Fool Me Twice

In the gaming hells of 18th-century London, orphan Caro Worth is leading a double life. By day, she plays a proper gentlewoman on the lookout for a wealthy husband. By night, she plays the infamous Angelica, her fictional half-sister with a talent for cards and an ability to finance the life her respectable self has built. An introduction to a rich Marquis brings marriage and security within Caro's grasp - until the arrival of the unpredictable and totally ineligible Mr. Tobias Felton.

Dismayed by Felton's persistent appearances, shocking frankness, and enigmatic green eyes, Caro watches helplessly as he comes closer than anyone to guessing her secret, but when complete and utter ruin threatens, she finds that Felton's suspicions just might become her salvation. As the walls she has built to protect herself crumble down around her, Caro learns that no matter how careful your plans, life and love have a habit of falling quite spectacularly out of control!

An interesting, clean romance

I liked the writing, the performance, and the clean story -- although I'm not a normally a fan of gambling/adventure plots. I read HAE romances because I like to feel relaxed and happy while reading a romance. I perfer less tension and suspense in romances. but I expect that i will enjoy it more in the future when I decide to do a re-read.
