Review: Miss Cheney’s Charade by Emily Hendrickson
Miss Emma Cheney yearns for intrigue and adventure, but sadly her gender and the strict conventions of the time she’s living in prevent her from being like her brother, George, who goes on archeological expeditions and immerses himself in the past. But when Emma opens up a letter inviting her brother to the unwrapping of a mummy, Emma decides to throw caution to the wind and to wear her brother’s clothes and masquerade as her brother. Emma is sure that the letter writer and host of this event shall not be able to recognize that she is in fact impersonating her brother. But then again, Emma has never met Sir Peter Dancy!
Although it’s been some time since Sir Peter Dancy saw George Cheney, he is not fooled by Emma’s disguise. He knows that behind the breeches and frock coat lies an intelligent, feisty and highly intriguing woman, so he comes up with the perfect plan to get to know Emma better. As the two begin to spend more and more time together, Peter finds himself falling for Emma and when he sees her at a society ball, Peter realizes that Emma is the woman he would like to spend the rest of his life with.
But Peter soon finds himself in a terrible quandary. Shall he tell Emma that he knows her secret? Or will he keep silent and risk losing the woman he has grown to love?
Miss Cheney’s Charade is lighthearted Regency romance at its best! Quirky, witty, tender and engaging, Miss Cheney’s Charade is another keeper from a writer who can always be relied on to deliver a historical romance readers will not easily forget: Emily Hendrickson!
