It would have been a four star read if Hannah had not been so thick-headed until the end. She had proof time and again that Ross was a kind-hearted man, yet she continued to believe that he could still be a cad and she deceived him until the end. If you decide to read this story, you will see that Hannah not only witnesses his kindness, but is told by numerous people, yet she continues to lie and scheme. Badly done Hannah, badly done.
Hannah aside, this was a good story and the writing was engaging. This is the third novel I have read by Heath, and I look forward to reading more of her works.

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book. I think the hero is fascinating, and it was interesting to watch the heroine fall in love with him in spite of herself. She was a bit foolish, but that was necessary for the narrative. The plot is different than your typical historical, as the heroine pretends to be a housekeeper to get revenge on the hero. It was a quick read, and I definitely recommend it.

I wonder if there was a sale on purple waistcoats or if they're reusing them for this author's covers.
Anywho, this book had its moments, but the steam ran out about two thirds of the way through. I liked the setup and the initial tension between the characters. But the heroine went on believing every bad thing about the hero, even though she herself witnessed his saintly behaviour day in and day out. It's especially galling since she of all people should know what it's like to be tainted with lies and rumours that are untrue.
But the writing was good. I like this author.
