Nice flavoring, wished it dared more
Unmasking Miss Appleby - Emily Larkin

This was cute!

 

Some over the top soap-opera bits, rosy romance (a couple of weeks a solid relationship does not make, but I'll take it on suspension of disbelief) and all, it was a nice romance and the fantasy flavor was pretty awesome (that gift makes me so envious! The possibilities!).

 

I confess I toyed with the idea that it would go further and more bravely into the possible dynamics, but it went the expected extremely straight road. It was not something I thought the author would have the balls to go with, but felt a bit like a missed opportunity. And the bit where the guy goes into a rage over having maybe fucked someone that once had been male was... I can hear protest over the times mores and law, and verisimilitude, from my shoulder devil and it still sits wrong (specially given that we have fairies, and magical gifts, duh). The part where the man was more upset about the loss of trust than anything else was really good though.

Review ~ Awesome!
Unmasking Miss Appleby - Emily Larkin

Book source ~ NetGalley

 

Charlotte Appleby is living a miserable life with her aunt and uncle. Sure she has a roof over her head and food to eat, but they treat her like crap. So when a Faerie shows up in her room on her 25th birthday and says she has to bestow a gift on her, what’s a woman to do? Pick one and get the hell out of Dodge, that’s what. Charlotte chooses the gift of metamorphosis or shape-changing. The best part is: it’s not just shape-changing, it’s life-changing for Charlotte.

 

This is one of those books that will grab your fancy and not let go until the end. Charlotte has to pick a gift and the Faerie bestowing it is not like the fairy godmother in Cinderella. She’s like the ones in Grimm Fairy Tales, she may have to bestow a gift, but she’s going to be cruel if she can get away with it. Charlotte is no dummy though and asks questions and carefully weighs her options before choosing her gift.

 

The year is 1805 and Charlotte’s options are limited. So she decides to shift into a man and apply as a secretary to a Lord from an ad she sees in the paper. She may be a poor relation now, but at one time her mother and father made sure their daughter had a well-rounded education. She’s confident she can do the job. She’s not so sure about being a man. Luckily, Lord Cosgrove takes a chance and hires her, uh, him, uh, Charlotte who is now Christopher Albin. Lord Cosgrove is having some difficulties that a mere secretary would have a hard time helping him to investigate. But Charlotte is in a unique position. She can change into any person or animal and sneak into places neither one could go. The plot is twisty, the characters are wonderful, and Charlotte’s adventures into shape-shifting are fun to witness. Add some romance to the mix (it’s complicated) and it’s the perfect storm. I had a hard time putting this book down. I couldn’t wait to see what was on the next page. Who was the one causing Cosgrove all the trouble? When would he find out about her shape shifting? What would happen when he did? The suspense builds at a steady pace until the big finale. Wonderful!

Wow! Love It!
Unmasking the Earl - Elizabeth Keysian

Unmasking The Earl is an outstanding historical romance by Elizabeth Keysian.  Ms. Keysian has again delivered a book that is a joy to read.  The characters are phenomenal and the book is well-written and a nice smooth read.  Cassandra has been in love with Julian for years.  When Julian slips away from the ball with another woman, Cassandra enlists the aid of Captain Wycherley, a rake.  Ned has been searching for his sister since she went missing after a fire.  He gets a job working for Captain Wycherley believing he has something to do with his sister's disappearance.  Cassandra and Ned's story is loaded with drama, humor, sexy bits, action and suspense.  This book hooked me on the first page and held me hostage until the end.  I enjoyed every page of Unmasking The Earl and look forward to my next book by Elizabeth Keysian.  Unmasking The Earl is book 2 of the Wayward In Wessex Series but can be read as a standalone.  This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

Quick Review
Unmasking Miss Appleby - Emily Larkin

This was a really good book.. I know not very descriptive but it captured me and sucked me in.. I am not normally a historical reader anymore but the inclusion of the Fairy Godmother in the story and the magic peaked my interest.. I kept feeling I got the plot line and story arc and then it went a direction I was not expecting... 

 

And can I say I loved the character development... the interactions between the two main characters was great.. some pretty funny one liners... 

 

Overall I enjoyed the book and I think I have found a new series and author...So yea me.. I have already bought and started reading the second in the series.. we will see.. (I have high hopes)
