I found myself thinking several times in this book - if women were really like this they didn't deserve the right to vote! There were moments of Katie MacAlister's humor, but only glimpses and not enough to make this a worthwhile read.

As a 'new world woman'in Victorian England, Cassandra explores her ideas of freedom for women by taking a lover and aiding the suffragette movement. She fights conventions and ruffians who kidnap her and try to murder her lover.
A very fun read especially for the Kindle price. Oct 19, Stacy rated it liked it. Not up to Katie's usual work, but a fun book overall. The story is about Cassandra Whitney. Shes's a New Woman and involved with the women's suffrage movement. It's there that she meets the St John family. As usual, for Katie MacAlister, there's romance, mystery and humor. It's basically an historical romance but it was just so overly goofy that I couldn't really ever get into the book.
Jul 12, Harriet rated it liked it Shelves: A silly, cute romance that I enjoyed in spite of several typos and a couple of plot holes. Griffin's character wasn't as well developed as it could have been, I think, but since the story is told from Cassandra's POV, I suppose that makes sense.
Aug 03, Sherrie Counts rated it it was amazing. I loved this book! The heroine was not a push over and was willing to compromise but was hardheaded and Had to learn the hard way. Could not put the book down. Had to find out what happens next!

May 08, C. Hampton Jones rated it really liked it. I like Katie's sense of humor. I wish she would get back to writing historical fiction because vampirism is not my style. This book ends grim, but I was surprised by that turn in the plot. Without it it would have been less interesting. Hence the 4 stars.
