Sue Green just wanted one night to be the pretty one. But a few glasses of champagne and one wild disguise later, she’s in some serious trouble. Who knew the devastatingly handsome face of Lord Holden Ellis would get in the way of her foot? And how exactly did all that high-kick dancing start in the first place? At least she blamed it all on her new persona—Suzanna. So Society’s most eligible bachelor will never find out the truth.
All Holden wants is the truth. Who was that vixen who seduced him so thoroughly, then disappeared? The only one who seems to have any answers about Suzanna is Miss Sue Green. She’s promised to help him find his mystery woman, but in truth she’s not being all that helpful. And in truth, the more time Holden spends with Sue—witty, pretty, and disarmingly honest—the more he realizes he may have found exactly what he’s been looking for all along…
My thoughts:
I do confess that most of the time this premise does annoy me. Boy meets girl, girl wears a mask, there is kissing and she disappears. When they do meet again, and talk he does not know it's her. I would think at least the voice would do it. Oh well it does bring the drama...
Sue is invisible and with the worst mother ever. Trust me, I want to strangle her mother. What a wicked old cow! I am still angry at her and I just want to see Sue walk up to her and give her the finger. Ok ok, moving on. Sue was so sweet, nice, she wanted to do things, wanted to paint, but if you have someone holding you down it's hard.
Holden is a rake. And he becomes obsessed with Suzanna after what they have shared. There is a secret in his life that I can't tell, but it does bring some danger.
When they meet again they find each other amusing..sort of. She argues with him. But he does one thing later on that made me want to kick him. Bad Holden. Still it all ended happily, of course ;)
Conclusion:
Oh and there was an intriguing character in it that I hope is in the next book.

ReplyDeleteI like the bloody feet version more if I get to choose
DeleteLOL, I just finished this book. I agree with you about the Mother, what a piece of work.
ReplyDeleteShe was all arghhhhhh
DeleteSounds like you enjoyed the story overall and I love books that introduce characters that you want to know more about and see them receive a HEA! Is this one of those series that you have to read the books in order, or can they all be read like an independent novel?
ReplyDelete*waves hi* :D
DeleteNope, oh dang I always forget that. But yes read in which order you want, it works
It so silly when you think of it
ReplyDeleteIt was the drama. Sure it was good but come on..they did stuff!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if this is going to be my cup of tea, but I'm always willing to check out more historical romances. Wonderful review!
ReplyDeleteI do love them
DeleteI love it when a book gets you all riled up! :) Hm.. maybe you need to write a short story where you get all up in that mother's face... ;)
ReplyDeleteNow that would feel awesome. I would just go up to her, flash my wedding ring and be all in her face
Deletesounds like a fun romance, and lol about that wicked old cow.
ReplyDeleteI love you new blog look!!
Thank you :D I love it too
DeleteThe mother sounds horrible! I do like a character who is fun to hate. I'm not sure I have time for this one, but I am curious to read it after your review and Kimba's.
ReplyDeleteThey are good to have around and I promise you that you would loathe this mother
DeleteThis cover... eh, seriously way too purple :)
ReplyDeleteLol, very purple, but I like purple
DeleteI saw a wonderful review about this one and I confess I"m really curious about it.
ReplyDeleteGet it so you can hate the mum too
DeleteYay! Another new HR series to try ;)
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a good historical romance! This sounds like a treat.
ReplyDeleteTrue! :D
DeleteSo it's a Cinderella story, or sounds like it. I think I would like it.
ReplyDeleteYes it is :)
DeleteIs this a Regency? The woman on the cover seems very modern. You have to wonder why they don't recognize the voice! Sounds sweet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe men are just that stupid ;)
DeleteWell let's blame it on the masquerade
uh oh! i'm sure i would have been mad at him too!! i've been curious about this author, sounds like i may give her books a try.
ReplyDeleteDo give them a go :)
DeleteAye there was this one thing closer to the end, and I was all, no you didn't say that
This sounds like something I would like.
ReplyDelete:)
DeleteThis does sound fun B, if only I was not burned out on historicals I would add it to my wishlist.
ReplyDeleteSuch a shame cos I had so many to give ya, bummer
DeleteBoys are dumb. lol if a girl wears a mask there is NO POSSIBLE way that he'll recognize her mouth, hair, or voice. C'mon. lol sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I know, so that premise always bothers me, otherwise all good
