A Daring Deception (A Zebra Regency Romance)

Rating:
Summary: One of her best!
Review: This is one of the older Zebra books and thus it's longer than the ones now- which is a very good thing. A Daring Deception lacks the somewhat slapstick humor Holbrook's later books have, and it's all the better for it. The plot is excellent. Two siblings, Julia and Armand, are hiding in England. Their father has been set up as a traitor and is being hunted down to be killed as are his two children. Fortunately, he's trained them well...

They eventally assume different and extremely amusing disguises and enter London Society. Of course there's plenty of romance for everyone- father, son, and daughter (I like the father's the best even if it does get the least time). There is also adventure, excitement, and that beautiful thing- plot.

It goes on my shelf of favorite regencies. Give it a try- it's worth it.

Summary: This Regency has everything!
Review: Wit, humor, suspense, sweet romance...this book has it all. I have read six Cindy Holbrook Regencies. Lady Megan's Masquerade and The Country Gentleman were wonderful. Some of the others were not as well written. A Daring Deception was my favorite. It had several subplots which kept me turning the pages. I was surprised to pick up a short Regency romance and find that it was such a complete and satisfying book.
