and plenty of steamy, corset-unravelling sex scenes' Kirkus
Reviews 'Meshing the classic Regency theme of defying societal
expectations with all the wit and humour of a rom-com . . . a fun
romp full of smiles' Publishers Weekly
.............................. This is a real marriage of
inconvenience. Viscount Penvale has been working for years to buy
his ancestral home, Trethwick Abbey, back from his estranged uncle.
So, of course, he's thrilled when his uncle announces that he is
finally ready to sell . . . but with one major caveat: Penvale must
marry his uncle's ward, Jane Spencer. When the two meet in London,
neither is terribly impressed. Penvale finds Jane headstrong and
sharp-tongued. Jane finds Penvale cold and aloof. Nevertheless,
they agree to a marriage in name only and return to the estate.
Back at Trethwick Abbey, irascible Jane soon enlists her
housekeeper for a scheme: they will stage a haunting to make
Penvale return to London, leaving Jane in Cornwall to do as she
pleases. But Penvale is not as easily scared as his uncle and, as
their time together increases, Jane realizes that she might not
mind her husband's company so much after all.
