A rogue with a silver tongue, a spinster with an iron heart, and the doorstep baby that brings them together.

Ambrose Ashbrook spends his life hiding. Even his family sees nothing but the roguish façade he hides behind. But when he finds an abandoned infant, all pretense is upended with one look at her dimpled smile. Knowing his sister is better equipped to help the child, Ambrose climbs aboard a carriage bound for the country.

It’s only a day’s journey. An easy distance. Caring for a baby cannot be that difficult…

Mary Hayward despises flirts. One broke her heart, and she won’t allow it to happen again, so being trapped in a public coach with a chatty charmer is the last thing she wants. But when it’s clear the gentleman is struggling to care for his young charge, Mary has no choice but to lend a hand.

If only he would be quiet! A gentleman like him cannot possibly be interested in a plain spinster like herself… Could he?

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born and raised in Anchorage, M.A. Nichols is a lifelong Alaskan with a love of the outdoors. As a child, she despised reading but through the love and persistence of her mother was taught the error of her ways and has had a deep, abiding relationship with it ever since.

She graduated with a bachelor's degree in landscape management from Brigham Young University and a master's in landscape architecture from Utah State University, neither of which has anything to do with why she became a writer but is a fun little tidbit nonetheless. And no, she doesn't have any idea what type of plant you should put in that shady spot out by your deck. She's not that kind of landscape architect. Stop asking.

5.0 out of 5 stars (Nearly) Soeechless:I love this book!
Reviewed in Canada on July 16, 2021

Several parts of this book were absolutely heartbreaking.I really felt for Ashbrook, dotty and Mary. They were all sad and lonely souls that needed each other.Their meeting was clearly orchestrated by fate herself. I loved every moment of this book. From the slow build up of them being friends to th the bickering in-between was also hilariously entertaining. The rising chemistry of them becoming more had me on the edge of my seat. This one will have you wanting to reread.

Loved this book. It was heartwarming but at times also heartbreaking. The emotional content was profound and allowed the reader to feel the joy and pain of the characters. The main characters were well defined and likeable. The dialogue was rich and humorous. It was a thoroughly enjoyable read. The only negative was the fact that the ending seemed rushed and hurried. There should have been a smoother and more detailed ending so that the reader knows how she is received by her beloved’s family, experiences the wedding, finds out how the sister fares, etc. We are left pretty up in the air.

Great little love story about two people who are so much more than they seem. They find who they are only once they find one another.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed…
Reviewed in Canada on December 31, 2021
These poor lead characters were maligned from start to finish. Would have liked to see them triumph socially as well as have the ‘villains’ exposed for their hypocritical, malicious behaviour.
The epilogue should have been better and redeemed the lead couple in the eyes of the community.

'The Shameless Flirt' is the first book I read by M.A. Nichols. It was free, but I have gladly bought every other book since. I don't know how she does it, but Nichols' characters come to life so quickly and with such depth that I am hooked immediately. I laughed and cried with Ambrose and Mary not only the first time I read the book, but when I have subsequently read the book as well. Their strengths and insecurities made me reflect on myself. Though the exterior beauty is so often the focus of regency novels, this story is truly about the incredible and priceless beauty inside the characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deeply moving, excellent book!

Having run out of Regency novels and not wanting to reread an old one, I gave this to me unkown author a chance. I haven't regretted it at all. This book contains a deeply moving, very well written story that I read in one go.
A sensitive but plain girl is treated as a drudge by her selfish parents and her lovely and beautiful sister who is doted upon and cherished. They mask it by telling her how very much valued her work in the household is as Mary is better than any housekeeper. Nevertheless, the slights she has to endure both by her family and other members of their neighbourhood are endless. To survive them she has built walls around herself the size of a fortress, acting prickly as soon as anyone comes an in too close.
Ambrose, handsome, charming and a rogue uses exactly these qualities to hide his own weaknesses. To watch those two get to know each other and to discover the person hidden behind their respective armour was a high treat and deeply moving. I found the end a bit drastic and would have wished for more slow motion, but that is literary freedom. Still: a highly recommended book!

If life doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger and if the gods smile on you your soulmate will find you.
This story is not pretty, but it is absolutely stunning in its carefully constructed characters. I will read more by this author.
