A Little Light Mischief

July 26, 2019

Alice Stapleton worked hard caring for her drunkard father at the vicarage. Now, as a companion to Mrs. Wraxhall, she enjoys a position of relative leisure, though she's certain the lady's maid is hiding something nefarious, stealing out of the house at odd hours. Molly Wilkins has led a difficult life, coming clean from her days as a thief. If only Alice would stop watching her every move. Discovering a secret from Molly's past, Alice realizes her judgements about Molly were unfounded, and ultimately the two give in to their mutual desire for each other. When it's revealed that Alice's family has wronged her, the mischievous Molly comes up with a plan for payback for the man who got Alice banished from her home. VERDICT Sebastian crafts another enormously fun, sexy romp that is also touching, with two heroines who make each other better together than they were alone. This latest entry in the "Turner" series (after The Ruin of a Rake) stands on its own and will make readers wish for more about the winsome duo. Highly recommended.--Eve Stano, Ball State Univ.
