I really wanted to rate this one higher, but it never reaches beyond being just okay. The main characters are engaging, but all the other characters are stereotypical and very hard to engage with. The masquerade is well and typical, but for someone with a conscience the lies were too much. Also, she kills her career in the very first chapter of this story, and for someone not recognizing her voice in the small circles of the ton is just ridiculous. The relationship and the chemistry between the two of them is wasted on the plot and story-line. My question for this story is why waste your time on someone whose heart is clearly engaged elsewhere and participate in a farce of a contest? Clearly the author thinks all men's egos would have been pricked to participate in the contest and the Viscount clearly falls into this category. Which leads to the question why would a woman fall in love with the Viscount knowing his true character and his willingness to deceive? It never reaches beyond being okay.
