Masquerade at Middlecrest Abbey by Abigail Wilson
•°o•:*:•.Suspicion,
Intrigue & Romance.•:*:• o°•
This is my first time reading Abigail Wilson’s writing and I
am already a huge fan! Her writing captivates and I suspected EVERYONE as this
mystery unfolded. The story moved along at a delightful pace and I could not
wait to turn each (electronic) page (smile) set in 1815 Southeastern
England. Lord Torrington is not what he
seems to the young, unwed Elizabeth. Elizabeth is not who he set out to rob.
“Think of our marriage as a
rather pleasant masquerade.” “My name is Adrian, by the way. You’d best start
calling me that.” He raised his chin. “Since we are madly in love and to be
married tomorrow.”
“Mrs. Baxter, some tea if you would.” The door cracked open and Mrs.
Baxter shuffled in with a silver platter filled with tea and cakes.
“Some things in life are not chiseled into perfect lines and boxes,
Elizabeth. They are far more complex, messier, glorious versions of the
original. You have to look hard to see what’s hidden.”
I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy a combined
mystery / romance, clean read in a historical setting.
I received an eCopy from the publisher through NetGalley for
my honest review with no further compensation or expectation.

PUBLISHER’S
SYNOPSIS
In this new Regency romance, Elizabeth knows she must protect her heart from the charm of her new husband, Lord Torrington. She is not, however, prepared to protect her life. When the widowed Lord Torrington agreed to spy for the crown, he never planned to impersonate a highwayman, let alone rob the wrong carriage. Stranded on the road with an unconscious young woman, he is forced to propose marriage to protect his identity and her reputation, as well as his dangerous mission.
Trapped not only by her duty to her country but also by her limited options as an unwed mother, Miss Elizabeth Cantrell and her infant son are whisked away to Middlecrest Abbey by none other than the elder brother of her son's absent father. There she is met by Torrington's beautiful grown daughters, a vicious murderer, and an urgent hunt for the missing intelligence that could turn the war with France. Meanwhile she must convince everyone that her marriage is a genuine love match if her new husband has any hope of uncovering the enemy.
Determined to keep her son's true identity a secret, Elizabeth will need to remain one step ahead of her fragile heart, her uncertain future, and the relentless fiend bent on her new family's ruin.
