I really enjoyed this book so much it was hard to put down. As I read the story, I laughed at the shenanigans of Lady Miranda Hawthorne. She was brought up to be a perfect lady at all times. Her mother would say, "would a lady act like that, or would a lady say that?" It was always a reminder that Miranda was being observed by others and always needed to be prim and proper. Miranda has always thought of herself as the plain one next to her beautiful sister. She takes to writing letters to her brother's friend Marsh. She pours out her heart to him, but never intends to actually mail them.
Griffith has acquired a new valet named Marlow, but seems to be a bit out of place. He is not the typical valet and secretly is there as a spy. What does he think is going on in the household? Is it something that could damage a country? As a letter that Miranda has written to Marsh gets mailed by accident, she fears that she will be laughed at. As Marlow and Miranda start to develop a friendship, the laughs and adventure really take off. They get into some pretty tight spots and it is impossible at times not to snicker at their impossible journey.
The book has mystery and great characters that are entertaining and intriguing. Will Miranda ever meet the man she writes letters to? Does Marlow's secret identity get revealed? What secrets are being shared by members in the household? Does Miranda find true love, or will she be destined to be a spinster?
The book is light and refreshing and the author has a great sense of humor thst she brings to the story with ease. The story is rich in characters that grab your attention as you read about secrets, mysteries and romance in this delightful adventure that will keep you glued to the pages.
I received a copy of this book from The BookClub Network for an honest review.
