This was quite possibly-nay, definitely, absolutely-the worst scrape she'd ever found herself in, and Amelia wasn't a stranger to terrible predicaments. In which I am pleasantly surprised.I had to control myself there I wanted to add an exclamation mark so badly! Chasing Lady Amelia, is the second book in the Keeping Up With the Cavendishes series by Maya Rodale. I really should have read Bridget's book first because I feel like it would have made my reading experience even better but with tight schedules and all, a bookworm has to make do. Subsequently I found that I didn't feel lost at all while reading this gem of a book.In which I am overcome by fits of giggles. A country Jon in a village of late.Courted a young Dorothy, Bridget and Kate.He went up to London to pick a lass.To show what a wriggle he had in his as... The song that started it all.This book was filled with in your face humor and all round cuteness. Our heroine, Amelia Cavendish is probably the more adventurous and unruly out of the 3 Cavendish sisters. Every effort the Duchess has made to mold her into a lady fit for English Society has failed. I loved Amelia with her modern outlook at life and her thirst for independence and freedom... see what I did there? She's American and from the "colonies". Now some may cry insta-love but somehow this book worked for me. Amelia and Alistair meet one night and spend an entire day together. They form an immediate connection, and while reading this book I found that I would forget that their interaction was all taking place in one day. Very well done.Not that I'm an angst addict or anything but I do love it when the author doesn't make it easy for the characters to be together. I love self torture and our hero Alistair did not disappoint, while on the outside he shows the calm exterior of an English gentleman, inside he tries to deal with feelings of unworthiness, pain and guilt because of his dark past. It was because of that moment when he'd opened the door to his flat and found her there waiting. It was because of the way his heart beat faster with the appearance of her dimple when she smiled, because of the sparks of delight when she laughed, and the feeling of connection when her fingers were intertwined with his.It might be something like love. In which I will be reading the rest of this series.I wholeheartedly enjoyed this book, I loved the humor and Lady Amelia and Alistair's whirlwind relationship was the best part. Yes there were some terribly modern instances or phrases that might not have been authentic to the period but I found that I enjoyed the book even more because of them. On another note I read the exclusive sneak peak to the next book and YES PLEASE!ARC kindly provided by publisher via Edelweiss in return for an honest review

