    About this ebook

    The Blue Devil

    A historical meleé of masquerades, mistaken identities, chase scenes, spies, and dotty (or are they?) old ladies. Nominated for a Golden Heart Award™ by the Romance Writers of America, this is Regency romance at its best!

    Synopsis

    Hiding in Plain Sight...

    The Blue Devil is a dashing, brooding spy set to catch a traitor who uses a finishing school for young ladies as a base of operations. But he’s having trouble keeping his mind on his mission, for one of the students reminds him too much of the mysterious Titania, a fairy queen who fled after they kissed at a glittering masquerade ball.

    Kathryn St. David is pretending to be a student at the school in order to recover her dear auntie’s lost diary, which contains a scandalous secret that could ruin them both. But she’s horrified to discover that her roommate is the ward of the notorious, darkly attractive Marquis of Blackshire—who seems to be keeping secrets of his own. Will he recognize her as the fairy queen and expose her as the lady who kissed him like a strumpet in the moonlight?

      The characters are interesting, but the plot is kind of confusing....
    • 4/5
      I loved it. Funny with a little mystery thrown in. Nigel is just great.
    • 3/5
      Extreme silliness is the only way to describe this book. The story of mistaken identities is just daft esp. as he seems to be a master spy but it races alone from one crazy situation to another like an unsteady puppy and is as charming.
