What readers are saying:
★★★★★ "Think Miss Congeniality (which I love) meets Austenland (which I also love). I never would've put the two together, but it's a beautiful combination my friends. The writing is witty and entertaining. The characters are just right for a mystery, she delved into their lives just enough to get you invested but not too much to give away the intrigue. This led to it not being obvious who was the good guy or bad guy. Not just that, but just like a great writer, she made it hard for me to decide who I wanted to be a good guy and who I wanted to be the bad guy. She cultivated fascinating conversations, sassy comebacks and a couple twists that kept me guessing for most of the novel." - Book Confessions Blog
★★★★★ "This is a mix of a mystery, quirky romance, and great cop story. The plot was well done and interesting. The romance was unexpected for the reader as well as the heroine. This is an excellent read, check it out!" - Christine M. Pierce
★★★★★ "Clever, suspenseful, romantic. Step back in time with Ellie as she goes undercover in Regencyland--a re-creation of Jane Austen's proper romance era. I loved the contrast of that era with a modern-day detective trying to live 2 different lives simultaneously. A fun read, with just the right amount of suspense and romance!" - D
★★★★★ "I really enjoyed the characters in this story. They were all well-developed, with memorable personalities and great dialogue. I love reading period romances to escape my daily stress. Adding a modern twist and a "who dunnit" spin made it more of thrill that a distraction. I couldn't put it down and now can't wait to read the next!" - Lillian Erickson