But with the threat of scandals, plural, looming…will he ever catch up to the woman he loves?What I Liked:My true rating is 3.5 stars. I liked this one enough to want to round up to 4 stars, but it wasn't quite a 4-star read. I LOVED Lady Bridget's Diary (it got a rare 5 stars from me), but I didn't love this second book quite as much. You can read these books in the series as standalone novels, so if I had to skip one in the series (so far), it might be this one. Still, it was good!This story is told concurrently with Lady Bridget's Diary - meaning, we start this story with the same ball in which Amelia takes her shoes off (if you read book one, you know the scene). Basically, this story does NOT follow after the end of book one. Rather, it is told simultaneously! Which makes a lot of sense, if you have read book one and was wondering what Amelia had gotten up to, for those couple of days when she disappeared. Well, this book goes into those few days, in detail.Amelia doesn't want to fit in to London's polite society. She loves horses and horse-riding, not stuffy balls and flouncy dresses. After a disastrous night at a ball, her family spikes her water with laudanum so that she'll calm down. Except that the laudanum has addled her brain, and she goes out in the middle of the night like a drunk. And runs into Alistair Finlay-Jones. Alistair isn't going to leave a helpless (and possibly drunk) noblewoman outside in the middle of the night, so he takes her to his residence. The next morning, he sees the paper (with Amelia's shoe scandal at the ball that previous night), and realizes that the woman is Lady Amelia. And thus begins the pair's adventures together. But all good things must come to an end - right? Amelia can't go gallivanting around London unchaperoned forever, and Alistair was called back to London for a reason: marry an heiress.Book one took place over weeks. But the majority of this book took place over two days. These two days were the ones in which Amelia disappeared (causing another Cavendish scandal, if you recall in book one). When Amelia wakes up in Alistair's house, he gives her money and sends her on her way... but Amelia has no plans of going back home, not yet. She and Alistair go to the market, the theater, back to his house... anywhere but Durham House.So the time period was short, which was weird at first. Amelia and Alistair have this instant connection that begins as friendly camaraderie and whatnot, but develops into hardcore lust, all in one day. They know each other for two days, but it would seem that they fell for each other, in lust and in love. But as improbably as this sounds, Rodale definitely sells the romance. You can feel how much these two want to stay together.Amelia is so wild and uncouth, totally not fit for polite society, in my opinion. She is the youngest Cavendish sibling, and she tries the least. For the most part, I like her. She has relapses and judgment every now and then, but I like her sense of adventure.Alistair has been touring the world for six years, and he's been called back by his uncle, who wants him to marry an heiress. Alistair isn't a fortune hunter, but his uncle is, and because Alistair is his uncle's heir, Alistair will do as his uncle bids. Tragedy struck the family years ago, and Alistair and his uncle do not get along anymore. I feel for Alistair! He feels like he is not good enough to be in society, for several reasons. He is quite a nice gentleman, and very sweet and patient. I like him! So different from Lord Darcy (from book one) - sweeter and less uptight. I do prefer Darcy (sorry, Alistair!), but I like Alistair a lot.Their romance was fast, and not slowly progressing like I'm used to experience in historical romance. But the chemistry was there, as was the development of feelings and such. There was a little angst associated with their relationship - both hid things from each other. But I liked how things worked out!The ending surprised me a little, but somehow, subconsciously, I totally saw it coming. A great HEA for sure! Just a bit surprising. I think it works for Amelia and Alistair very well! I think this book was a good addition to the series, and I am definitely interested in reading Claire's book next.What I Did Not Like:I thought the fact MOST of this book takes place over two days was a little two fast for me. Meaning, Alistair and Amelia get to know each other and feelings of love and lust develop in those two days. Rodale spends a ton of page-time fleshing out these two days, so that the two days takes like, 50% of the book. But logically, it felt too short. And then the proposal and the scandal and the surprise - it just seemed very fast to me. This book took place over a shorter time than book one for the most part; the last, hmmm, one fourth of this book takes place over a few weeks. But the majority of Alistair and Amelia's interactions come from two days of interactions.More steamy scenes, please! At this point, after reading many Rodale books, I've come to expect less steamy scenes than usual. But that doesn't stop me from wanting more.Would I Recommend It:So if you liked book one in this series, this book is worth the read. At the same time, book one was a lot better and more enjoyable. You could skip this one (and in general). It's not entirely necessary to read in the series. While it clears up a lot about what Amelia had been doing over the days she disappeared, and we learn all about Alistair's tragic past, I wouldn't necessarily fall over myself trying to read or recommend this book two someone.Rating:3.5 stars -> rounded up to 4 stars. I think this series is hilarious! Rodale has such a distinctive and creative writing style, in the series. I much preferred Lady Bridget's Diary, but this book was satisfying in the series. I can't wait to read Claire's book next!

** spoiler alert ** - they go on this 'just one day' by gayle foreman trip and travel across London- she's very strong-willed and does not want to marry because she wants to be her own independent woman and not be binded by marriage- he recognized her from the very beginning as the one to woo to marry for her fortune but he's more intrigued by her spirit than money - Darcy from the first book makes an appearance and takes her back to high society where she thinks she'll never see him again - only to realize he's one of the high society people and has motives to bed her for her money- not that much groveling but dramatic/cute ending with a sweet surprise- surprise pregnancy and twins at the end!!

I am new to Maya Rodale, having started with Lady Bridget's Diary earlier this year. I liked the premise of this series, with the first book being a light-hearted historical take on modern books/cinema a la Bridget Jones' Diary and Mean Girls. I didn't get the same modern cinema vibe with this story, but it was still good fun. This story is told concurrently with Bridget's, so you could probably read them out of order if you were so inclined.If you haven't read Bridget's Diary, then you will want to know that series follows the Cavendish family, American horse farmers were thrust upon London when the James Cavendish inherited one of England's most-respected dukedoms. Only the bon ton looks upon Americans with disdain, seeing them as little better than the savages they share land with across the pond. Our heroine, Lady Amelia, may be the most hoydenish of them all.As the youngest of the Cavendish siblings, Lady Amelia is the least mature and used to getting away with most of her scandalous behavior with indulgence and pats to the head. Now that she has arrived in London and is under the thumb of the Duchess of Durham, Amelia is feeling hemmed in by all the rules she must follow in polite society. One mustn't use crass language, one mustn't remove their uncomfortable shoes at a ball, and one definitely mustn't disappear to explore all of London with a scoundrel. Amelia is just so tired of seeing ballroom after ballroom every night with the same uppity women and leering men. I liked Lady Amelia, even though she was a tad immature, it was more fun than annoying. She displayed an honest joy and enthusiasm for life that was endearing, and I can see how that would have been infectious to those around her.Alistair Finlay-Jones sees himself as a half-breed, orphaned, fortune hunter, who is nearly alone in the world. The only family remaining to Alistair is a stodgy old uncle who treats him with disdain and drove him away from home after a tragic accident. Since that time, Alistair has been traveling in search of... something. He yearns for his uncle's approval to such an extent that he scurries home as fast as possible when his uncle summons him after six years with no word. When Alistair discovers that his uncle wants him to marry one of the scandalous Americans, Alistair agrees readily hoping that this will finally win his uncle's approval. I liked Alistair when he was with Amelia... she brought out the fun and flirty side of him. Their time together let me forget about how much of an omega male Alistair really was - he had no back bone whatsoever when dealing with his crass uncle. That drove me a little bit crazy. This was a bit of a whirlwind romance where our H/h meet and fall in love within a period of about 24 hours. Although it was instalove, I didn't feel like it unfolded too fast. Rodale did a good job to make you feel like you were racing the clock with them... they had to fit everything into one day before going back to the real world and facing the consequences of their actions.I continue to like the Cavendish siblings and how close-knit and down-to-earth they are. I really hope they all end up thumbing their nose at the bon ton and quit giving a fig about what the society matrons think. I felt like the Duchess of Durham softened a bit in this installment, particularly toward the end of the story. I am now interested to see if the remaining books of the series take place concurrently or if all the siblings will be married off this season. Stay tuned for the review of Lady Claire Is All That later this month.

