\"25556270\"<\/a>Book Blurb:<\/h2>\n

A Lady in Disguise
\nDesperate to leave her past behind, Claudine Valencourt is less than thrilled to encounter the one man she could never forget. Not surprisingly, gorgeous self-made millionaire Leonardo Barnett doesn\u2019t recognize her when he walks into a sleazy Paris cabaret in the middle of her performance. He never took much notice of her in the first place, and seven years have passed since her unfortunate infatuation. No longer na\u00efve about men, she\u2019s well aware of his womanizing reputation, but when he promises her exactly what she needs\u2014escape, a means of independence, a new beginning in New York\u2014she can\u2019t resist.
\nDespite her best judgment, she can\u2019t resist Leo either. When the allegedly self-absorbed entertainment magnate surprises her with compassion, tenderness, and wit, her dormant longings flame back to life stronger than ever. But dare she trust him with her secrets and her heart? With adventure and exquisite passion come disturbing revelations and inconceivable dangers for a lady pretending to be someone she\u2019s not.
\nA Millionaire\u2019s Prize
\nAfter one woman\u2019s treachery destroyed his future, it took years for Leo to rebuild his life and succeed on his own terms. It only takes a few days for a vulnerable young beauty with a heartbreaking voice to pierce through his cynicism and defenses. Her warmth and guileless sensuality reveal a protective instinct he never knew he had and a desire that was there all along. His self-restraint battles with his yearning to keep his precious discovery for himself, and he soon realizes the folly of promises he could never keep<\/p>\n

Review:<\/h2>\n

Claudine fears she has shamed her parents.\u00a0 That is why she finds herself performing in a shady dance hall.\u00a0 That is when Leo sees her.\u00a0 Unbeknownst to him he knows her.\u00a0 Claudine fears he will go to her parents, but when she realizes he has no clue who she is and offers her a job in America she jumps at it.\u00a0 While on the journey to America, Leo begins to see Claudine as more than just an employee.\u00a0 As they grow closer and their relationship changes can Leo accept her deception and help her or will it all fall apart due to stubbornness?
\nThis was quite the entertaining book.\u00a0 I liked that it spanned the ocean and brought the culture of the times and two different cities into light.\u00a0 It was also nice seeing Leo and Claudine’s relationship grow and change.\u00a0 I also liked the elements of the seedier parts of life in that time shown a light on.\u00a0 Bess Greenfield managed to weave a wonderful story that brought history to life and sprinkled it with romance.\u00a0 Overall, if you are a historical romance fan you will highly enjoy this book with its interesting characters set in a fantastic background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
