She is definitely the Queen of Regency Romance as far as I'm concerned - I love the wit and humor in her books.

[Sandra]

Me too, she was one of the first authors I started collecting back in the 70's. I think I have 47 or so of hers, and they get a re-read every so often still.

This might be a question you all already know the answer to - but being new, I'm not sure.
For a book to start with "J for June"...if the title starts with "The" (like "The Jury"), does that work? or does the T override the J?
