Stuart gives you much ado with panache!
Stuart tries her hand at Much Ado and comes away with a winner! I had this book when it originally came out, but somehow lost it. Very odd for me, because everything Stuart writes goes on my Keeper Shelf. So I was very thrilled to find a used copy on Amazon. Frankly, I DO NOT understand the STUPID marketing of Stuart's Backlist. There are many powerhouse titles that are not kept in print (and fans are griping!). I really find this bizarre for a writer of her caliber. Maybe she needs to get a new agent!

This book is a delightful mix of emotions! Valerian Romney is accused of killing his father. Now would our hero do that? Well, it's an Anne Stuart book so remember there is always that intriguing possibility! LOL. Romney must flee with his brother Phelan - but in the disguise of Phelan's WIFE! Only the masquerade it off to a very rocky start as Valerian instantly feels attraction to lovely Sophie - and Sophie is getting confused flushes from the "Lady" Valerian! If that is not bad enough, his brother Phelan is getting a case for Lady Juliette. Trouble enough - not by far! Juliette is attracted to the "married" Phelan, but she is in masquerade as a boy, trying to escape a heartless abuser.

Only Stuart could have the mask, mask who's wearing the mask farce with such delight, wit, charm and sexy steaming situations! A must for Stuart fans showing once again, Historical, Fantasy or Contemporary settings she does it all!

Delightful!
This a fun and heartwarming book. As one of my favorite authors, she is always good at including every character in her plot, which makes it much more fun! The relationship between all of the characters is so rich and entertaining that it makes it hard to put this book down! With the dainty sense of humor and the chivalrous back ground, I would say this book is highly recommended!

Confusion Reigns!
Valerian Romney is wrongly accused of his father's murder and flees disguised as the wife of his older brother Phelan. In disguise he falls in love with a confused Sophie whom he must resist due to his disguise. Meanwhile, Phelan falls for Juliette, who is fleeing an abusive husband disguised as a boy. With everyone's efforts to remain disguised and yet resist the person they love, the story becomes very funny. But--there is still a killer and an abusive husband to deal with, and when the book reaches its frightening climax, the scene is the equal of any thriller you have ever read. A funny, romantic, and in the end, exciting book, well worth reading and rereading. Ms. Stuart has done it again!
