One naughty little masquerade can't hurt…
Unladylike Behavior
Frances Hadley has managed her family’s estate for years. So why can’t she request her own dowry? She’ll have to go to London herself and knock some sense into the men interfering in her life. With the nonsense she’s dealt with lately, though, there’s no way she’s going as a woman. A pair of breeches and a quick chop of her red curls, and she’ll have much less to worry about…
Jack Valentine, third son of the famous Duchess of Love, is through being pursued by pushy young ladies. One particularly determined miss has run him out of his own house party. Luckily the inn has one bed left—Jack just has to share with a rather entertaining red-headed youth. Perhaps the two of them should ride to London together. It will make a pleasant escape from his mother’s matchmaking melodrama!

I'm a fan of Sally MacKenzie's books but found this one disappointing. Jack and Frances mistakenly spend a night in the same bed in an inn while Frances is dressed as a boy. The rest of the book they are working to restore her reputation while also trying to capture a Jack the Ripper type killer. The problem is that Frances isn't very likable. She's prickly, judgemental and at times even mean. She had some good reasons for being that way, but I still didn't like her so it was hard too root for her and hard to like the book. Sally MacKenzie has written some fun books and I'm a fan but this book didn't cut it for me.
