Editorial Review:
Never did Alexander "Ace" Endicott, the Earl of Cards, imagine himself to be thrice-betrothed against his will by the doings of three desperate debutantes. So he escapes London to his property in the country, where he follows through with his deceased father's last wish-to find his long-lost step-sister. His search takes a detour and leads him to Nell, who piques his interest. Now, Ace may have to reconsider his rejection of marriage and see if two mismatched lovers can make a royal pair.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Laugh out loud fluff
This is not the usual strong writing from Ms. Metzger but if you want something quick and fun to read - this would be it. This is pure fluff and wonderfully hilarious ... thus the four stars. This is not a book to be read somewhere quiet; too many great laughs.
The hero - Ace, who is an Earl - is a rather disappointing character. He seems to think running away from his problems is the way to solve them ... though to be fair, I too might run away if I had three people claiming (at the ... Read More
Rating:  - Had very High expectations
After reading other books by Ms Metzger like "The Duel" I was absolutely confident that I would immediately fall in love with this book but I was utterly disappointed.

Rating:  - Clever, charming, sweet, dear, whimsical....
I'll admit it: I'm a huge fan of Barbara Metzger.
She probably is the finest author of Regency romances alive today.
Her stories are gentle but very clever, clearly requiring a great deal of research on her part. She is whimsical, she is subtle and she is witty.
ACE OF HEARTS is Metzger at her best.
This romance has everything a reader could want, and more: A hero who is so hero-like that half the women he meets are trying to marry him...a dog who ... Read More
Rating: - Fun and Funny
It is a pleasure to read a quality written novel where you laugh out loud and enjoy the characters relationship throughout.
In ACE of Hearts you don't have the constant bickering between hero and heroine. Of course there are obstacles, but it is an entertaining ride to the romantic feelings shared by each.
It's refreshing to not have to deal with bickering to the end where they finally get together. I recommend this book and it's follow up in the series, Jack of Clubs.
