Fall romance round-up

Special to Tribune Newspapers
“No Proper Lady” by Isabel Cooper
Sent into the past to England in 1888, Joan has one goal: find and kill Alexander Reynell. If Joan doesn't succeed, Reynell will use his book of dark magic to call forth demons that will ultimately destroy the world. The first human Joan encounters upon arriving is Simon Grenville, who has his own score to settle with Alexander and is more than willing to help Joan adapt by teaching her how to be a proper lady. While Grenville wants Joan to succeed in her mission, he never expected the price of helping her would be so high: saying goodbye to the woman with whom he has fallen in love. Cooper's inventive plot and tart wit blend together to create a magical romance. (Sourcebooks Casablanca. $6.99)
