✦ Synopsis

An opinionated tomboy must navigate the dangers of society, unaware her brother's killer is lurking in her midst.

When her brother's ship sinks off the coast of France, Miss Samantha Hastings surrenders her quiet, country life to manage his affairs. Suddenly thrust into society, Samantha faces an unfamiliar world and the unnerving green eyes of Lord Westwood-her brother's best friend and her new guardian.

Benjamin, Lord Westwood, never intended on following through with his rash promise to act as guardian to Edward's bratty little sister. Upon learning of his best friend's death, Benjamin's intention was to marry her off to the first acceptable suitor. When he finds himself falling for Samantha instead, Benjamin alights upon the perfect plan; a marriage of convenience.

The plan, however, quickly unravels when they discover Edward's disappearance was due to foul play. Now, Samantha is in more danger than either of them realized and Benjamin is running out of time. Can he save the woman he loves or will murder ruin his perfect plan?

Review

I cannot wait for book two!! This needs to be a TV series or something! Dark, sexy, mystery, romance. Oh Lordy, Ms. Drake can write some books!

A PERFECT PLAN (book 1) starts us off in the mid 1800's, and I have to tell you that in the beginning, I thought I was reading The Imp of the Perverse (Poe), which for me was awesome because I love Poe's short stories. Then I had to remind myself, wait a minute, this is a romance. So let's recap. We have a 1800's era book with dark and mysterious goings-on in the beginning, but it's a romance! Which makes you want to keep flipping the pages, to see what the heck is going on. The seductive scenes are proof that this is indeed a romance, and although they take account of the era, they are no less stimulating. To sum up, this marked as a romance, but it has so many other elements.

This book is a must read, even for someone who doesn't particularly read romance novels. If you enjoy a good read with some mystery, read this one. It is a light read, but very exciting throughout the entire book, nothing too taxing on the brain, which I appreciate as I work so much lately. I read for enjoyment, not to stress myself more! Although after reading the epilogue, now I am slightly stressed waiting on book 2! Best epilogue ever! Also, this is a 4 and half star rating, not just a 4. Excellent job.
