Merlin was essentially super smart, super ambitious and kind of a flake. I think strength can be demonstrated in many ways. I know we all wax on about 'strong women' and I frankly don't know what that means. It's very clear there's a few things I like in books: The most eligible widower in His Majesty’s domain: rich, titled, powerful, and more than passably attractive, if his female admirers were to be believed-flatly refused, on account of a broken kite. And yet, somehow, she has some of the most fluffity fluff "dear god, I wish this hero would strip me naked too," moments mixed with some of the best humor. Laura Kinsale is not your flufflifity fluff romantic. With her trademark blend of heartwarming characters and a hilarious conflict, Midsummer Moon is yet another winner from the author of Flowers from the Storm, praised by Lisa Kleypas as “the gold standard in historical romance.” In fact, everything about him is disconcerting in her isolated life Merlin has never met anyone who affects her quite like Ransom does.

And maybe she does take everything people say literally, but people ought to say what they mean. Merlin is not absentminded, it’s just that she only seems to be able to pay attention to one thing at a time.
Now, if he could just get her mind out of the clouds and convince her to marry him. One of the most ingenious inventors in England, she is also one of the country’s greatest hopes in the defense against the power mad Napoleon Bonaparte.

Perhaps more shocking, however, are his feelings for the eccentric genius. Sent by the crown to bring both inventor and invention to safety, Ransom Falconer, Duke of Damerell, is shocked to learn Mr.
Merlin Lambourne has invented the “speaking box”-a sort of telephone-which is so valuable that Napoleon has killed for it. A duke’s well-ordered world is turned upside down when a female inventor sends his heart soaring in this Regency romance by a New York Times–bestselling author.
