Review: Oddly Original
Rating: 3 out of 5

The book's description sets up the premise of the story well.I liked Josephine from the minute she kicked Lord Penny out of her bed at sunrise.  Josephine started off as a witty and independent character that made me smile and even laugh and grimace. Her unbridled candor was amusing.I fell in love with Lord Gates the moment he shot Lord Penny in the leg.  The author kept me captivated with trickery of her supporting characters and the humorous conversations and correspondence.I was ready for an exciting adventure.Unfortunately, the minute everyone leaves London for the country, things fall apart from there.  While the story isn't quite predictable, it isn't solidly plausible either.  The author twisted some unexpected actions into the plot that were disappointing.  It is definitely original (even a little odd).  The epilogue sets up the next story in the series easily but I'm not sure that I will attend that gathering.
