A languid Lord Devin is astonished when a petite virago called Wilhelmina accuses him of selling an unfit horse to a drayman. He isn't aware of the irregularities in his stables.
Later, she foists a stray, starving kitten called Horace on him. But Hermione, his betrothed, hates cats. And Horace hates her.
Where will it all end? Will Horace have to go? Will Wilhelmina be able to save the ill-treated horses in London? Will everyone end up with the right partner?
This charming Regency story, set against the first Animal Rights Act of 1822, will warm your heart and make you smile.
And Horace... well, you'll want to take him home.

My thoughts on The Lord and the Cat’s Meow by GL Robinson
G.L. Robinson has done it again. She writes the most delightful Regency romance novels. This book is part of “The Lord and” series. They do not need to be read in order.
To my way of thinking, Horace is the true star of this story. From the time Nina saves him from being drowned, he manipulates all the other characters into either doing his will or showing their true colors. He is brilliant!
Nina is a character we can all root for as she goes about her life trying to better the life and treatment of animals. She is a breath of fresh air to all who come in contact with her. Unless, of course, you are one of those who mistreat horses or cats.
Elliot is a Lord who just can’t be stirred to care about much of anything in his life until he meets Nina and Horace. Suddenly, his life is full of purpose, and he even becomes punctual, which is a trait he was sorely missing.
Along the way, we are entertained by the Colonel, Hermione, Dick Topper, and a multitude of players to cheer for or hiss at for their despicable behavior.
I found this book very entertaining and recommend it to all lovers of historical fiction and Regency romance novels. I’ll be anxiously awaiting the next book from this author.
I received a review copy of the book. This is my honest, unbiased opinion.
The cat on the cover is a perfect depiction of Horace, but you won’t know that until you read the book. I would like to see a brighter, more eye-catching cover for the book.

About G.L. Robinson
From G.L. Robinson:
I'm a product of a convent boarding school in the south of England in the 1950s and early '60s. You can probably guess I received an old-fashioned education. I learned a great deal about the humanities and practically nothing in the sciences. I understand Latin, speak French fluently and my German isn't bad. I read the Canterbury Tales in the original Middle English when I was 16 and Shakespeare is an open book. But the only science I remember is the ditty: Miss Cummings (our teacher) was a scientist, alas she is no more, for what she took for H2O (water) was H2SO4 (sulphuric acid). Not bad, eh? Words to live by.
I met my American husband while working in Brussels (Belgium). Then we moved to Bonn (Germany). I had three children in a foreign tongue. If you want to know how to say "push" in French and German, ask me!
I've lived in the USA for over 40 years, have seven grandchildren and the same husband I started with. We live in a small town in upstate New York but nowadays spend the winter in Florida. I need to sell lots of books so we can buy a waterfront condo! (laughs ironically).
I love my garden, telling my grandchildren stories and eating desserts. I'd give up a steak for a Key Lime Pie any day!
I began writing Regency Romances just under two years ago after the death of my beloved sister who was in the convent with me all those years ago. We used to read them under the covers with a torch after lights out. My books are dedicated to her.
Please check my website for a free short story, to listen to my first chapters, and read advice from the Duchess. She's great!
