Yeah, yeah you know the drill: Another serious international novel means another frothy historical romance. Here it is. Cute as it was, it made me want to go find another book by Katie MacAlister. I don't know, it just seemed like it could have been better? Of course, it was extremely amusing that the dashing gentleman is named Sebastian.
How she would love to have brilliant color like that around Trembledown!
"What lovely shrubs!" she said, almost against her will.
She caught the Marquess looking at her -- no doubt awaiting for more offerings of praise for her. She sent him a tight smile and turned her gaze back to the sea, feeling rather foolish for her outburst. Before she settled at Trembledown, she never would have taken notice of a man's shrubbery.
Ah, but that's love. It makes us do things we wouldn't normally do:
But I have tried everything. I have flirted and wooed as I never have before. I brought her hams.

Entertaining
Humor & romance made the story flow well. Annoying that the review requires so many words. Word, word, word, word

2.5 stars rounds up to 3. Disliked the two main characters but liked the author's voice otherwise, so I'm torn. There were some great lines (see my reading activity of evidence of this), but ultimately I couldn't overcome my annoyance with Violet and distaste for Sebastian's actions. Which is a pity, because I love a good secret identity plot.
