A Noble Masquerade

A Noble Masquerade
By Kristi Ann Hunter
Bethany House, 2015. 365 pgs. Romance

Lady Miranda Hawthorne is entering her fourth season and has pretty much given up on finding a match, especially with her vibrant younger sister debuting this year. Miranda is frustrated but her mother has trained her to be a proper lady in every way so she acts the part. She longs to be bold and carefree and she copes by writing secret letters to her brother's school friend where she pores out her innermost heart. She has never met the boy and has no intentions of ever mailing a single letter. Meanwhile, she is finding herself strangely attracted to her brother's new valet, but she knows that falling in love with a servant is out of the question. Soon the valet mails one of her letters and she is mortified to receive a letter back from the Duke.

This Regency romance had lots of twists and turns and more intrigue than most. I really loved Miranda's character. There aren't many romance books where the girl gets to punch the Duke in the face and still have everything work out. This is the first book I've ready by Kristi Ann Hunter but I will definitely by reading more of her books!
