A lady in disguise.... A rogue out for revenge.... What better way to escape an abusive fiancé and a tyrannical mother than by masquerading as the male secretary to the most infamous scientist in the land? Davina Benwick can’t think of a single one. But pretending to be a man is hard work, especially around her employer. He’s as charming as he is eccentric, and Davina can’t help but fall for him.

The plot is well-conceived, but the characters are so nicely done. I will probably listen to this again. Maggie Fenton, you are a good novelist!

I enjoy Goutet’s writing. The plots gallop along and the characters are well drawn. What I really disliked was the person who narrated. Fake English accent full of mispronunciations. Ugh.

I really love historical fiction that increases my knowledge of a portion of history. This book has a lot of interesting details about the Georgian period medical practices. I cringed in a couple of places, but I survived. What a well crafted tale. It gallops right along. Great new author!!!

Story
Nowadays the Marquess of Hastings would probably be described as having Asperger's. He's good-looking and rich, but his lack of social skills make it hard for him to find a much-needed wife. He scandalizes the ton by putting an advertisement in the newspaper describing the type of spouse he requires and the marriage of convenience he envisages. Amazingly, he finds a suitable candidate. Elisabeth is an impoverished gentlewoman with literary aspirations. But can this oddly-assorted pair possibly coexist, let alone find happiness?
