Dangerous Masquerade

Thank you Net Galley and publisher for an opportunity to read the ARC.  I really enjoyed this book!  It achieved the ends of a good romance - true love triumphs - taking new and different paths to arrive there.  The writing was nicely descriptive, often bringing a smile:  Here's an example early on while our heroine listened to a Sunday sermon on the dangers of lust with attention, but not necessarily full acceptance: "it meant that she was scandalous, shameless, wanton and wicked.  And relieved she had reached the end of the alphabet. ... She was surely damned.  But was she sorry?"  
The plot began with the heroine seeking out an encounter at a bacchanal on " .. strict instructions as to what to do."  And rollicked on from there, with an evil - or helpful? - cousin Geoffrey and an unexpected and delightful friend in Monty.  
I usually like more detail about the era and physical setting the characters occupy.  But in Dangerous Masquerade, I found the author's talent for using small details, including dialogue and true to life internal musings showing the mental and emotional states of her characters, to be captivating and quite engaging.
