"I am so very sick and tired of books taking place in the 1800's having dialogue and using "English 2000 words" and expressions all through the book that I didn't even get interested enough to finish this book! As once before--I grew so fed up with words such as "really? You want to do this?" and "I can't understand why a Duke would give himself STRESS like this looking for a wife" AND other modern expressions being used is like a bucket of ice water being thrown on you to bring you out of hypnosis!
When I read a novel, I am "into" it--I am the characters and when modern words used only in this 21st century are used I am thrown into the "now"! This book did NOT interest me with a heroine deep into deceit and feel no compunction about it. I wish new authors would write like adults and invest some time reading about the period they are writing about! I would NOT recommend this book and will not be buy any more of this author's novels!"

- I am so very sick and tired of books taking place in the 1800's having dialogue and using "English 2000 words" and expressions all through the book that I didn't even get interested enough to finish this book! As once before--I grew so fed up with words such as "really? You want to do this?" and "I can't understand why a Duke would give himself STRESS like this looking for a wife" AND other modern expressions being used is like a bucket of ice water being thrown on you to bring you out of hypnosis!
When I read a novel, I am "into" it--I am the characters and when modern words used only in this 21st century are used I am thrown into the "now"! This book did NOT interest me with a heroine deep into deceit and feel no compunction about it. I wish new authors would write like adults and invest some time reading about the period they are writing about! I would NOT recommend this book and will not be buy any more of this author's novels! - Isabella💃💋, in defiance to her father's wishes, trades places with her maid Miss Honora, when he ends her engagement in France and ships her off to England for a new betrothal to ThomasðŸºðŸ†ðŸŒ‹, a new Duke.
Her father is a very wealthy vinter, and he sees the chance for his daughter to marry into the nobility, because the DukeðŸºðŸ†ðŸŒ‹ is broke. Thomas' father lost a huge amount of money when his ship carrying a valuable cargo sunk. The loan is due in a few months! Thomas' father dies suddenly, leaving him saddled with the debt.
The book is all about the two ladies identity switch, and how ThomasðŸºðŸ†ðŸŒ‹ and Isabella💃💋 still fall in love💘, although he thinks her just a poor lady's maid. Should he marry for 💘, or marry for the money he desperately needs?
Of course, the deceit fostered by Isabella is awful, and it's a wonder Thomas could ever forgive her. This is an adult romance.

The Opinions Expressed here are my own.
I liked the book, although the identity switch is a little hard to follow at times. - I have read several of Ms. Harding's books and enjoyed them, however this one disappoints. DECEIT the quality of being dishonest or misleading. For the first third of the book I was not enamored with Isabella. She appeared prideful, spoiled and entitled. It did not sit well with me how hard she tried to deceive Thomas only to fall into his arms at every opportunity when she was acting as the maid. Thomas being a duke, should have known better than to dally with the staff. It did not do him any credit how he disregarded and disrespected the arrangement he had to wed Isabella's faux mistress. I started skipping through the dialogue as it was becoming tedious to me. Isabella found out why Thomas agreed for the marriage. It was because her father was to pay all his debt. She became indignant. Which I found funny because she was deceiving him. She was not so innocent in the relationship either. When her malfeasance and duplicity was uncovered everything fell apart. Her heart was in grave danger. Despite this I had a hard time mustering up any sympathy for Isabella. I felt bad for Thomas. If the purpose of the author was to incite displeasure for Isabella's character, she succeeded. At about three quarters of the way into the book, it finally became interesting enough so that my full attention was on each page. When I read the epilogue, thankfully it ended with an HEA. Then when I read the extended epilogue, I did not want the story to end.
- Isabella Desmarais the Daughter of a wealthy murchant has had things her own way for to long she has decided on a husband but just as she think's she's engaged to one man her father pays of her current groom for a much better option a Duke. She's less then happy and decides to deceive her new groom the Duke by trading places with her ladies maid Honora and you guessed it things become complicated when she starts to desire her new groom and now she's pretending to be a maid.
Thomas Wilmington has just inherited a mountain of debt and people are about to come collect fromhis fathers mistakes but he dose have one thing going for him he's handsom and has a title and hes just been offered a spirited minx of a Frenchwoman by a merchant who wants to come up in the world. And when his bride arrives hes shocked shes anything but spirited now her maid she would make a lovely mistress. Passion ensues one thing leads to another they cant keep there hands to themselves he reveals why he needs a rich wife she is furious its her but he doesn't know it then everything unravels and the secrets out will Thomas forgive Isabellas for her deceitful behavior after all she's everything he want's in a wife. And can Isabella get over her hurt and fury over the Duke needing a wealth wife to save his family good name. This had plot twist and romance along with a vile man trying to control and blackmail someone. - Steamy; Thomas and Isabella definitely become lovers by the end of the story. The identity switch allows Thomas and Isabella too much time together without a chaperone. Isabella is almost too polished as a maid while Honora is too quiet as the mistress. But then Isabella mistakenly believes that she wants to break up the match even though she has had a definite break with Lucas due to her father's influence. Mr. Bolton, the valet, guesses the switch. Mr. Chalet, the dock supervisor, is found out after trying to blackmail Isabella. His blackmail is ineffectual. Isabella and Honora have already revealed the switch. Thomas is miffed. Fortunately, reconciliations are made. The estate of Thomas is saved from debt. In the epilogue a daughter is born, and Honora, the maid, also marries her beau. (Minor editing and formatting needs to be done.) The description of the places is good. The story does keep the reader in some suspense. Read something else to get a nap.