4.5 starsI would have to agree with other reviewers who found Amelia immature. Thus a 4.5 star rating vs what could have been a 5 star read. After causing a major scene at Almacks, Amelia has a major meltdown and her family slips her some laudanum to calm her down. While under the effects of the drug she hears Alistair Finlay-Jones singing a bawdy tune and decides to investigate. After a self imposed exile of 6 years Alistair has returned to England at the request/demand of his uncle. While walking home from a night of catching up with his friends at his club he is accosted by what he believes is a drunk young lady. As she is in no condition to tell him who she is or where she lives, he takes her home with him. The next morning he leaves her at his house and goes to see his uncle. His uncle demands that he marry one of the Cavendish heiress' to save the family from ruin. At first Alistair resists, but his guilt makes him agree and then he realizes that the girl at his flat is one of the girls his uncle wants him to woo. Alistair figures fate is smiling on him and rushes home with a plan to get a leg up on the completion. He returns home and Amelia is still there. She tells him that her name is Amy Dish and that she has run away from finishing school. He gives her money to get a hack home and follows her when she leaves. He then "accidentally" runs into her and they spend the day together. One thing leads to another and they make love. Alistair knows he wants to marry her, but knows that when she realizes his deception she will never be happy with him. Alistair is torn between between his growing affection for Amelia and the debt he feels he owes his uncle. When Amelia is "found" by Darcy and they separate, she fears it will be forever. She is delighted and mortified when they meet again. But her happiness is quickly dashed when she finds out that Alistair knew who she was along and that he was just using her. Alistair is desperate for Amelia's forgiveness and really makes as effort to woo her. These two definitely have to work for their HEA! The writing was great, the story interesting and entertaining, the love scenes warm and the ending was very sweet. If Amelia hadn't been so annoying and immature - I would have given the book 5 stars.

Lady Amelia is tired of trying to a proper young lady and following all the stuffy English rules imposed upon her. So she escapes. At least for a day and finally gets to experiencing all the attraction of London that seem out of bounds to a proper English lady escorted by the handsome and dashing Alistair Finlay-Jones. Alistair fortunes seem to be looking up when one of the infamous American Cavendish's stumbles into him, especially as his uncle has recently ordered him to marry one of them. But, he never expected to fall in love with the mischievous Amelia making the situation far more complicated...especially when she finds out. I adored the first book of Maya Rodale's Cavendish series, how could anything top my enjoyment of Lady Bridget's Diary? It was funny, oddly familiar with its references to some very well known and loved books and more importantly it held the trump card; Lord Darcy. It all looked rather Doomed. But, my dire predictions were completely fallascious, Chasing Lady Amelia managed to engage me right from the first word.Before the characters of the love story, what drew me in was Rodale's writing style. It was so engaging, as if she's talking directly to the reader, it really felt like she was weaving me a tale; A tale full of humour, romance and family. By the end of the first chapter I already knew that I would be giving this a high rating.The second thing I noticed about this book? Amelia. That's right, not the hero, the heroine. As much as I love a fantastic hero, let's be honest they are a dime a dozen, having a heroine you love? That's a little rarer. Amelia's energy and zest for life really came through and gave the book life. I did like Alistair, he had the good taste to fall in love with Amelia after all, as well as ticking all those other hero tick boxes; handsome and smart.I am really enjoying this series and I eagerly await the third book in the series. Rodale has created a funny, romantic, family based historical romance series that leaves you with a smile on your face and your heart warmed.

