NEVER JUDGE A LADY BY HER COVER
Sarah MacLean

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

Romance Historical

Lady Georgiana had a ruined reputation by the age of sixteen. While Society deems it as a problem that cannot be overlooked, Georgiana isn't one to worry too much about it. In fact, her interests lie in other places as if she's living another life.

What is most interesting about Georgiana is that she lives a double life in some ways. In London, she is known as Chase, the mysterious founder of the most popular gaming hell. Her double identity has gone unnoticed for a long while but once the secret is out, will London be ready for her?

Duncan West is much more than your typical hero. He's observant and he knows that Georgiana is hiding something. NEVER JUDGE A LADY BY HER COVER explores their romance is a sweet way, but Maclean definitely makes the heroine shine in this book. A lot of the story is mainly told through Georgiana's POV and explores her conflicted feelings. Duncan's character, while intriguing, doesn't compare I don't think. Georgiana definitely shines, making her my favorite heroine since Callie in Nine Rules.

With the end of the Rules of Scoundrels series, MacLean definitely saved the best for last with NEVER JUDGE A LADY BY HER COVER.

SUMMARY

RITAยฎ Award-winning author Sarah MacLean reveals the identity of The Fallen Angel's final scoundrel in the spectacular conclusion to her New York Times bestselling Rules of Scoundrels series . . . By day, she is Lady Georgiana, sister to a duke, ruined before her first season in the worst kind of scandal. But the truth is far more shockingโ€”in London's darkest corners, she is Chase, the mysterious, unknown founder of the city's most legendary gaming hell. For years, her double identity has gone undiscovered . . . until now. Brilliant, driven, handsome-as-sin Duncan West is intrigued by the beautiful, ruined woman who is somehow connected to a world of darkness and sin. He knows she is more than she seems, and he vows to uncover all of Georgiana's secrets, laying bare her past, threatening her present, and risking all she holds dear . . . including her heart.
