Sweet, Pleasant Bit of Fluff - 4.5 Stars

Book Description LOVE'S MISCHIEVOUS MIX-UP... Poor, plain Emily Vane! Her spoiled step-sister Elyza got the beauty in the family and all the beaux. Now she had manipulated Emily into secretly exchanging costumes with her at a masked soiree so she could slip away unnoticed to a forbidden rendezvous, while wallflower Emily dreamed of being Elyza, the bell of the ball. It was so naughty a plan for such a nice girl ... as was flirting with Charles Trevor. Emily hadn't meant to encourage the handsome suitor. Or to kiss him. Certainly, she never intended to become engaged. But Charles had long been smitten by the "beautiful" Vane sister. And now, alas, quite by accident, he had proposed to the plain one! Honor-bound, Emily's groom was headed the altar like a man condemned. Should she set him free? Or could she devise a most ingenious scheme to capture his heart before their June wedding day ... and make the wrong bride the right choice after all?! ***The author adds to the storyline by allowing the handsome rake to see who of the two sisters is the "real" diamond. Who will get the beautiful Vane sister in the end with so many suitors vying for Eliza's hand? Having a handsome Earl (who is a notorious rake) and a confused future Viscount thrown into the confusion the real question is who -- if anyone -- will appreciate and marry poor, plain Emily? This quick read is a light pleasant bit of fluff that will suit anyone looking for a story where a plain, shy, sweet heroine gets the handsome hero. This is not for anyone looking for a complex, drawn-out, or spicy story; but is a nice, relaxing, pleasant read.
