It was too fluffy, the writing was a little stilted, and the dialogue was too modern for the time-frame depicted, which in itself is vaguely done. At times the language makes me think it's medieval (too flowery), but the interactions of the characters make me think something more akin to regency. The cross-dressing theme is interesting and I would have loved to have seen this idea in the hands of a more skilled author, but here it was just a little too much like a gimmick. It's something akin to a Barbara Cartland novel, only the Prince doesn't fall in love with the shy, virginal, girl who's just been orphaned - he falls for her very non-virginal brother.

On the run from vengeful moneylenders, David disguises himself as a maiden to make his escape. He doesn't expect his alter-ego, Mary, to attract the interest of a handsome wandering minstrel that comes to his aid. But the charming Alexander is the embodiment of gallantry and Mary is not immune. Nor is David. Despite his attempts to remain aloof, David finds himself falling for Alexander. And Alexander is smitten, but with Mary. But Alexander has a secret of his own, a secret that could toll the death knell for their innocent romance. When they each learn the truth, can they overcome the daunting obstacles in their way? No library descriptions found. |
