Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure

FANDOM NAME: Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure - Courtney Milan
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: It's a regency f/f romance novella in which two delightful heroines from different social classes join forces to get revenge on a terrible man. Oh, and the heroines are 73 and 69 respectively.

The official synopsis:

Mrs. Bertrice Martin—a widow, some seventy-three years young—has kept her youthful-ish appearance with the most powerful of home remedies: daily doses of spite, regular baths in man-tears, and refusing to give so much as a single damn about her Terrible Nephew.

Then proper, correct Miss Violetta Beauchamps, a sprightly young thing of nine and sixty, crashes into her life. The Terrible Nephew is living in her rooming house, and Violetta wants him gone.

Mrs. Martin isn’t about to start giving damns, not even for someone as intriguing as Miss Violetta. But she hatches another plan—to make her nephew sorry, to make Miss Violetta smile, and to have the finest adventure of all time.

If she makes Terrible Men angry and wins the hand of a lovely lady in the process? Those are just added bonuses.


Because it's a novella it's a very quick read. The ebook is listed as 144 pages.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?(optional): It's available from all the usual ebook retailers for $2.24 US/$2.99 CAD. There's also a paperback for $5.99. The author's website has purchase links and an excerpt which gives a very good idea of the tone of the story.
