Secrets of a Proper Lady

Written by Victoria Alexander

Narrated by Charlotte Parry

Who will be the last man standing? New York Times bestselling author Victoria Alexander's delicious series about four men desperately trying to avoid matrimony continues . . .

Lady Cordelia Bannister simply cannot marry a man she has not chosen herself, no matter what her father decrees. So, pretending to be her own companion, she decides to seek out information about her intended by meeting with his secretary—a man who soon beguiles her. But Lady Cordelia doesn't know the truth—the man she can't resist is really her intended, Daniel Sinclair.

Daniel has nearly won the wager he made with three of London's most eligible bachelors. While two of his compatriots have surrendered to the shackles of marriage, he's remained free to woo any woman he chooses. Yet duty forces him to consider Lady Cordelia—and determined to escape honor intact, he continues the masquerade he started.

Each find the other completely irresistible, but when they uncover their mutual mistaken identities, Daniel and Cordelia must make the most important choice of all . . .

My second Victoria Alexander book. I really enjoyed this one. Her trademark lively dialogue was laugh-out-loud funny in many places. A very cute story of mistaken identifies. The secondary characters really added to the story. Nice book!

I am quite a fan of Victoria Alexander. Her leading characters are often witty, their conversations usually full of humor and there are often a few sympathetic sidecharacters. In her latest novel SECRETS OF A PROPER LADY, however, she overdoes these elements and it becomes anoying. There is a bit too much confusion all around about who is who, who mistook whom, who is fooling whom etc. There is too much focus on the interaction between hero/heroine and their relationships with family and friends and too little on interaction between the leading characters themselves. In the end, I was not very convinced why Cordelia and Daniel should belong together, and isn't that what it should be all about?
