Summary

Miss Lucinda Parnell is out of money. A dismal failure at the Marriage Mart, she'd just as soon leave Society far behind. Desperate to earn funds to retire with her grandmother to the country, Lucy disguises herself as a man to gamble in London's hells. But the Earl of Dartford, an Untouchable she never imagined speaking to let alone spending time with, is onto her in a trice. When he insists on acting as her protector, Lucy fears her chance to remain an independent woman is destined to go up in flames.

After losing his entire family, Andrew Wentworth, Earl of Dartford, built a wall to keep attachments at bay. He believed he could keep Miss Parnell safe without compromising his defenses, but she's exciting and irresistible. Their deepening relationship makes him even more determined to push her away. Nothing will stop him from trying to avoid reliving the anguish of loss. Love is the one risk he doesn't have the heart to dare.

TOO Ridiculous.

Why write a historical novel set in a particular time with all the societies rules and regulations. Then, have the characters behave as though they are in the 21st century. Even American women in their "high societies" in that period of time didn't have these so-called freedoms described in this book. The Heroine, if caught, would have become a piranha. A woman, no matter what she looks like, who dresses up and behaves like a man is a "certain type of woman," not acceptable to any decent person. The Hero would have been derided by his fellow males for so humiliating the male sex. Even if they married, they would not be accepted in any decent society.
I haven't got to the end yet, but don't hold out that much hope for sanity to return.
