An Easter Disguise

THIS BOOK WAS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST AND MOST ROMANTIC REGENCIES I HAVE EVER READ. IT IS DEFINATELY A REREAD. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANY REGENCY ROMANCE FAN.

Harriet Haversham is the plain eldest daughter of a country vicar. At twenty-four, she is quite on the shelf. That has never troubled her a great deal...until now...When Harriet meets the handsome Lord Weston in the forest, she realizes that he is far out of her reach, but she cannot quite forget him. She finds herself in the suds when Lord Weston invites her parents to a dinner party. Her mother and father have secretly gone after their middle daughter who has eloped with one of Lord Weston's grooms. If Lord Weston discovers the truth, he may dismiss Harry's father like he did the last vicar...for unseemly behavior. Harry's youngest sister, Augusta, convinces Harry that they must attend the dinner party to avoid suspician. But they cannot attend unescorted, so Augusta talks Harry into dressing up like their father. The result is a hilarious dinner party that caused me to laugh out loud and a tangle of deceit that may cause Harry to lose the man of her dreams to a beautiful rival. It is very funny and romantic and the heroine is endearing and easy to relate to. Try it! You just might love it as much as I do.

You'll fall in love and laugh with the two main characters of this enchanting tale of deceit and and romance. I loved the part where there are male-points-of-view discussions in addition to the usual girls' talk (men do talk and talk, too, you know). That last part, the egg race, made me wonder a bit if the male lead had given up but that's one of the reasons why this book is a joy to read. I look forward to more by this author!