3.5/4 Stars | Hot SteamHaving met and adored Amelia in Maya Rodale’s sublime LADY BRIDGET’S DIARY, I couldn’t wait to discover all of the luscious details of what exactly happened during the brief time that she had run away. And, though not as page-turningly perfect as I found Bridget’s story to be, Amelia’s whirlwind adventure is a fun and frisky tale filled with charm, sunny thrills, and moments of toe-curling passion. This second novel in the series delivers a pleasing Regency London spin on the 1953 classic, ROMAN HOLIDAY, reimagining various famous scenes from the film—making the familiar fresh and decidedly sexier than the original—to my great delight! But, as much as I loved that movie—Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn are unforgettable—I found that this novel truly began to sparkle when it fully diverged from the film's plot and led the couple and the reader into the unpredictable and deliciously angsty waters of morning-after heartbreak, scandal, and betrayal. Such yummy stuff! Of course, after some very heated conversations, a few stolen kisses, and a whole lot of forgiveness, Amelia and Alistair get the blissful happily ever after that I craved, and they rightfully deserved. :)Cheerfully written, playful, and nicely sensual, this romantic romp makes a great afternoon escape!

Originally posted on the blog What the Cat ReadThis was a delightful read though there were times where I found myself getting frustrated with the characters and I had a bit of a problem with the timeline of some of the events in the book. I shall admit that I had a bit of a high expectation with this story because I loved the first book in the series immensely, so I am a bit sad that I can’t give this book a full five paws. But this isn’t to say that it is not an enjoyable read or that I wouldn’t recommend that fans of Rodale’s novels or historical romance give this a read. In fact I would encourage you to read it, especially if you’ve read the first book in the series!So let me start this review off by saying that Amelia’s book takes place during and a bit after events in Lady Bridget’s Diary. By this I mean, in Lady Bridget’s Diary the reader is told that Amelia disappears for an entire day, but no explanation is given to where she was and what she did during her time away from Durham House. This book details Amelia’s adventures during that day as well as covers other events that happen to Amelia during her time in London. As such, I would suggest that newcomers to the Cavendish series start with the first book. Though you could read this one first since the primary focus is on Amelia, be prepared for some minor spoilers from the first book if you do.Out of all of the Canvendish siblings, Amelia was the only one who I had problems connecting with in the first book, so while I was looking forward to continuing the series because I loved Bridget’s story so much, I went into this one with some expectations while also prepared to possibly grit my teeth where Amelia was concerned. It isn’t that I don’t like Amelia, it’s more that I found her attitude and behavior to be exhausting after a while. I like that she refuses to conform to London society standards, that she’s not afraid to be outspoken or eschew proper behavior. Her rebellious nature is tempting on many levels, but it can also be tiresome and gets old really fast. As a result, I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with her in this book. On the one paw I wanted her to be able to live her life the way she wanted, but on the other I wanted her to grow up and see things from her siblings points of view. In the end I really wanted her to find a balance between being the wild girl that she is at heart and being a well-mannered young woman in London society.Alister also had a tendency to drive me crazy at times. While I understand that he feels responsible for what happened in his past and as such is driven to make amends, I wanted to grab him by the shoulders and give him a good shake while telling him to man up where his uncle was concerned. There’s doing something because it is what you want to do and then there is doing something because you feel like you have to in order to please someone else, and in the case of Alister, his actions were based primarily on the latter rather than the former. Despite this, Alister is a likeable character. He’s got a mischievous side which compliments Amelia’s and he knows how to be responsible, even if it is to a fault sometimes. He’s just enough of a wild card to guarantee that life wouldn’t be dull between him and Amelia while also being a stable influence for them both. He strikes me as one who would let Amelia do what she pleases provided it doesn’t bring harm to her or anyone else and isn’t too crazy.I really liked how Rodale tied this book in with the previous novel in the series. The set up was perfect and it was great to find out what it was that Amelia had gotten up to when she disappeared from the house that day. It was also enjoyable to see previous events and scenes from Lady Bridget’s Diary through Amelia’s eyes. I ended up having a greater appreciation for the Cavendish siblings and all that they went through in that book after reading this one, and I am now curious to seeing how Rodale is going to tie in Claire’s story with these novels.Now as I mentioned, this book runs parallel with Lady’s Bridget’s Diary. However, while I liked that there was this connection between the two books, I found myself getting confused as to the passage of time within this particular novel toward the end. There is a realization that happens to Amelia later in the story and the passage of time between when the book starts and when this realization happens doesn’t quite work from what I understand of this particular issue. Much of the book details the day that Amelia was missing, I’d say a good half of the novel covered this. That’s all well and good, but the passage of time for the remainder of the book felt like only a few days had gone by before this particular issue happens, and from what I understand of this it takes a few weeks rather than a few days to happen. Course, I could be wrong, and it’s no fur off my nose if I am, however, it did seem like there was some uncertainty in the timeline while I was reading the book. Rodale, if you happen to read this, I’d love to hear your perspective on this.Overall this was a wonderful addition to a series that I am growing to love more and more with each installation. I am greatly looking forward to Claire’s book which releases in December, and I truly hope that Rodale allows James to have a book as well, or at the very least a chance to share his story with fans in some format. That’s one thing I missed with this story: we didn’t really get much of James this time around and I just know that there is a story where he is concerned just waiting to be shared. Please, Rodale, promise that you’ll tell James’s story at some point! If not in Claire’s book then in a novella or a full book of his own, murr!

