My Rating:
My Review:
The female main character, Madeline, has always followed societies rules but also has a passion for theater. She LOVES to perform. After almost 30 years, she finally get's her chance to perform even if it's under the disguise of a french widow. However nothing ever goes 100% well and first a mysterious Duke, Ferguson, comes back into London and seeks her help in assisting his sisters debut then that same Duke arrives to her last show which is the spark to the fuse that causes a whole lot of other issues.
Mad, as she is called by Ferguson, is a very brave passionate woman but she tries to hide herself to fit into society. Ferguson is the only person it seems to see her for who she truly is and it makes him feel things he'd rather not feel.
This story is about the characters discovering who they are, and what love is worth in their lives. I really loved how it was written and the little twists in the plot that made it just more amazing to read! I will definitely be picking up the second in the series!
