Jen's Review: "Secrets of a Proper Lady" by Victoria Alexander

Cordelia's father decrees that she is to marry a wealthy American, Daniel, but Cordelia wants to chose her own husband. But she can't ignore her father, so she decides to learn more about her intended by pretending to be her own companion.

Daniel isn't looking to get married, but when a pretty green-eyed girl approaches him thinking that he is his secretary and begins asking questions about Daniel, he's intrigued and plays along. But neither of them expected attraction and can't find a way out of the masquerade.

Secrets of a Proper Lady (Last Man Standing, Book 3) is part of a series, but easily stands alone. I've enjoyed this series and this book was no exception. The characters were fun and likeable. The plot was stretching it a little, but still plausible. The story was well written and focuses more on the romance not not the physical act of love, which seems to be becoming more rare in mainstream romance novels... and it was refreshing.
