A Perfect Plan

Oh wow, this was such a great book to read! I didn't realize it ended in a cliffhanger, though, so now I'm looking forward to the next book coming out. Miss Samantha Hastings is quite the character and I just loved her!! She refuses to conform to society's strict rules and loves nothing better than to walk around barefoot, swear to her heart's content and live in the country where there are no ball or parties to attend. She ends up going to stay with her sister in law after her brother's death and is told she needs to have her first season and attend all these balls and parties that she so detests. Lord Benjamin Westwood finds himself Samantha's guardian after promising her brother that he would make sure she married well. He figures it will be a quick job but once he sets eyes on her, he wants her all to himself! He's an experienced rake and she's an innocent but sparks fly when they are together and I just loved their interactions with each other, some humorous, others steamy as heck!!! When Samantha's brother suddenly reappears, not dead after all, it's discovered that there's a murderer out to get him and his family! This author weaves her story quite well and I had a hard time putting the book down. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I don't normally do historical romances but when I saw Alyssa Drake was putting one out I decided to give it a try and I am really glad that I did. I really liked the characters and the fact that the book contained a lot of mystery and danger. It was steamy and kept me entertained with the story line. I really wish that I knew that it ended in a cliff-hanger. I guess now I will have to keep my eye out for the second book. A really interesting historical novel.

This starts with Mr Hastings being murdered over something he has hidden. You do not find our until later what was hidden and who the murderer is. During the story you meet Samantha Hastings, I have to admit I really like her. She is eventually engaged to Lord Benjamin Westwood. They’re romance has a lot of humour throughout and they are perfect for each other. Throw in a few surprises, a mystery and some creepy characters and you have a good book that was easy to read and enjoy.
