Cecilia meets with our tempting chameleon hero disguised like a salesman tries to give her a brochure and after Cecilia’s rejecting, he tries to climb up to their window, telling her the cruel lady Isabella Armitage- long time nemesis of the family and black widow who has brilliant techniques to get rid of her husbands, hired an Italian contract killer to take her life.Ī few minutes a grenade is thrown at their house and the same man Captain Neil Lightbourne who is also her vicious assassin salutes her with cunning smile.
Cheers to those ladies!Įspecially the hilarious opening gave me so much: we’re introduced Cecilia and her aunt are waiting for their luncheon when they hear the bang on the door. And of course they can steal everything in front of your eyes cunningly and adroitly without getting noticed and then taking the direction of their houses to fly them anywhere they want like a skillful pirate captain who controls his ship. Think about a group of multi tasking women who can use weapons expertly as they resume sipping their teas and gossiping about last royalty scandals.
It’s a great combination of espionage, fairy tal-ish fantasy, smart action, regency romance with very smart and sarcastic sense of humor! Holly hell, this is way too much entertaining, hilarious, witty to be accompanied by tea and biscuits ( of course I added at least four drops of bourbon into my tea : that’s why I giggle too loud and luckily you cannot hear the ear bleeding villanelle laugh I’m performing!) When Morvath imperils the Wisteria Society, Cecilia is forced to team up with her handsome would-be assassin to save the women who raised her-hopefully proving, once and for all, that she's as much of a scoundrel as the rest of them. But both men have made one grave mistake. His employer, Captain Morvath, who possesses a gothic abbey bristling with cannons and an unbridled hate for the world, intends to rid England of all its presumptuous women, starting with the Wisteria Society. Unfortunately, that happens to be while he's under direct orders to kill her. Ned Lightbourne is a sometimes assassin who is smitten with Cecilia from the moment they meet.
Sure, she has a dark and traumatic past and an overbearing aunt, but all things considered, it's a pleasant existence.
Like the other members of the Wisteria Society crime sorority, she flies around England drinking tea, blackmailing friends, and acquiring treasure by interesting means. A prim and proper lady thief must save her aunt from a crazed pirate and his dangerously charming henchman in this fantastical historical romance.Ĭecilia Bassingwaite is the ideal Victorian lady.
