A Stage for Harriet by Mary-Celeste Ricks, New Release Book Review

By Books Are Sanity!!! -


Book Summary:

When farmer's daughter Harriet Shore flees her small seaside town to accept a position as a governess in London, attending lavish balls and parties is the last thing on her mind. She long ago gave up her childish notion of acting, but when the Duchess of Dorset notices Harriet's uncanny resemblance to her own daughter, Virginia, the duchess offers Harriet the role of a lifetime.Befriending and impersonating Virginia is easy enough at first, but Harriet's double life quickly becomes complicated. When her childhood sweetheart, Stephan Grimsby, arrives on the scene, along with some unwanted suitors, the entire charade threatens to unravel.If Harriet maintains the illusion and pleases the duchess, her dreamed-of happy ending would be within reach, but her new friend Virginia might suffer a terrible fate.

 My Review:

First of all this cover is drop dead gorgeous! And the story lives up to the amazing cover! I fell right into Harriet’s world and never wanted to come back. From her beautiful personality to her willingness to try a crazy scheme, she made for one of the best main characters! Her story was an exciting roller coaster ride and I loved each dip, turn, and corkscrew that it took me on. If you like regency romance then you will absolutely adore A Stage for Harriet! I received a copy of this book for free; all thoughts and opinions are my own.


Happy Reading!!!

You can pick up your own copy via Amazon.
