I admit, being a Harlequin Mini, I didn't expect much, but this was so much fun to read! It starts out with Lord Alexander Beaumont learning that his wife (who he hasn't seen in years) writes erotica novels under the identity "Lady Loveless". Because of this, he decides to pay her a visit.

His wife, Melicent, is taking care of her ailing mother and is shocked when her husband arrives out of the blue. I can't say anymore to the plot without giving it away, but it was a lot of fun and some unexpected surprises popped up which had me laughing. I thought there was the perfect blend between plot, characterization, and sex. And to add, the sex wasn't like most of the sex scenes you see in books. The author used some great creativity in this area.

Definitely worth the price and the 5 star rating!

This story is very short (think novella), but it it's very well-written and the plot moves at a nice, quick pace. This is a great, easy read for a few hours (especially for the beach or that plane trip).

The story revolves around an estranged couple, a misunderstanding, and a cute and funny revelation at the end.

I don't really understand the negative/mediocre reviews, because I personally loved this story. I get that everyone has their own opinion, but if you're a fan of adult historical fiction, you will definitely enjoy this!

The first thing that stuck out for me in The Unmasking of Lady Loveless was the great characters. The author did a wonderful job in such a short piece of writing and I felt her talent really shone through for the genre.

With an orginal storyline and interesting twists along the way, this historcial reeled me in and kept me enchanted right to the end.

For those who rag on the length, you do realize this is a short? That's the whole point of The Undone Line. If you somehow feel ripped off, I suggest making yourself aware of that before buying.

While ths was a cute story with a nice HEA at he end, the author is clearly a novice in writing from this time period, as essentially nothing in the piece was true to the era, from the public's reaction to discovering the identity of Lady Loveless to the behavior of the secondary characters. It is a nice way to spend an afternoon (it's very short), but I would not recommend it to anyone used to anything near the historical accuracy of someone like Georgette Heyer.

Initially I thought the book was written by a novice; but I note there are several titles penned by this author. In a nutshell, the book is superficial in plot and characters, whether due to a lack of time or a lack of ideas it would have been best if Lady Loveless remained masked.
