A Tangled Ruse by Laura Beers

Summary

After a failed abduction attempt, Lady Rachel is sent into hiding on her uncle’s estate near the sleepy village of Rockcliffe on the shores of Scotland. As she struggles to cope with the nightmares of her past, she unwittingly stumbles into even greater danger than she left behind. And this time, Shadow isn't around to save her.

Luke Beckett, the Marquess of Downshire, was content running his stud farm in solitude, far from the scheming of the devious women of Society. That is, until his neighbor's infuriatingly contrary niece rides into his life. Hiding behind the guise of a common horse trainer, he begins to form a peculiar friendship with Lady Rachel, without the constraints of his title. However, the longer the ruse continues, the more Luke realizes there is much more at stake than just their friendship.

With the looming threat of a French invasion, Luke and Rachel must work together to stop the tangled web of treachery before it is too late. When the truth is finally revealed, will they have the strength to trust each other with their hearts, or will the fear of rejection destroy their relationship before it has a chance to begin?


My Thoughts

Once again.... I loved a Laura Beers book!  I am never disappointed in her books!  I am a major fan!

There are some books that I receive for review and I'm just not sure about how I'm going to like them.  At times I feel a bit anxious because I worry about writing unfavorable reviews.  However, with Laura Beers books, I never worry!

The first of her books that I read was Saving Shadow.  That one was extremely good and I was a fan from that point on.  There is just something about her books that keeps my attention and makes me smile!

One thing that I absolutely love about these books is ow they continue from one story to the next.  Like, Saving Shadow for example.  As you read, you learn about a few side characters.  Then, the next book in the series focuses on one of the side characters from the previous book!  And so on and so on!  I absolutely love that!

I loved (and sometimes hated) Luke and Rachel!  They were very well written characters.  I found myself annotating like crazy in this book!  There were just so many thoughts in my head while reading this and I needed to get them in the book!  The sarcasm and humor are my favorite.

In case you haven't figured it out, I loved this book!  I have already been recommending it like crazy!  Thanks again, Laura Beers, for sending it my way!
