"Lethally charming Simon Blair, Marquess of Lisburne, has reluctantly returned to London for one reason only: a family obligation. Still, he might make time for the seduction of a certain redheaded dressmaker--but Leonie Noirot hasn't time for him. She's obsessed with transforming his cousin, the dowdy Lady Gladys, into a swan. Leonie's skills can coax curves--and profits--from thin air, but his criminally handsome lordship is too busy trying to seduce her to appreciate her genius. He badly needs to learn a lesson, and the wager she provokes ought to teach him, once and for all. A great plan, in theory--but Lisburne's become a serious distraction and Leonie's usual logic is in danger of slipping away as easily as a silk chemise. Could the Season's greatest transformation be her own?"--from cover, p. [4].… (més)

This is the third book in the Noirot sisters trilogy, a fitting conclusion.

Leonie, the redhead, the business genius, is out drumming up business for the shop and stumbles into Simon Blair, Marquess of Lisburne.

The subplot, the transformation of Lady Gladys, a perennial wallflower, is great fun.

Not quite as good as the earlier two, but still a fun read. The tension is gone, since the other two sisters are married and can't carry on the dressmaking business are they once did together. ( )

A perfectly nice historical romance during a week when I did not have a lot of emotional or intellectual energy to give. I wish the author had developed the relationship better, and the hero could have used some dimension, but the ongoing references to the godawful poetry that was very of the moment (including excerpts from some really terrible poems from magazines of the era) were unique and super entertaining. Nothing out of the historical romance norm, but really rather lovely overall. ( )

2nd read- I like that the heroine works for a living rather than being a titled lady, and that she's good at her work, and doesn't just toss it aside when a handsome man comes along. I also like how both of their affections creep up on them. ( )

This was q quick book to read and enjoyable but I didn't like it as much as other books by Chase. I had a hard time picking out the year in which it was set, the characters were not as complex as characters in a lot of her other books, and although there was humor, not as much as some of her other books. Using a seamstress as the heroine was fresh but it hard to visit that a high member of the aristocracy would marry someone so many classes below. Of course, that made the lack of a firm timeline even more annoying. I did like the way Gladys was handled. ( )
