Her hair should be all askew, with ink smudged on her face, and her position in relation to Ash should be one that is MUCH more forceful, direct, and from a place of power. I’m a little disappointed that the cover isn’t a better representation of Verity… After reading this book, I can NOT picture her lounging so passively in that gorgeous pink dress. And if you haven’t read the first book in the Regency Imposters series, Unmasked by the Marquess yet, GO DO IT – Robin is a nonbinary MC and the entire book is just AMAAAAZE.

Can Verity accept who Ash must become or will he turn away the only woman he’s ever loved?Ĭontent Warning: off page domestic violence, off page neglect of child, epileptic seizureįirst off, HOORAY for a neurodivergent MC and a bisexual MC! *throws a party* When Cat Sebastian tweeted something about A Duke in Disguise being her first m/f romance, I was little like “but why?” Not that I don’t read all sorts of romances (I do), but Cat does queer romance SO WELL. As they explore their long-buried passion, it becomes harder for Ash to face the music. She knows from bitter experience that she isn’t cut out for romance, but the more time she spends with Ash, the more she wonders if maybe she’s been wrong about herself.Īsh has a month before his identity is exposed, and he plans to spend it with Verity. Lately it seems she’s not getting anything she wants. Without a family or a proper education, he’s had to fight for his place in the world, and the idea of it-and Verity-being taken away from him chills him to the bone.Īll Verity wants is to keep her brother out of prison, her business afloat, and her hands off Ash. The last thing he needs is to discover he’s a duke’s lost heir. Now he has his hands full illustrating a book and trying his damnedest not to fall in love with his best friend. But he’s never been able to deny Verity Plum. If anyone else had asked for his help publishing a naughty novel, Ash would have had the sense to say no.
