The Magnificent Masquerade (Regency Romance)

Summary: Most entertaining . I don't want the story to end so soon.
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this story of a mischievous and witty little imp of a school girl who was such a troublemaker and pain in the neck that her father decided to marry her off to the equally feisty brother of the Earl of Edgerton. It was arranged that Kitty Birkinshaw was to spend a fortnight at the Earl's estate to enable the young couple to get to know each other. The ever inventive Kitty switched place with her abigail in a scheme to get out of this arranged marriage. However, Kitty, used to the position of giving command, was too spirited and unruly to be a totally submissive servant. Her sharp tongue and impertinence drew the attention of the Earl and later he deduced from her personality and the scrapes she got herself into that she must be Birkinshaw's wild,trouble-making daughter in disguise.He was besotted but repressed the feeling and Ketty was also in love with the Earl. This brazen, saucy little girl, knowing that the Earl would never offer for a servant girl, had the nerve to offer to be his mistress. The story is hilarious and titillating and of course ended happily.I love the story. I love the characters -- the heroine is so cute and endearing and the hero equally appealling. I wish the story were longer with more escapades by the feisty heroine.Don't miss this