A very cute story! Based a bit on Roman Holiday, which was delightful. All Lady Amelia wants is some freedom, and she get's it with one perfect day spent with Alistair. Unfortunately, Alistair was ordered by his uncle to woo and marry Amelia. Ah, want a bunch of knots to untangle! An excellent compliment to the first book. This book did follow book one side by side time-wise, which is not really a style of story I enjoy. Hopefully book three doesn't follow the same pattern!

Amelia and her siblings have come to London from America because her brother has inherited a Dukedom. She loves her family but she’s sick and tired of being “proper” all the time. She used to wear breeches all over their horse farm in America and ride horses astride and she loved it. She’s definitely the adventurous sort. Her brother never seemed to have a problem with it either but now that they’re in London she seems to be chastised every two seconds for doing something wrong. When she decides that she’s worn her pinchy slippers at a ball for far too long she takes them off. She then is asked to dance and since she didn’t have shoes and didn’t know what to do she pretended to faint. Of course this made everyone see that she had no shoes on and the horror ensues.Amelia’s aunt is more than displeased with her on the carriage ride home and her once supportive siblings all turn their heads like they’re disappointed as well. Amelia can’t take it and once she gets home she decides to tell them all what she really thinks. Her aunt, believing Amelia is hysterical, decides to dose her with laudanum without Amelia’s knowledge.Amelia is in her room leaning out of her window not long after she’s dosed when she hears singing from the street. She then decides it’s the best idea ever to go check it out. She dresses herself and heads on out. She meets Alistair on the street who believes she’s drunk. They have a strange conversation and then Amelia proceeds to pass out. Alistair can tell that Amelia is a proper lady but he has no idea where she lives. He doesn’t know what to do with her so he ends up taking her home and plopping her on his settee.The next morning, he answers his uncle’s summons (the reason he’s back in London) where his uncle proceeds to tell him that he must get married and she must have money. He forcefully recommends that Alistair marry one of the American women who are very well dowered. On the way home from his uncle’s, Alistair realizes that the woman that he has on his couch at home is one of the American’s. When he finds her awake he acts like he doesn’t know who she is and she tells him that her name is Miss Amy Dish (instead of Lady Amelia Cavendish) and that she’s escaped from Finishing school. The pair proceed to try all the wonderful things that Amelia read about in her guide but was never allowed to do because proper ladies just don’t do those kinds of things.The longer that Alistair and Amelia spend together the more they start to fall for each other. Alistair knows that Amelia will hate him when she finds out that he knew who she was the whole time. He also knows that she’ll hate him even more when she finds out he’s a fortune hunter. Alistair wants Amelia to be his but only if she loves him. He wants her but he doesn’t want her just for her money. He knows he can have her because of the day that they spent together unchaperoned but he doesn’t want her that way. He wants her to choose him.This was a very sweet story. I loved the natural way that Alistair and Amelia were together. Their relationship was just so comfortable from the beginning that it was easy for me to get into the story and it seemed to flow.Alistair could have easily gotten Amelia after their day together and made his uncle happy – which is something that he’d longed for, for years. Fortunately for Amelia Alistair had a conscience that wouldn’t allow him to go after her for nefarious reasons.The romance in this was sweet and even though it was such a whirlwind romance it worked. I haven’t ever read a Maya Rodale story and this one was a great one to start with. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series and hope it’s just as good as this one was.Rating: 4 out of 5
