The Gentleman's Deception by Karen Tuft, Blog Tour & Giveaway
Book Summary:
Renowned actress Ruby Chadwick, The Darling of Drury Lane, has long planned and prepared for her final performance. With exceptional beauty comes the unwanted attention of men, and after years of fending off odious suitors, Ruby is ready to leave it all behind in favor of a quiet life. The first step is to reclaim a piece of her past: her true identity as Lavinia Fernley. But leaving town unnoticed proves impossible, and in one desperate moment, she embarks on the greatest act of her life when she throws herself into the arms of a stranger to avoid recognition.
Lucas Jennings is shocked to find the stunning redhead in his arms, but something moves him to play along with her ruse when she calls him her husband. This charade marks the start of an unpredictable journey as he escorts the lovely Lavinia and her traveling companions to Primrose Farm, far from the glaring lights of London. Soon, the tables are turned when Lucas introduces Lavinia to his family—as his fiancĂ©e. Before long, their mutual deception begins to feel all too real. But when the truth of her past is revealed, will Lavinia’s dream of a happy ending slip through her fingers?
My Review:
How do I love this book? Let me count the ways! Ruby Chadwick is an amazing and highly sought after actress and her character in the book is bold and brave, and makes you want to get to know her better. Then we have the dashing and handsome Lucas Jennings, he is so loyal and honorable, who wouldn't swoon just at the sight of him? *sigh* The pace of the story is perfect, not too fast and not too slow. I found myself thinking about the story when I was working and couldn't pick it up to read it! Honestly this is one of the most unique storylines I have read for a regency novel, I truly enjoyed every step of the journey!
Happy Reading!!!
