The Westcott Series is probably my most popular series, in part, I suspect, because of Miss Tibbles. She's the governess of last resort, the one who intimidates every family who hires her. By the time the initial books were written, it was clear fans adored Miss Tibbles and wanted to see her find happiness, too. Even after Miss Tibbles' Folly, I kept hearing from readers who wanted to see her in more books and that's what started the series of Miss Tibbles murder mystery Regency romances. Who knows where adventure will take her next!
THE WICKED GROOM (book 1 of the Westcott series)
What happens when two headstrong people agree to a betrothal when they've never even met and one of them is determined to break the rules?Betrothed to a duke she has never seen, what happens when Lady Diana Westcott loses her heart to her wickedly handsome horse groom instead?
A notorious duke, a handsome groom, a woman caught up in the tangle of what her heart wants versus what duty requires of her, Diana finds herself in the midst of a dilemma she could never have imagined. As for the duke, he will come face to face with the consequences of decisions that once had seemed so harmless to make.

"The book could not be more aptly titled. It is wickedly delightful. .. I dare anyone to read a paragraph about the intensity and feeling in Jeremy's eyes and not want to be taken into his arms yourself. “-- RENDEZVOUS

THE WIDOWED BRIDE (book 2 of the Westcott series)
"...another exciting Regency from the pen of one of the genres best writers. Her writing style, which is extremely well paced, always manages to bring the characters and setting alive. There is an enchanting heroine, a sensuous hero, and the always delightful Miss Tibbles. While this is a series about the Westcott daughters and their indomitable Governess, Miss Tibbles, each book can and does stand well on its own. But why deprive yourself; buy THE WICKED GROOM, the first book and indulge yourself."--Pat Kersten, RENDEZVOUS

“Ms. Kihlstrom has written yet another gem. This book contains everything a reader could want--humor, dastardly villain, passion, an achingly vulnerable yet strong hero, and a trusting, spirited heroine. The mixture is heady and delightful. Another engaging romance by a master of the genre.” RENDEZVOUS
**** "April Kihlstrom's comedy of manners goes far beyond etiquette and appearances. This riches-to-rags and back story is bold in its depiction of society and its ways of love. If you want adventure, intrigue, and just some good fun, pick up this book. It'll fill the bill." --AFFAIRE DE COEUR

Winner 1998 New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Award
Ms. Kihlstrom once again delivers a delightful Regency read. This one has a heroine who is soft hearted and caring and a hero who believes he is not deserving of these qualities. Rebecca, for all her kind heartedness does not lack grit. I love this series and cannot wait for the stories of Penelope and the irrepressible Miss Tibbles. Curl up and enjoy an excellent read.
