Rating: 4 out of 5

I enjoyed this book and honestly, I am not a huge historical fan. It was a very quick read and I found myself pulled into the story immediately. The writing was crisp, concise and intriguing. As for the plot, I was genuinely surprised with the twists and turns of the plot. The mystery was well preserved and the romance was steamy.I loved the heroine, Alexandra Lockwood, and her motivation. After being falsely accused of stealing from her employer and witnessing a stabbing, she goes into hiding as a stable boy. The hero, Captain Quentin Drake has a fiery personality and in my opinion, teeters on obsessive, which is why I gave the book a four stars. I understand the alpha male, but he's just a "little" too alpha to be a hero that I would drool over. Ally, is a great heroine that I could identify and really root for.I love gender-bender plots, but they are often hard to pull off as believable and must be unfolded properly, and it was done very well in this novella. I would recommend this novella if you like mystery, historical, romance and a fun gender-bender plot.*** Received this novella free from publisher for unbiased review ***
