This book was an absolute delightful surprise! I don't think I've read a historical romance quite like this before. What really made it for me was the heroine, and how absolutely unique she was to other book heroines.
To start, she finds herself in quite the predicament as she gets tricked into being in a compromising position. And this lady, who comes from an upstanding family, instead of running away, capitalizes on it. And that's all I'll say about that.

And maybe Georgiana surprised me because I hadn't read the other book(s) in this series. I got the feeling she was in those, at least a little bit. Don't concern yourself, however, with feeling like you can't read this until you've read the others. It wasn't confusing at coming into this book without the backstory of the previous couple (Georgiana's brother and sister-in-law).

I think one of the things I loved the most about this one, was the brilliant premise. Georgiana, after having an "experience" with a strange gentlemen that she didn't quite see without his mask, is just waiting to run into him again. Anxious about it because of what it could do to her reputation.

And, lo and behold, who does she run into when she travels to a house party with her--Duke of Northriding--the very man she was hoping to avoid. I loved the chemistry between these two! It was electric from the first page!

This writer is one to follow! Her characters were well-written, the story was humorous, yet engaging, and I was hooked from the prologue. This story captured me so much that I kind of went on a historical romance binge trying to chase that same feeling that this book provided.

I can't wait to read more from this author! She knows how to write some steamy and hilarious historical romance!

"This book has been on my TBR for so long because I wasn't quite sure if it would live up to the hype surrounding it.
So... to get myself out of a book slump, I decided to download it via Kindle Unlimited, and give it a go. Seriously, I've been so busy that I haven't read a book in so long.
So I picked it up and started reading it in little moments here and there.
Honestly, I could tell from the first chapter that I'd fall into this book so easily.
When I finally sat down with it and dug in, I. Couldn't. Put. It. Down."
