Certain that a claim to her family fortune is fraudulent, a young lady goes undercover, disguised as a courtesan and wins the attentions of an irresistible earl into the bargain.
Far from perfect, the regency atmosphere lacks depth, the characters lack depth, the plot is a simple formulae that moves mechanically forward. But this love story will fadge. We realy believe that they both care, if only there were a bit more substance to the whole.
very interesting story line.

I liked the heroine Miss Cassandra Stanholte, she is independent, strong willed and stubborn. The Hero, Lord Mumford also has these last two traits, which makes for many good scenes where they both argue and deny their feelings for each other. Luke (Lord Mumford) constantly insinuates himself into Cassies life, feeling that if he doesn't stay close and protect her; that her impetuous ways will land her in great danger, and of course they do, (how else could we have such an interesting story?) You must read Lord Mumford's Minx and find out just what kind of trouble Cassie gets herself into and why.One more thing: I think that Luke was the perfect name for the hero, but his last name of Mumford just did not fit, I found myself wanting to rename him. But this was the only fault I found with this book. Maybe I should not even have mentioned it; But I wonder if other readers will feel the same? just curious.
