Great opening scene!

The Earl Next Door (First Comes Love #1) by Amelia Grey           


I found that the opening scenes involving Adeline, Dowager Countess of Wake, Lord Lyonwood the rather delicious future Marquis of Marksworth, a case of a mistaken use of a house and a fabulous crimson corset were hilarious.
The scene where Adeline is so annoyed by carriages blocking her doorstep, as it were, where she confronts Lord Lyonwood and his cronies adds further amusement.
Adeline in full flight is brilliant.
A definite five stars for these amusing interludes but to my mind the ending dwindled into predictability. After such a strong start this was a disappointment.
