Back Cover: Seventeen-year-old
Lady Alexandra Stafford doesn’t fit into the world of Regency London – she’s
strong-willed, sharp-tongued, and she absolutely loathes dress fittings.
Unfortunately, her mother has been waiting for years for Alex to be old enough
to take part in the social whirlwind of a London
season so she can be married off to someone safe, respectable, wealthy, and
almost certainly boring. But Alex is much more interested in adventure than
romance. Between sumptuous balls, lavish dinner parties, and country weekends,
Alex, along with her two best friends, Ella and Vivi, manages to get entangled
in her biggest scrape yet. When the Earl of Blackmoor is killed in a puzzling
accident, Alex decides to help his son, the brooding and devilishly handsome
Gavin, uncover the truth. It’s a mystery brimming with espionage, murder, and
suspicion. As she and Gavin grow closer, will Alex’s heart be stolen in the
process? Romance and danger fill the air, as this year’s season begins!
I quite enjoyed this story as it
was set in London during Jane Austen’s time. I like all the old world charm
that this has, balls and dinner parties. As well as fact that these girls are
all ones that have their own opinion and show that there is more to them then
just a pretty face. Alex and her friends are great characters who almost seem
smarter than the male counterparts at times. Gavin is dashing as well as a bit
of a rouge, falling for his best friends little sister. But the conversations
between Gavin and Alex are brilliant. I love their interactions together. I
highly enjoyed this book and look forward to any more books by Sara MacLean.
