Miss Grimsley’s Oxford Career
Miss Grimsley’s Oxford Career by Carla Kelly is $2.51 at Amazon and Google:Play, $2.99 at Kobo, and $3.99 elsewhere. This book has a 3.83-star average on GoodReads, and is a classic Signet Regency republished in digital format. Hold on to your catnip alarms: the heroine dresses in her brother’s robes to attend Oxford in secret. I know someone’s alarm just went o-oh, darn, it’s mine. Sorry.
School For Scandal
Beautiful and brilliant Miss Ellen Grimsley considered it a scandal and a shame that she as a female could not attend Oxford, while a dashing dunderhead like her older brother Gordon could. On the other hand, society would reel in a scandalized shock at the idea of Ellen donning Gordon’s student robes to do his work.
But an even greater scandal loomed when a handsome lord in humble scholar’s disguise learned Ellen’s secret and set out to give her a most advanced lesson in love…

The Sum of All Kisses
The Sum of All Kisses by Julia Quinn is $3.99 at Amazon and Google:Play. This is a historical romance that’s part of the Smith-Smythe series, and features a hero who has a disability. The Sum of All Kisses takes place almost immediately after Just Like Heaven and A Night Like This. Carrie reviewed this book as did I, and we had rather different reactions: Carrie gave it an A- and wrote: At one point in The Sum of All Kisses, our characters eat wedding cake that is frosted with beautiful lavender flowers. This book is like really, really good cake, the kind that is beautiful to look at and delicious to taste and not too sweet and wonderfully filling. I loved every tiny crumb.
I gave this book a C+ in my review because the beginning and middle didn’t match the end: The not so good part: the ending. There’s this incredible slow development of enemies to not enemies to maybe friends to gee I wish I didn’t notice your physical person at all can we go back to being enemies…. and then BAM IT IS MADCAP ZOOMING THRILLER TIME. There was a moment about 3/4ths through the book, when all seemed well between the hero and heroine, and I wrote in the comments, “Ok, what’s the next conflict?” AND BAM THERE IT WAS. The external conflict that didn’t nearly measure up to the power and emotional complexity of the internal conflict between Hugh and Sarah deflated this book for me.
From Julia Quinn, the New York Times bestselling author of steamy historical romances, comes the third seductive installment of the Smythe-Smith Quartet, The Sum of All Kisses.
Sarah Pleinsworth can’t forgive Hugh Prentice for the duel he fought three years ago that nearly destroyed her family, sent her cousin fleeing, and left Hugh himself with a badly injured leg. That’s fine with Hugh, who can’t tolerate Sarah’s dramatic ways. But when the two are forced to spend a week together, they find that unexpected kisses, and mutual passion, may have the power to change both of their minds.
Written with Julia Quinn’s trademark style, The Sum of All Kisses is a witty and lighthearted Regency romance.

Carla Kelly is a great author when you want a Regency that is off the beaten path, yet captures the time period social conventions. Miss Grimsley’s Oxford Career is one of her BEST books! Run, don’t walk, and read it!
@Xandi: I am so excited to read it now – thank you for the recommendation!!
Miss Grimsby’s Oxford Career is a wonderful story. Ellen Grimsby a brilliant Shakespeare scholar just does it for me…total cat nip! I have an old paperback…it’s one of those 2/1 Signet Regency Christmas novels with Mrs Drew Plays Her Hand. Beloved….I read them every year!
GRIMSLEY! My niece’s married name is Grimsby! LOL
Just checked Scribd and so excited to see all the Carla Kelly books there! They alone are worth the subscription to Scribd!!
I second or third the praise for Miss Grimsley. I sat and cried at one of her reactions to her brother’s complete dislike of scholarship contrasted with her longing for knowledge. I thank God that I got to go to college and graduate school.
