Callie is on a class trip to London and she's miserable. When she overhears a group of popular girls talking about

how they plan to sneak into a club that night, Callie is determined to join them. But first she needs something to

make her cool - Prada heels!

Callie is a huge klutz and one step in those three-inch Prada heels sends her tumbling over - and waking up in 1815!

There Callie gets mistaken for a long-lost friend of Emily. Callie soon gets mixed up in family scandal, engagements,

and high society - and she can't seem to keep from butting heads with the arrogant (but very hot) duke Alex.

This book was so much fun - I loved every minute of it! Callie is a fun modern girl and Regency England just isn't

sure what to do with her. I loved the author’s ideas of how a modern girl would react to the customs and society of

1815. Callie's adventures were creative but felt realistic. I mean really, what would a modern girl do about corsets

and the lack of indoor plumbing?

I really enjoyed the interaction between Callie and Alex. Mandy Hubbard gives a perfect nod to Elizabeth and Mr.

Darcy and their relationship was loads of fun to read.

The thing I loved the most was that the story jumped right in! I get annoyed when books tell you in the synopsis that

something will happen, but it takes pages and pages to even get there. Callie lands herself in 1815 by the second

chapter -which means most of the story has a historical setting and the action starts from the beginning. I love that!!

(Thank you,

This was a

n enjoyable,

delightful read that readers of romance or historical fiction will enjoy. I can't wait to read
