Proper Attire by Danielle Thorne digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

A sea of pirates and a hero in disguise...

 

Julia Scott flees an arranged marriage and a cruel stepmother to live with her uncle in the West Indies. Attacked by pirates and desired by island natives, the only person she can trust is John Smith, if that's his true name. Reaching her uncle's station in Antigua, Julia must face her feelings about her traitorous family, a dashing new suitor, and the guardian angel, John Smith, who has no qualms sporting counterfeit names and less than what is proper attire.

 

This book is a clean and wholesome Regency adventure.

Proper Attire Reviews

3.5
“I received an ebook copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book it was OK,.We have our heroine Julia Scott travelling to join her uncle in the Indies after being sent her away by her cruel stepmother from England. On-course her ship is attacked and Julia meets the mysterious John Smith who proceeds to rescue her time after time from one scrape or another eventually placing her with his cousin and wife after her identity is called into question. we learn that John Smith is actually Mr George Greenway and what follows is a sweet love story with the token villain thrown in for good measure and Julia our heroine realises people are not always what they seem and sometimes what you are seeking can be right beneath your nose.”
“I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. The cover was beautiful and it sounded like something I would love. I started reading it and finished in a couple hours it was so fun to read. There was so much action right off and you just want to know what is going on and why and I loved finding out all the answers. This was different and fun to read and I really liked Julia after getting to know her. This was an clean, adventure, regency romance and I wish it had been longer:} I am going to check out more by this author.”
