5.0 out of 5 stars Most entertaining . I don't want the story to end so soon., March 12, 1999
This review is from: The Magnificent Masquerade (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this story of a mischievous and witty little imp of a school girl who was such a troublemaker and pain in the neck that her father decided to marry her off to the equally feisty brother of the Earl of Edgerton. It was arranged that Kitty Birkinshaw was to spend a fortnight at the Earl's estate to enable the young couple to get to know each other. The ever inventive Kitty switched place with her abigail in a scheme to get out of this arranged marriage. However, Kitty, used to the position of giving command, was too spirited and unruly to be a totally submissive servant. Her sharp tongue and impertinence drew the attention of the Earl and later he deduced from her personality and the scrapes she got herself into that she must be Birkinshaw's wild,trouble-making daughter in disguise.He was besotted but repressed the feeling and Ketty was also in love with the Earl. This brazen, saucy little girl, knowing that the Earl would never offer for a servant girl, had the nerve to offer to be his mistress. The story is hilarious and titillating and of course ended happily.I love the story. I love the characters -- the heroine is so cute and endearing and the hero equally appealling. I wish the story were longer with more escapades by the feisty heroine.Don't miss this

5.0 out of 5 stars I Liked It Very Much, December 20, 2011
Summary:

When Viscount Birkinshaw sought to marry off his impertinent daughter Kitty to the Earl of Edgerton's equally spirited brother, it seemed like the perfect match. But neither of the titled matchmakers could have anticipated the consequences of their scheme. For from the beginning of Kitty's journey to meet her husband-to-be, there seemed to be some question as to which lovely young lady was the bride, and which the conspiring domestic.

As Kitty and Emily, her maid, are brought from the decorous academy run by Miss Marchmont to the sprawling elegance of Edgerton Park, it becomes necessary to keep a sharp eye out for the regal bride and the beautiful imposter..

My Opinion:

My shear impatience led me to skipping in depth descriptions just to be able to get to the dialogue since the story was that interesting. I was lucky and downloaded this for free but would have easily paid $4 and not felt bad about spending the money. Happy Reading, Enjoy

The Novel is a pleasant story, well written and with a love story that moves slowly but interesting. I recommend it. Maria Rennard
