Publisher's Summary

The town of Bath offers ample opportunities for mischief - and romance Carolyn Hardy, determined to hold out for the true love promised in the romance novels she devours, has already broken two betrothals. Although she attracts the attention of many men - including the Prince Regent's brother - she knows little of their more unsavory ways, and resents the efforts of her guardian, elegant Sydney Saint-Denis, to shield her from them. To prove her mettle, heedless of any risk, Carolyn flirts more outrageously than ever, even with a gypsy prince. She certainly doesn't view Sydney as a potential suitor. In no way does the foppish man resemble the hero of her dreams. But she will learn that there's more to Sydney than meets the eye...The Bath Charade is the second book of the Bath Trilogy, which also includes The Bath Quadrille and The Bath Eccentric's Son.

The Bath Chronicle

I like this author usually but this is rather a silly story with a foppish hero and annoying heroine.
But even so I persevered and found the plot carried me along.
But the narrator is not at all suitable for a Regency drama set in Bath. An American accent with pronunciation of places like Reading (pronounced as Reeding when it should be Redding) set my teeth on edge. I will get the third book in the series and hope for a different narrator.

Carolyn was too smart by half.

I thought I would like this more than i actually did.

For a 21yo of that time period I found her childish. She admonishes the ninny in the book she's reading in the opening chapter but similarly behaves as such for the rest of the chapters. Hypocritical. Sidney has the patient of a saint with EI beyond that of his peers. How he puts up with the brood of women in his household, I just don't know, and how he falls for Caro is totally beyond me.

I guess I don't suffer fools lightly so this was definitely not for me but for those who don't mind reading about a ninny who seems to have more lives than a cat and emerge from sticky situations unscathed I guess this would be an interesting read.
