About this eBook

What’s a lord to do?

Benjamin, Earl of Sinclair, is living in chaos. So many of his well-trained servants are pairing up and running off to be wed that his friends begin calling him The Matchmaking Earl. Fortunately, his talented new secretary, J. Quincy, begins setting the household to rights. But imagine Sinclair’s surprise when he discovers the “J” stands for Josephine. His favorite employee is a lady in disguise!

Jo desperately needs this position, and never actually lied about her gender … though she didn’t expect Sinclair to figure out her secret so soon. If the ton finds out, the scandal could be devastating. She’s only going to stay long enough to earn sufficient money to move her ailing sister away from London. Can she succeed before word gets out and scandal brings them both down? And after working so closely with the handsome, charming Sinclair, can she leave with her heart intact … even if the earl now wants Jo as a match for himself?

Delightful. :) A pleasant read with nothing I'd consider upsetting. Good editing (which is way more than I can say for most of the books I've recently read). I'd very much suggest reading this book. First one I can recall reading of this author. Please note, that I almost never give a five star rating on anything.

I like the trope of a young woman disguised as a man, curious what an author makes of it. This starts romp-like, but settles down to a generally amusing story with the chaos in the earl's household. I liked the characters and the mischievous, knowing scheming of the family members.

Amazing book! I loved it so much! A wonderful depiction of that time period, a lovely tale, complications, scandal, and true love.
