Charles Trent, Earl of Bythorne, was an unapologetic rake. Hester Blayne was a woman of passion whose writings incited women to stand up to men’s power.

But each discovered something unexpected in the process. Regency Romance by Anne Barbour; originally published by Signet

From Library Journal
When his headstrong young ward flees from an arranged marriage and seeks shelter in the country house of the notorious feminist Hester Blayne, Charles Trent, Earl of Bythorne, is furious. But Hester is not at all what he expected; and when she ends up in the earl's London townhouse, skillfully guiding Chloe through the Season, it is only a matter of time before Hester and Thorne come to the startling conclusion that they have fallen in love. With her typical wit and humor, Barbour (Step in Time, Signet, 1996) has penned a delightful, well-written Regency featuring a pair of engaging protagonists (who both reform), a well-drawn group of secondary characters, and an interesting element of Regency feminism. Barbour lives in Black Hawk, South Dakota.

SCINTILLATING!...5+++
By lark
There is just nothing like a gifted author, and Anne Barbour is that!
I was quickly captured with this comment by our rake one dawn, suffering ennui following a rather demanding night: "Good God, he thought in dismay, had it come to this? Was he actually weighing his potential mistresses on a comfort scale?"
Our rake, Lord Bythorne, just doesn't stand a chance. He's beset by a charming, but recalcitrant ward, Chloe, and has his encounter of a lifetime with Miss Hester Blayne, England's premier feminist. He doesn't know it yet, but he's done for.
This tale is just perfect - fluid, graceful writing; witty narrative; humorous dialogue; LOL situations, and a sweetly developed love story.
We come to know the protagonists so well, and they're likeable. Even the secondary characters are explored in satisfying depth. The story moves at a spanking pace - not a single 'draggy' page.
And.....it is "period perfect"!
I must be in a certain mood to read some novels, but not this one. It's great! Right up there with my favorites. I hope you enjoy it - I did, immensely.

An enjoyable romp with agreeable characters
By Dr W. Richards
This is the first book by Anne Barbour I have read, and it would certainly encourage me to seek out more of her books. This is a very entertaining story, with believable and likeable main characters, and also some supporting characters who are very well developed and could even deserve a story in their own right (Robert and Barbara in particular, though possibly also Chloe and John).
Hester and Thorne at first appear to be poles apart, but he is less shallow than she believes him to be and she is less of a harridan than he expects her to be. Even still, when they meet and get to know each other, the sparks fly in all directions! The sexual tension is palpable in some scenes, and Barbour handles the relationship development extremely well. She shows the unwilling but deep friendship which grows between them in parallel to their mutual attraction, and the way in which they come to trust each other, much to their surprise.
And when jealousy rears its ugly head... watch out!

Lovely traditional Regency with a lot of plot for a shorter story
By AJ, The Original
This book is a great traditional Regency. Hester Blayne is a radical who is content to write her treatises in her country cottage. It's not until Charles Trent, Earl of Bythorne (known to his intimates as Thorne), shows up on her doorstep that she realizes that the new "maid" whom she has hired is actually Thorne's wayward ward, Chloe. Quite the rakehell, Thorne has no idea how to deal with his ward. Since Thorne sees that Chloe will have nothing to do with his highhandedness and, in fact, appears to listen to the blistery Miss Blayne, Thorne determines that he must somehow bring Miss Blayne with them to London so that she may provide a guiding hand to young Chloe. Through a series of events, the three return to London, where Hester and Thorne have to navigate the waters of London society...and their feelings for one another.
There are a lot of secondary characters in this book that add to the story, and the secondary romances in particular tie into the story well. Thorne has arranged a match for Chloe, but she resists. He's in love with her, though, and their courtship flows throughout the book. Also, Thorne has been casually courting Lady Barbara for years. In the course of the Season, Hester also finds herself with a suitor. (Thorne can't stand it, and what is this...jealousy??) Little do they know, however, that Hester's suitor is Lady Barbara's erstwhile suitor.
I really like this book - it's one of my "keeper" traditional Regencies that I like to pull out every once in a while to read through my favorite parts. Thorne is a fairly typical rakish hero who doesn't quite know how to handle the firebrand who is Hester Blayne. Hester is pretty wonderful. She's independent, has strong opinions, and she refuses to fall for "The Smile" whenever Thorne tries to pull it out and use it on her. The ending is really sweet and romantic, and it's also satisfying to see the secondary romances between Chloe and John and Robert and Barbara come to an amiable conclusion.
