Never a Lady by Jacquie D’Alessandro


Premonitions of Death forces Colin Oliver, Viscount Sutton to fulfil his duty to his title by finding a wife in the Ton. On the prowl, he was surprised to encounter the thief he’d never forgotten being hailed as  Madame Alexandra, the renowned and much sought after fortune teller.

Alex had thought about him in the four years since and she  quickly hid herself in case he recognized her in her newest guise. Unfortunately while hiding, she overheard a plot to kill an exhalted ton member at a specific ball. Her conscience made her leave a letter explaining her discovery but it was just her luck that the person she addressed it to was murdered and that she is under suspicion as she was seen exiting the room the murder took place. Colin, former spy could not help but sacrifice his retirement to discern if the former thief was innocent or not. Her card reading indicate danger would befall him as he drew closer to a dark haired woman. They both knew it was her, but neither could stay away…

3/5

Moments of comedy especially between brothers. Also like how each was jealous of the other and that the barrier of their class made it interesting. Like little Robbie. However I expected more danger than what was hinted at. The culprit was unexpected though.
