About the book:
Miss Mary Whitsun is far too intelligent to fall for the rakish charms of a handsome aristocrat. But when the gentleman in question approaches her in a bookshop, mistaking her for his fiancée, Lady Johanna Albright, the flirtatious encounter only raises more questions. Could Mary, a servant raised in a St Giles orphanage, actually be Lady Joanna's long-lost twin sister? If so, Mary has been betrothed since birth—to the rakishly handsome artistocrat himself.
Henry Collins, Viscount Blackwell, is far too intrigued by Mary to let her go so easily. He's drawn to her sharp mind, indomitable spirit, and the fiery way in which she dismisses him—ladies simply don't dismiss Lord Blackwell. But as Mary makes her first hesitant steps into society, she can't help but wonder if she truly has a place in Henry's world—or in his heart.
My Thoughts:
I was pleased one of the Mary’s from the Home for
Unfortunate Infants and Foundling Children got her own romance!
Mary Whitsun may have grown up in an orphanage, but she didn’t
grow up without love thanks to Lady Caire and all the others running the
home. But still, the possibility of
being a lady, and having a family sounds too good to be true, yet that’s what
has happened to Mary. Out on a day off
she runs into the impossibly handsome Lord Henry Blackwell, and her life
forever changes.
While out shopping Lord Henry Blackwell mistakes Mary for
Lady Joanna the daughter of the Earl of Angrove, but quickly realizes he’s
mistaken. This woman has spunk and life,
and stirs up desires in him that Joanna never has. Henry thinks he must have discovered the lost
Angrove twin, the twin who was to be his wife.
Mary may have been hesitant at first, but as she got to know
Henry and realized he wasn’t just a pretty, spoiled aristocrat, her
reservations melted. Heat and desire
spark between them every time they’re close!
Henry was lovely, so I knew Mary couldn’t help but fall for him.
There’s a little mystery and danger as someone is either out
to kill Henry or Mary. They’re not sure of the intended target, but when it was
all revealed I felt bad for Henry and Mary.
