Disappointing,
By E. Kay "eclectic6" (Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lady In Disguise (Paperback)
I should start off by saying that I have read and enjoyed most of Amanda McCabe's previous novels. I am surprised to see myself giving a 2-star rating to this 5-star author.Lady Emma Weston, neice of a Russian Count and Countess, has lived in Russia for most of her life. She travels to England with her aunt and uncle, expecting it to be exciting, only to find that it is anything but. Emma has very little patience for etiquette and Society. Hoping to find the adventure she came for, Emma dresses as a maid and sneaks into the streets of London. While there, she is rescued by a man named Jack Howard, who is dressed as a tradesman. He says he is a secretary--and she doesn't remember meeting him the previous night. Jack, who is actually Viscount St. Albans, is intrigued by the dark-haired beauty who claims to be a Russian maid (he knows the truth about her identity). Jack decides to play along with her ruse. Together, they spend one magical night on the streets of London. Emma is afraid she'll never see Jack again. Of course, they DO meet up again... about 1/3 of the way through the novel. This interesting beginning is followed by a grueling middle and end. "Lady in Disguise" lacked the mysticism of Amanda McCabe's previous novels. The characters were (in my opinion) rather dull. I became irritated by the heroine's naivete and impulsiveness. We were introduced to a mere skeleton of a villain, who barely made an appearance in this overlong novel. The ending was awkward and rushed. Fortunately, the novel is well-written and easy to read... if you can commit to the 278 bland pages (178, if you exclude the good beginning).

Delightfully sweet,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady In Disguise (Paperback)
I enjoyed Lady in Disguise. It features a heroine who knows her duty and will do it, but she just wants one taste of life's excitement that she sees occurring outside her window. When she slips out for that one day, of course she gets a whole lot more than she bargained for!I liked how the relationship between the hero and the heroine developed so believably. Her "one perfect day" was so beautiful, it made my heart ache with happiness. It recalled the perfect days in my own life--although I never slipped out in a disguise. Still, if you are looking for a delightfully sweet read, this is the one for you.

from Romantic Times magazine,
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady In Disguise (Paperback)
Lady Emma Weston has not been to England since she was 6, but now the Tsar's visit to her birthplace offers her a chance to go home again. As members of this delegation, Emma's aunt and uncle are very conscious of the need for decorum with their young charge, but Emma yearns for freedom. She impulsively decides to masquerade as a servant to see the fireworks exhibit and is rescued from a scoundrel by "Jack", who recognizes the lovely Lady Emma. Jack, the Viscount St. Albans, is one of England's finest intelligence officers, and it occurs to him that Lady Emma may, in fact, be a spy and not the delightful innocent she appears. He vows to discover the truth about the LADY IN DISGUISE, and discovers along the way that he loves her dearly. Amanda McCabe spins another engrossing tale for her devoted fans. Readers will sympathize with her spunky heroine, who just wants a taste of freedom, and her hero will melt hearts as he treads the fine line between deceit and delight.
