About the book:
In this new Regency romance, Elizabeth knows she must protect her heart from the charm of her new husband, Lord Torrington. She is not, however, prepared to protect her life.
When the widowed Lord Torrington agreed to spy for the crown, he never planned to impersonate a highwayman, let alone rob the wrong carriage. Stranded on the road with an unconscious young woman, he is forced to propose marriage to protect his identity and her reputation, as well as his dangerous mission.
Trapped not only by her duty to her country but also by her limited options as an unwed mother, Miss Elizabeth Cantrell and her infant son are whisked away to Middlecrest Abbey by none other than the elder brother of her son’s absent father. There she is met by Torrington’s beautiful grown daughters, a vicious murderer, and an urgent hunt for the missing intelligence that could turn the war with France. Meanwhile she must convince everyone that her marriage is a genuine love match if her new husband has any hope of uncovering the enemy.
Determined to keep her son’s true identity a secret, Elizabeth will need to remain one step ahead of her fragile heart, her uncertain future, and the relentless fiend bent on her new family’s ruin.

My thoughts:
4.5 stars
I read and enjoyed Midnight on the River Grey last year, so I jumped at the chance to read this latest release from Abigail Wilson. I'm so happy to say that I loved this one even more!
The story starts out with a scene that gave me a good introduction to the characters and also hinted at what was to come. I loved how the romance progressed - a marriage of convenience, but you could tell that there were sparks. ;)
The mystery was SO good. You didn't know who to trust and there was endless danger lurking around, it seemed.
All in all, Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey was worth the read and I recommend it.

Thank you for hosting Masquerade on the blog and your awesome review! I so appreciate it, Melanie!
ReplyDeleteExcellent review, Melanie! Thank you for participating in the tour. I'm excited to read Masquerade.
ReplyDeleteYou review makes the book sound marvelous. The "spark" in a convenience marriage and the promise of mystery. Great! Would love to win this and read it. Thomas Nelson publishes excellent books but for some reason I'm not familiar with this author.
ReplyDeleteThank you for being on this tour, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Sara @ TLC Book Tours
