    About this ebook

    During an era of revolution, Lady Phaedra Grantham fights for her own freedom from her tyrannical grandfather and memories of a tragic marriage. Her quest for independence is threatened by the arrival of a mysterious nobleman, Armande de LeCroix. The handsome marquis holds all of London in thrall. Even Lady Phaedra is drawn to the man, despite her growing suspicion and fear. What secret does Armande hide behind his aristocratic mask? And what danger does Phaedra face when love itself may prove to be nothing more than a masquerade?

      I love this author but this book was a miss for me! Dark, depressing, and seemed to go on forever. I skipped a bunch and at the end (spoiler alert!) decided I didn’t think their future marriage would make it because of the heroine’s constant dramatic introspection. The author also strangely switches from narrating her perspective, then his perspective in the beginning of the story... but transfers only to speaking from her perspective for the rest of the book. I personally like knowing the thoughts of both characters throughout, but that is just my preference. It also wasn’t as clean as her other books. Just disappointing because I know how amazing her writing can be.
