Behind the Beard

by Yeva Wiest, Yeva Weist

Madly in lust, handsome young counselor Byron Jones hides his secret self. The object of his attraction: Lord Richard Kincade, the Queen's most sought after barrister.

With the help of two conniving old codgers, a mischievous miss, and some six-legged buggers, Byron "wigs out" to capture the heart of Lord Kincade.

In Victorian England, what do you do if you are a high-level lawyer, falling for your assistant? Why, of course getting a beard, so that you can still maintain your reputation! But, what if the beard is so high maintenance that the cost of having her is higher than the benefit? Especially since the man you're eyeing still doesn't know your intention... Well, leave it to the vallet, the butler, and the maid! They know what you want. (In fact, sometimes, they provide the service themselves!) Oh, perhaps your best friend (as well as ex lover) would help too!

This is a fun, comedic story that relies on an interesting plot rather than witty dialogues. The building of the climax is good, but unfortunately once the person in question know about the plot, it turns to be sort of anticlimax.

Still, a really nice reading.

Oh, would'nt it be nice to have a cover that reflects the era of the story?
