Everytime I start writing these I miss my book club back in Idaho and curling up in my favorite chair with cocoa and delicious treats, and talking about our books! Ladies, I miss you, but I'm happy I get to share these books with more people! So curl up with me and let's talk about our wonderful Miss Burton Unmasks a Prince
If you are seeking a book with a bit of humor, danger, poetry and romance, this is most definitely for you!
You'll follow Meg an American girl finding her way through an English season, sponsored by the Duke of Southampton. With his lovely wife Princesa Serena and his brother-in-law, Prince Rodrigo of Spain there is sure to be adventure in store, as both Meg and Rodrigo struggle with one thing in common, to not be judged before they are known.
This regency style romance is bound to captivate any reader and arrest you in a way only Jennifer Moore can do!
The Finer details...
If you have read other books by Jennifer Moore then you might (as I did) enjoy seeing a few familar characters. Seeing Serena again after all she endured in the previous book (Lady Emma's Campaign) as well as the Duke of Southampton.
I'm always impressed with how she is able to write a novel in a couple hundred or less pages and not leave me feeling like, "that's it?" And feel like I've missed something, or that it cannot possibly be the end. Just the feeling of contentment is left, which to me after a book is bliss.
Her chracters are engaging and well thought through, each with flaws and strengths. I am particularly impressed with her use of classical poetry throughout the book. Honestly, anyone who can quote Lord Byron like that needs an award! "and Eden revives..." Be still my heart! Oh my, such a clean and wonderfully romantic moment. With all the poetry throughout the book I am astounded by the knowledge/research Mrs. Moore did in order to create this book.
This one I really don't want to give too much away because I know some of you are on waiting list at your library to read it, let me just say it's worth the wait. (Or if you can purchase it, do it! You'll read it more than once)
As always Happy Reading!
I think my favorite part was when Rodrigo took Meg's costume crown to use as means to help them escape and he said, "I'll replace it." She figured he was teasing that he would replace her fake crown. But I knew better. So when she found the "treasure" at the gazebo. It put a big smile on my face. :D
