His Lady in Hiding by Jen Geigle Johnson
4.0
His Lady in Hiding is a regency adventure about what a woman will do to escape her repulsive future, ultimately uncovering secrets about her past. The most fun and refreshing thing about this story is that it doesn't take place in London society, but rather a sea voyage to the colonies in America. I always tend to like forbidden romances and this is definitely that. Two people who find themselves thrown together by literal turbulence and then find themselves falling for each other day by day with little measure of power to do anything about it.
I liked Liz's spirit and her determination to measure up to the duties equal to a great housekeeper despite her lack of experience and the proximity it gives her to Lord Barton. Her indomitable will drives the book, always seeming to know what she wants. The only things I was a little bugged about was that Barton seemed to drag his feet on his stance in their relationship and I just wanted him to show a little more bravery and loyalty in declaring his feelings and attentions to her. Such a fun way to present a romance with a definite clashing of both wit and wills!
