The Langley Sisters

review 1: Lady in Disguise is a fast-paced and exciting read. I really enjoyed Olivia’s character. She’s full of stubborn pride and reluctant to hand her heart back over, although she may not have ever stopped loving Will in the first place. Her and her sisters have fallen on hard times and are desperate. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Livvy’s up to the challenge. But, this means she finds herself in some dangerous heart-pounding predicaments. Not to mention, she’s up against a time period where women had certain roles to play.At first I found myself upset with Will. I wanted him to have cared more for Livvy the first go around, but he totally redeemed himself. Let’s say Livvy was able to hold out on him a LOT longer than I would have been able to. Plus, ... morewhen they are together it’s hard to ignore the fireworks.I recommend this to all those that enjoy historical romance with a little bit of steaminess and excitement on the side. There are some downright frightening scenes, too, that give the story a deeper plot than your average romance novel. I look forward to reading about the other Langley sisters!!Warnings: language, sexual content, near rape *I received a copy from the author in exchange for an honest review.*
review 2: A lovely romance, Lady in Disguise was a wonderful read. There was sweet romance, heinous blackmail, and a surprising secret. I really enjoyed reading this fantastic book.Olivia was a strong heroine. After her father died, she took responsibility for her sisters, even as her cousin took away their money and left them more and more destitute. Until, there was no money and Olivia had to take to stealing just to get by. Hence, the whole highwayman scheme. I really liked her, for the most part. She was absolutely determined to take care of her sisters in the best way she could. I had one complaint about her. She let her pride get the better of her and it was frustrating. At any time, she could have asked the duke for help and he would have helped. And, when Will came back he offered his help (and frequently forced her to let him help), but she didn't want any of it. I understood her need to hold on to pride when she had nothing else, but she took it too far. Her pride wasn't going to feed her sisters, but the duke's help would have. And, she tended to get snippy about the smallest things, thinking them charity rather than a man wanting to help out a woman he cared for. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was annoying enough for me to knock off a bit of the rating. Other than that, though, I really liked her. Will was amazing. He had left 5 years before because he knew he was on a path to destroying himself. Not only that, but he knew he would also be tearing down everyone around him if he stayed. So, he left. He knew he needed to get away so that he could grow up and become a better man. That definitely worked. He was a strong, honorable, clever man when he got back. But, then he had to deal with all the people he had left behind and inadvertently hurt. Including Olivia. I absolutely adored Will. He was a true gentleman, determined to care for those he loved. He made himself into a man that he could be proud of. I thought he was just perfect.The romance was lovely. Olivia and Will were sweet together. Even after those 5 years apart, neither of them stopped caring about the other. And, there was a bit of spice in there, though it wasn't too much. But, what was there was definitely hot.The plot was fast paced. I was hooked the entire way through. There was a secret that I never saw coming, one that had haunted Olivia for years. Definitely a shocker. I really enjoyed the story and the ending was lovely.Lady in Disguise was a fantastic historical romance. I really enjoyed reading this wonderful book. Lovers of romance, you'll want to check this book out.*I received a free copy from the author in exchange for an honest review less
