RITA Award Finalist Michelle Willingham pens gripping romances that fans just can't put down. The Accidental Countess whisks listeners away to 19th-century England for a tale of passion and intrigue. Stephen Chesterfield, the Earl of Whitmore, cannot recall the past three months of his life-much less that he has a wife. And Emily Chesterfield finds herself trapped in a marriage of convenience to a man who doesn't even remember her. Now, as their romance rekindles, they much face issues of trust and loyalty even as a shadowy villain actively tries to keep the Earl's memories suppressed.

"(3.5 stars)Perfectly acceptable in every way. With a decent mystery, and sex scenes that are neither too flowery nor too glossed over. But it was missing that sparkle of humour and witty conversation that could have elevated it beyond run-of-the-mill. "
— Kat (4 out of 5 stars)
" I usually read her Highlander romances, but this was a treat as well. I must say I love that sexy Stephen, the Earl of Whitmore. I got a bit confused in places by the plot but it was still a very good read. "
— Andrea, 9/16/2013" Just a good easy read to enjoy. Yes not quite realistic but that is why we read romance. "
— Shaleen, 11/19/2012" typical romance with the addition of quotes from an old recipe/household tips book "
— Barbara, 7/24/2012" Disappointing after reading the prequel. This book concentrated much more on the conflict rather than the coming together. Some elements were emphasized (his mistress) and then left hanging. Plot devices seemed over-the-top and the romance seemed forced and un-interesting. "
— Janice, 5/22/2012" I inadvertently picked up a Harlequin and had nothing to read, so I read it. "
— Carolyn, 4/22/2012" Why does the husband always have amnesia? Entertaining because of the mystery involved. "
— Jennifer, 4/4/2012" 3.5 b ut having to choose between 3 & 4 only, I'll round up. "
— Lori, 1/16/2012" 2.75 stars for this book - the characters are never fully realized, and I didn't buy their back story and past history. Their emotions and motivations never seemed quite believable. "
