Bedding Lord Ned by Sally Mackenzie, 352 pages
Loved this very light and funny romance story. Without realizing it, I had chosen the second book in the "Dutchess of Love" series.
"On the shelf" Nell has determined to give up her pursuit of her childhood friend, Lord Ned, since he's never given her notice... and she wants a family. She attends the Duchess of Greycliffe's birthday ball for Lord Ned with a promise from the Duchess that she will have eligible bachelors there for her. Along for the ride are a pair of her red silk drawers (bloomers) which, with the help of a mischievous cat, keep finding themselves in the most embarrassing places to be discovered by none other than Lord Ned. Nell is dismayed with the continued appearance of her red drawers and the lack of appealing suitors, but she's determined to settle on someone for a husband regardless of her feelings. Lord Ned is ready to marry again after the death of his first wife. When he meets one very pretty young girl who is the image of his first wife, he thinks himself in love. But what of Nell and her sexy red drawers. She's not as plain and simple as he's always thought her to be and he's quickly finding his mind drawn to her more often than not throughout the whole hysterical affair.
