A review by bananatricky
Heiress Without a Cause by Sara Ramsey
3.0
I probably liked this more because I read that some reviewers felt there was too much sex and not enough plot. I disagree.
Lady Madeleine feels firmly on the shelf, sitting with the wallflowers at each ball, wearing her spinsters cap. But she has a secret, she is secretly acting at an obscure theatre in Seven Dials for two weeks.
Ferguson is quite frankly more difficult to pigeon-hole. A decade ago he engineered a disgrace so that his father would exile him to Scotland. Now his father has died, in circumstances which are by turns glossed over and forefronted, and he has inherited the Dukedom. Hating London he has returned only to get his two youngest sisters married.
Ferguson asks the spinster Maddie to bring his sisters out. The same night he sees her acting in Seven Dials - he does not suspect until he follows her coach home ...
Forced to act for another month Maddie fears exposure and disgrace, especially when the ton flock to the theatre. In order to protect her from rakes who want to make the actress their mistress Ferguson pretends to make her his - but soon realiss he likes this new Maddie a lot.
It's fun, abit silly and sets up several other stories.
