Lady with a Black Umbrella is the digital reissue of a previously published and long out-of-print novel by New York Times bestselling author Mary Balogh.
Giles Fairhaven, Viscount Kincade, does not believe his life can get much worse after his purse is stolen at an inn before he has paid his bill and when he is set upon by three ruffians in the inn yard before he can leave.
But it does grow worse when a little slip of a lady, clad only in a flannel nightgown and wielding a large black man's umbrella, comes to his rescue and puts his assailants to rout and then--after he has left--pays his reckoning at the inn, plus the money he lost the evening before in a card game with a fellow guest, plus what he owed the barmaid with whom he spent the night. The ensuing gossip is almost too much humiliation for Giles to bear.
Yet when he finds and confronts Daisy Morrison in London, far from being cowed by his displeasure, she declares with sunny good nature that if he insists upon repaying the slight favour she was able to do for him, then he can recommend a lady sponsor to her so that she may find a husband for her younger sister among the gentlemen of the ton. Inexplicably, Giles finds himself agreeing. His troubles are only just beginning…

One of her best..
By Layla Halabi
The first chapter alone will have you laughing is stitches.. The completely delightful, completely misguided Daisy is used to managing everyone and everything around her. When she sees a man accosted by thugs, she rushes to his rescue, complete with cold cream and nightgown. Her weapon of choice is nothing less than a black umbrella, and to the Viscount's shame, she actually succeeds in driving them off!
The Viscount is proud, handsome, arrogant, and completely eligible. And he's NOT happy with having a slip of a girl rescue him and embarrass him publicly. Daisy wants to set him up with her beautiful and meek sister. But somehow, she finds herself gravitating towards him herself, and to his utter disgust, he finds himself equally gravitating towards her.
This book is for keeps despite being quite short. You'll enjoy the characters and the dialogue. Mary Balogh takes a few historical licenses, but they don't affect the story in any way. Besides, you will enjoy the dialogue and the twists and turns so much; you'll probably not even notice them!

My favorite Mary Balogh novel
By Carol Mello
I bought a copy of this novel, new, a long time ago in a bookstore. Though new, I remember the book was dreadfully mangled. Pages and the cover were torn and creased. After skimming the first chapter, I bought it anyway. I am so glad. I am reviewing this to boost up its composite rating! Because it truly deserves the highest rating possible.
Daisy is delightful from page 1 to the end. Daisy is a managing but lovable spinster of 25. Those she manages do not always appreciate her efforts on their behalf and sometimes her well meant actions backfire on both herself and those she is trying to help.
For all the trouble she causes, she is a tiny thing with a huge braid of hair coiled like a crown about her head. At her home in the country, she is the queen of all she surveys. She looks younger than her age. She underrates her own beauty. Her family and neighbors know her faults but love her anyways, including her deceased papa who sold his coal mines so Daisy would not try to rescue all the miners after his death.
The novel begins with Daisy and her beloved sister Rose (whom Daisy considers so beautiful, she is wasted in the country) on the road to London for a season for Rose. They have stopped at an inn for the night. In the morning, Daisy is gazing out her window into the stableyard below and spots the handsome Giles, Viscount Kincade, waiting for his carriage. She begins to daydream about the unknown stranger (Giles) romantically rescuing her from a fire when she sees two men begin to beat him up. Then a third joins in, pinning Giles' arms to his sides. Daisy is incensed at the unfair attack. She rushes from her room, barefoot, in her nightgown, with lemon oil on her face (to fade her freckles) and a big black umbrella. She beats off Giles' assailants with the umbrella. Instead of being grateful, Giles' is embarrassed to be rescued by the odd looking madwoman with the umbrella. He beats a hasty retreat. Meanwhile, Daisy discovers that Giles had been robbed of all his money and left debts at the inn. She pays all of his debts, including a barmaid prostitute and a gambling debt.
When Giles sends money back to pay his debts, he discovers that his rescuer, named Daisy Morrison, has paid ALL his debts -- including the embarrassing ones. His brother, Reverend Arthur Fairhaven, thinks the story of Daisy shows her to be a courageous and generous woman. Giles does not agree.
When Daisy arrives in London, she discovers the relatives she meant to stay with and whom she meant to introduce Rose to the ton are out of town for an extended period. Rose wants to return home but Daisy refuses. She hopes to strike up an acquaintance at the hotel they are staying at. One day while walking with Rose in Hyde Park, Daisy espies Giles. Rose begs her to leave but Daisy waves her parasol to catch Giles attention. Rather than make a scene, Giles grimly acknowledges Daisy and asks where she is staying so her can repay her tomorrow for the debts she paid at the inn (and soundly chew her out).
Meanwhile, the mysterious gentleman at the inn who Giles had gambled with, has spread the story of Giles' rescue by Daisy (with all details) about the London gentlemen's clubs. When Giles visits his club he becomes the object of many ribald jests, much to his chagrin. Due to Giles extreme anger, his brother Arthur insists going with Giles to visit Daisy at her hotel to prevent Giles from strangling Daisy. There Arthur meets Rose.
Daisy asks Giles the favor of introducing Rose (and her) to the ton. Giles has no intention of doing so, but his brother Arthur steps in and offers their cousin, Lady Hetty Parkinson, as a sponsor for them.
This is just the first three and one half chapters and does not include the delightful and humorous conversations or thoughts of Giles and Daisy.
I do not see how one can say the end of the book does not live up to the beginning. The last page is laugh out loud funny. Daisy is a delight to the very end and the forebearing Giles has some wonderful lines too, especially the last sentence. Buy it and see if you do not agree with me!

Desperately wanted to like it more but...
By zonnebloem
After reading reviews, I truly wanted to enjoy this book more. I don't particularly like romance novels with gratuitous sex scenes or make a point of seeking out romance novels in general (have read Kleypas and Courtney Milan on occasion) but I do prefer novels where the main characters grow along with the story/with each other. While sweet and endearing, at times even hilarious, this novel provided little by way of development. The hero spent a little too much time fantasizing about how to best wring the main heroine's neck (dangerously close to Twilight territory here) and not enough time learning to appreciate her for who she was. I found their flirtations light but repetitive, almost bordering on "hit rewind then play" in terms of originality. I found myself paging through unnecessary pages and pages of these meetings between hero and heroine, trying to find the magic of the opening scene (it's hilarious), but ultimately I was unable to keep myself interested for long. I'm giving this novel 3 stars instead of 2 because the premise of it is so interesting I wonder what would've become of the story of she had attempted to rewrite it now. The first meeting between the two main characters is definitely worth reading!
Points in its favor: sweet and no distracting sex scenes; lovable heroine with legitimate virtues and faults (maybe a little too out there for historical accuracy but it's a novel); quick read for filling in some spare time.
Points against: shallow hero with little character development either within himself or the story or with his intended love interest; love between the two characters bordering on unbelievable; I was actually rooting for the heroine to fall in love with the hero's best friend... legit hoping that the author would decide midway that that storyline would be more promising or at the very least more interesting.
