PRAISE FOR LAURIE BROWN:

"Highly original. If you''re in the market for a different kind of historical romance, or you enjoy stories filled with period detail, Hundreds of Years to Reform a Rake is a solid bet."— wordcandybooks.blogspot.com

"Brown''s ending was clever and I never suspected Josie would choose the path she takes. I would recommend Hundreds of Years to Reform a Rake to anyone who enjoys paranormals, and even Regency fans who don''t usually read them. Brown did an excellent job of combining the two genres."— aladysdiversions.blogspot.com

"A very enjoyable read with Josie a feisty and independent character, and Deverell the ghost and Deverell the man both also very appealing." —curledup.com

"Humor, mystery, ghosts, history, and... pure fun."—blogcritics.org
