Synopsis

After a year of grand adventures touring the classical ruins of Italy and Greece, Iphiginia Bright returned to England to discover that the real excitement was at home. It seems that her Aunt Zoe has fallen victim to a sinister blackmailer and only Iphiginia can hope to stop the culprit before he can do more harm. Her plan is inspired: Imitating history’s most legendary beauties—Cleopatra, Helen of Troy, Aphrodite—the former schoolmistress will remake herself, and descend upon London Society as the dazzling mistress of Marcus Valerius Cloud, the infamous Earl of Masters. Rumors hint that the Earl has disappeared at the blackmailer’s hands, and by posing as his unknown mistress, Iphiginia is convinced she can ferret out the villain. Overnight, Iphiginia is transformed into a vision with a host of eager admirers, including one she does not expect—the Earl of Masters himself, who strides into a shimmering ballroom one evening to coolly reclaim his "mistress." He is everything they say he is … arrogant, attractive, devastatingly seductive, and Iphiginia can’t help but be enthralled. But when Marcus agrees to play along with her charade, she doesn’t know that the determined earl has plans of his own: to tease and tempt her, until the beautiful deceiver becomes more than his mistress in name only.

3.5 For me, the perfect (not-too) sick day is one spent reading a HF romance novel complete with a swoon-worthy hero and “bluestocking” heroine.

"Oh! Iphiginia! Your phiginia is so hot and tight!" says Marcus, Earl of Whatever, tallest and richest and most desired of the whoevers. A *unique* (cough) romance hero who has dallied enough for experience (but not TOO much, and not with anyone important, and not too recently), who lives in a self-......more

I've been re-reading Amanda Quick's books, especially her earlier ones, in between new reads. Her books are perfect for pulling me out of a reading slump. I’ve noticed that her earlier works are steamier compared to her later ones. While her stories tend to follow a formula, this one is no exception......more

Goodreads review by Robin on October 18, 2014

My guilty pleasures include regency romances. I love to cuddle up on the couch and indulge in them on stormy days. I even expect a bit of cheese to be involved but this one for some reason was just a little too much on the cheese and crackers side of romance for my taste. Iphiginia, try to say th......more
