louvejita 's review for:
To Have and to Hoax
by Martha Waters
During her first season, Lady Violet Grey met and was caught up in a whirlwind romance with Lord James Audley. A true love match, they were hastily married, but after a year of wedded bliss, they had one fight that brought their relationship to an apparent halt.
Four years later, they barely speak to each other and, after what could be construed as a simple misunderstanding for other people, they’ll embark on a game of deceit and manipulation that will either bear a winner or kill them both.
Unconventional as she is, Violet won’t take her husband’s indifference without a putting up a proverbial fight and the very proper James will not allow his wife to manipulate him further. With the complicity of their extremely meddling friends, these two will also involve an actor and other people in the play of their discombobulated relationship just to get on each other’s nerves.
As soon as I read the blurb I knew I had to read this story. I Love Lucy meets War of the Roses in this fun and romantic tale. I found myself laughing out loud more times that I expected while I fell in love with the stubborn couple.
The writing was fluent and extremely creative, though I found the book a tad long for my taste. Still, it was a witty and charming read about two people in love who fight for their relationship in the most unconventional way.
