The celebrated Penhallow Dynasty series continues in this deliciously witty and romantic Regency, perfect for the readers of Eloisa James, Lisa Kleypas, and Sarah Maclean.
How many times can a rake get it wrong ... before he becomes Mr. Right?
Philip Thane--rogue, rake, and scoundrel extraordinaire--hadn't wanted to show up in the little town of Whittlesey to give a speech, but somehow he let his relative Henrietta Penhallow talk him into it. He also didn't expect that somehow he'd be living the same day over and over again. It's strange! It's terrible! Although ...
On the plus side, it's giving him time to further his acquaintance with the delightful, the delectable, the brainy, Miss Margaret Allen, in town to research the book she's writing. And Philip has no doubt she'll fall starry-eyed into his arms, just like so many other women have done before.
Yet Miss Allen stands firm against his wiles, day after day. How is it even possible? Why won't she change her mind? What must he do to win her heart?
Maybe--just maybe--it isn't Margaret who needs to change, but rather a certain rogue, head over heels in love and badly in need of redemption.

Review :
"Anyone familiar with Groundhog Day will anticipate what comes next, as it follows the movie almost beat for beat (though Berne deserves credit for the copious humor and heart)...The eventual coloring-in of the setting and central relationship leads to a romantic and satisfying conclusion."
-- "Publishers Weekly"
"Berne's Groundhog Day-inspired love story is an extremely clever and entertaining addition to the canon of 'rake redemption' romances."
