Beatrice and Georgina must risk giving up their secrets to finally have their heart’s desire. But is the risk too great to take?
Miss Beatrice Everson has managed to marry the Earl of Sinclair, solving her family’s disastrous financial problems for good. She should be the happiest woman in London, but a less than satisfactory wedding night has Beatrice fleeing her husband and planning an affair with the dashing Mr. George Smith.
Lady Georgina Smith has a secret she must keep at all costs: she divides her time running a bluestocking salon as Gina, and carousing across London as George. Captivated by Beatrice’s wit and charm, Georgina realizes that her secret is in danger—along with her heart.
When Beatrice discovers that her wedding night has resulted in an unexpected pregnancy, she sees an opportunity to have it all by divorcing Sinclair and marrying George. However, Georgina isn’t sure that a lifetime spent as a man is staying true to herself. Beatrice and Georgina must risk giving up their secrets to finally have their heart’s desire. But is the risk too great to take?
I jumped at the chance to read this because a F/F regency romance? sign me up.
Unfortunately, this was not at all what I was expecting. I've had to force myself to read it and have made it to 25% over several days and just can't anymore. The pace is glacial. For every sentence that actually moves the plot or characterization or anything along, there are five that are just filler of excruciatingly slow movements (putting on gloves, pushing food around a plate, etc.) The characters are completely flat and I'm not interested in reading more about any of them. The plot is so far nonexistent.
This is a DNF because reading it is sloooooooooow torture and I have other better things to read.
