Summary:
Lucetta Plum is an actress on the rise in New York City, but must abandon her starring role when a fan's interest turns threatening. Lucetta's widowed friend, Abigail Hart, seizes the opportunity to meddle in Lucetta's life and promptly whisks her away to safety at her eligible grandson's estate.
At first glance, Bram Haverstein appears to be a gentleman of means--albeit an eccentric one--but a mysterious career and a secret fascination with a certain actress mean there's much more to him than society knows.
While Lucetta has no interest in Abigail's matchmaking machinations, she can't ignore the strange things going on in Bram's house and the secrets he hides. As the hijinks and hilarity that Bram, Lucetta, and their friends are swept into take a more dangerous turn, can they accept who they are behind the parts they play in time to save the day?
My Thoughts:
This book was pretty good. Although it isn't my favorite, I really enjoyed it. It has a lot of humor and playfulness in it, but also some serious stuff, like when her stepfather gambles away her estate then finds out that Lucetta owns the estate and won't give it to him, so he tries to give her away for his debt. So Lucetta runs away.
It was kind of awkward when Bram would randomly propose to Lucetta when she says she's not interested in him . . .
And later in the book, the man whom her stepfather lost to kidnapped her to make her his mistress after she refused him, but she escapes.
My Rating: 3.5 stars
