Banished and disowned for saving a stranger’s life…

In Regency England, lineage and vouchers to Almack’s are everything, but Pamela Clarkdale has neither. After her father casts her out, she considers herself fortunate to have obtained a position as a companion to an elderly widow.

Kitt Covington has sworn off Almack’s and marriage. Why attend one when he has no interest in the other? Guilt, however, is a powerful motivator. Knowing he caused Pamela to be thrown out of her home, he proposes a sham betrothal between them to ease his conscience.

Kitt’s offer is tempting and Pamela agrees, with the caveat that the betrothal will disappear at the end of the season. But not only is Pamela refused vouchers to Almack’s, her family is scheming to destroy her to protect a secret she doesn’t realize she knows. When the twenty-year-old web of lies and deceit begins to unravel, will Pamela and Kitt discover that Almack’s isn’t really that important after all?

    . . .I loved The Importance of Almacks. . .and that is hard to come by when there are few historical romances that fall into my keeper pile but Denise Patrick managed it. . . I fell in love with Pamela, for here is a young woman who has never had things for herself because her father always loved her younger sister more. . . Then enters Kitt, injured. . . and somehow falls in love with Pamela. . .it ended beautifully and I loved the secrets and secondary characters falling in love. Great job!

  3. 3.5 Klovers!
    This Regency set historical was truly lovely both in the sweetly toned romance, the vibrant personalities of the players, intelligent and witty dialogs and the exciting twists and turns. . .the author masterfully weaves an unfolding story of deceit and a web of lies from a twenty year old scandal. I was immensely entertained by the story and the very likeable leads and their friends. . .

  4. Rating: A Perfect 10!
    “. . .one of the best Regencies I have ever read. . .filled with information and splendid descriptions. Denise Patrick sets Society on its ear and leaves the reader furiously turning pages to see what happens next. . .There are plots within plots within plots and surprises around every corner, interspersed between layers of secrets. . .Seldom have I read a more compelling romance that did not have even one bedroom scene. . .THE IMPORTANCE OF ALMACK’S is a Perfect 10 that I very strongly recommend.”
