A Lady in Disguise – Lynsay Sands (previously released as The Reluctant Reformer)
Rating: 3.5 / 5.0
Heat: 7/10
Genre: HR, Regency, mystery, suspense
This was an OK book, but not nearly as good as others by this author. Be warned, my reasons for not loving the book include spoilers.
The h is writing a column incognito in order to support herself and her household of servants. Her brother was killed in the war (more on that later) and left her the house and a bit of money, but not enough to keep the house and all its staff. She’s in a brothel, researching a story, when she kidnapped by the H of this story and taken to his country home.
The H was in the war with her brother. In fact her brother died saving his life. He promised to look after the sister. Now he believes she’s become a prostitute and he’s going to save her from herself. The Big Misunderstanding continues for about the first 100 pages, then it’s more about the fact that someone is trying to kill her.
But here’s where it didn’t work for me. Coitus Interuptus! Not once, not twice but three times. Every time these two get jiggy, the aunt walks in on them. Bonkus on the Headus! This woman gets injured more times than a prize fighter. Tstlitis! Someone is trying to kill you! Stop going off on your own so they can try again.
As with the previous book, the author could clean up her historical accuracy with just a bit of thought and research. In this book, three young men, all first sons with titles, went off to war. One of them was a duke. At least two of them were ONLY sons. Come on! And, one of them is also a doctor. Eye roll!
