A Clever Disguise
By Kathleen Fuller
Review by Roseanna White



Emily Dymoke is heartbroken. The man she loves has left forever, fleeing his own heartbreak, courtesy of her sister. Begging him to stay results only in humiliation—made all the worse when she realizes that Michael Balcarris heard the whole pathetic thing. Once upon a time, she and Michael had been friends. She’d even entertained a few romantic notions. But then he’d returned from college a complete fop, and now she just wishes he’d go away for good, too, instead of bothering her constantly.

Michael has loved Emily for years. He knows she can’t tolerate him, but he can hardly blame her for that—he can barely tolerate himself. But he has cultivated his image very carefully, and his profession requires he keep up the disguise. He knows he can never reveal his true self to Emily, just as he can never honestly pursue her. It’s just that he also can’t keep himself away.

A Clever Disguise is a charming, quick little book that regency lovers will not want to miss. The story is entertaining, with just enough mystery to tantalize, and the characters are endearing from the get-go.

Though there is no overt faith theme, there is also nothing in A Clever Disguise that Christians would take issue with, making this a light, clean romance that it was pure pleasure to pass an afternoon with. I thoroughly enjoyed the story and look forward to more titles from Kathleen Fuller.
